128-битный суперсертификат обеспечивает наивысшую защиту вашего сервера с поддержкой SSL. СуперСертификат от Thawte
позволит Вам обеспечить 128-битовое шифрование для всех ваших клиентов, включая тех, которые используют старые и
международные версии браузеров с поддержкой 40-битного или 56-битного шифрования.
Важным показателем безопасности сертификата является размер использованного в нем кодового числа --
так называемая длина ключа. До недавнего времени законодательство США ограничивало экспорт технологий криптозащиты с
большой длиной ключа. В связи с этим большинство используемых в мире версий браузеров и другого сетевого ПО могут
работать лишь с ключами не длиннее 40 бит. Такой уровень защиты не соответствует современным требованиям безопасности.
Для исправления ситуации Thawte предоставляет своим корпоративным клиентам Суперсертификаты (SuperCerts) с ключами
длиной 128 бит. Ключ такой длины на нынешнем уровне развития компьютерной техники невозможно вскрыть за разумный
промежуток времени (менее срока действия сертификата). Особенностью Суперсертификата является то, что, даже если клиент
использует международную версию браузера с коротким ключом, для защиты соединения с сервером -- владельцем
Суперсертификата все равно будет применена надежная 128-битная технология. Суперсертификаты Thawte распознаются
браузерами Internet Explorer 5.01, Netscape Communicator 4.7, и всеми версиями выше.
Компания Thawte получила специальную лицензию правительства США, дающую право выпускать сертификаты, позволяющие
международным версиям браузеров работать со 128-битным шифрованием.
Новые правила экспорта американских технологий шифрования данных вступили в силу 14 января 2000 года. В соответствии
с их требованиями Thawte может предоставлять Суперсертификаты любой неправительственной структуре и любой коммерческой
правительственной организации (исключая производителей вооружения) в любой стране, кроме Афганистана, Кубы, Ирана,
Ирака, Ливии, Северной Кореи, Сербии, Судана и Сирии.
Premium Server Gated Cryptography SSL certificates with full authentication and automatic 128-bit step-up encryption
What is a thawte SGC SuperCert?
thawte's new SGC SuperCert now automatically steps up to 128-bit encryption for certain end-users with the Windows 2000 operating system who, in the past, would not receive 128-bit encryption irrespective of the version of Internet Explorer used. The systems affected are those that shipped prior to about March of 2001 and did not subsequently have Microsoft's High Encryption pack or Service Pack 2 installed. thawte's SGC SuperCert ensures that all these site visitors enjoy the protection of the strongest SSL encryption available.
An SGC SuperCert from thawte will allow you to extend 128-bit encryption to your customers, even if they use browsers (IE 4.X or Netscape 4.06 and later) limited to 40-bit or 56-bit encryption capabilities.
New: SGC SuperCert certificate contents can now include Internationalized characters including Internationalized Domain Names. Click here to find out more about this great new feature.
How is this possible?
A thawte SGC SuperCert enables Server Gate Cryptography (SGC) or "Step-Up" functionality in your Netscape or Microsoft browser and turns 40-bit and 56-bit browsers into 128-bit strong browsers (IE 4.X or Netscape 4.06 and later) while users are visiting your site.
Why is this important?
In the past, browser versions developed for export from the US were not automatically enabled to support 128-bit encryption. These browsers used 40-bit or 56-bit encryption, which is much more vulnerable to the interception of information while in transit.
These browsers are still in use today, even within the United States . This means that a sizable portion of your international customer base may be unable to enjoy the benefits of 128-bit encryption. thawte's SGC SuperCert solution allows you to provide your customers with the strongest possible encryption on the web.
Why a thawte SGC SuperCert?
It’s all about trust. thawte offers highest-level authentication and verification procedures with the SGC SuperCert and is one of the most respected Certification Authorities (CAs) globally. thawte’s stringent authentication is “bullet-proof”, which is why we have been trusted as an independent authority to sign digital certificates since the early days of the Internet.
128-bit encryption
Cryptographers consider 128-bit encryption practically impossible to crack (it would take millions of years with the fastest computers to try all the combinations). With 128-bit encryption you can ensure that your international customer base will be able to exchange information with you using the strongest possible encryption.
What does a thawte SGC SuperCert offer you?
The most stringent levels of authentication to minimize the possibilities of fraud and promote a trusted relationship between you and your customers.

Additional new benefit
A major software vendor has released a beta version of their browser that will have automatic certificate revocation checking as a default option.

thawte has the resources and experience to stay ahead of the rest, and always offers the best-of-breed products and product support.
Is the SGC SuperCert the right product for me?
All businesses with a global customer base need thawte's SGC SuperCert, since many international customers still make use of 40-bit and 56-bit 'export' browsers that do not offer automatic 128-bit encryption.

How does thawte's SGC SuperCert solution work?
