Resell SSL Certificates

In the global competition for Web services, providers compete on price and service options. If you offer Web hosting, design, or application development services, you can create more value and capture more business by offering premium-brand SSL Certificates.

Authentication and Trust

Your customers may not realize it, but they may be losing business because potential buyers do not trust their sites. According to TNS market research, seventy percent of online shoppers have abandoned an online purchase because they didn’t get a sense of security when it came time to provide payment information. Ninety percent of these shoppers report that they would have completed the transaction had a recognized trust mark, such as the VeriSign Secured™ Seal, been present.

Every VeriSign-branded SSL Certificate includes the VeriSign Secured Seal, the most trusted mark on the Internet. When online shoppers see the VeriSign Secured Seal, they are more likely to complete their transactions and trust the site. And by clicking on the VeriSign Secured® Seal, they can view the authentication information provided to VeriSign.

To learn more about this offering, please contact your VeriSign representative.

VeriSign Secure Site 
The VeriSign Secure Site SSL Certificate is a high value, premium brand SSL Certificate. Secure Site fully-authenticated SSL Certificates enable encryption at 256-bit, 128-bit, 56-bit, or 40-bit levels depending on the client’s browser and the Web server configuration. Includes the VeriSign Secured Seal and a $100,000 NetSure® warranty.

VeriSign Secure Site Pro 
The VeriSign Secure Site Pro SSL Certificate (SGC-enabled) enables every site visitor to enjoy the strongest SSL encryption available to them. This True 128-bit SSL Certificate includes the VeriSign Secured Seal and a $250,000 NetSure warranty. For companies with their reputation at stake, an SGC-enabled SSL Certificate with a premium brand provides the best protection.

Code and Content Protection 
A VeriSign Code Signing Certificate is used by developers and distributors of software, games, and other applications to help assure the integrity and authorship of code or content distributed over the Internet or corporate extranets. When customers download code, the digital signature confirms that the software has come from the publisher, and that the code has not been altered or corrupted during download. As code sales migrate beyond computers to phones, handhelds, and other devices, more of your customers may be providing products to these new markets and require code signing certificates.
