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.
