More shoppers worldwide are discovering the convenience of buying online. But for this market of some 300 million potential consumers to use their credit cards online, they have to be sure that a website is legitimate and belongs to a trustworthy business, and know that their online communications and transactions are secure. You can win their confidence and increase your sales - at low cost - by securing your website with a VeriSign Server Certificate.

A Server Certificate delivers end-to-end transaction security on communications between any customer using Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers and your secured server. It protects communications over the web through the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Each certificate comes with the unique seal of authenticity, Secure SiteSM Seal. When you display this recognisable logo on your website, potential customers can instantly verify that your site is secure and can be trusted.

A choice of server certificates is available to fit your ecommerce and server security requirements and to keep pace with them as your business grows:

Global Server Certificate:
Recommended for organisations - such as banks, insurance companies and healthcare bodies - that transact high-value information or monies through their website, and for protecting international transactions, since Global Server Certificates are granted only to legitimate businesses that meet the necessary US government qualifying criteria. With 128-bit SSL, it offers the strongest level of encryption commercially available today for secure communications irrespective of the age of most browsers in use.

Secure Server Certificate:
Suitable for information sites and for organisations that need to secure a single or small number of websites for themselves, or in the case of companies like ISPs, that must obtain server certificates on behalf of different organisations. It enables the use of SSL technology at 40-bit encryption or higher depending on the version of browser used.

Managed Server Multipack:
Designed to meet the needs of organisations with 5 or more servers to secure. You save money by purchasing your Secure or Global Server Certificates in bulk packs of 5 to 1000 certificates rather than one at a time, and then save time through your own Administrator locally issuing and managing the certificates.

Do you need to control access to your e-commerce website?:
With a managed service to create multiple digital certificates for each of your customers you can control access and provide the ability to electronically sign transactions. Find out more about Managed PKI solutions from BT.
