Hi,
We are going to set up ssl on a webserver at work and I guess that means
we need a certificate... does anyone have any useful alternatives to
Verisign? Are they really worth the name?
We are not going to be doing any monetary transactions but our clients
are very security conscious (who isn't!) and I have no experience in
these matters. I am certain the boss will want verisign, as he buys a
lot of stuff just for the name but if I can offer him a comparable
alternative at a fraction of the cost he may go for it.
Cheers
Antoine
I prefer Geotrust (http://www.geotrust.com/) to Verisign for third party
signed certificates. Remember that your web server must be properly
configured (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_howto.html) in
order to offer any real security.
Best,
Dave
