GlobalSign Certificate Authority Root
Embedded in all browsers and devices, future-proof at 2048 bit and capable of stepping up weak encryption to strong encryption - there is not a more reliable Certificate AuthorityIn today’s interconnected world, your online solutions need to interact seamlessly with customers connecting to your web server, reading your emails, running your code or trusting your electronic documents. The GlobalSign Root Certificate is present in every popular machine, device, application and platform that utilizes the trust of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) e.g. SSL/TLS, S/MIME, Code Signing and Document Signing.
In 1998, GlobalSign had the foresight to create a strong Root Certificate by using 2048 bit RSA keys. This makes the GlobalSign Root Certificate the most widely distributed Certification Authority to already meet the NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) recommendation that from 2011 onwards all cryptographic keys should be 2048 bit in strength. Anything less than 2048 bit will most likely be deemed insecure, which has prompted the CA/Browser Forum to insist that all Extended Validation SSL Certificates are to be 2048 bit from the 1st January 2009 in anticipation. GlobalSign can offer 2048 bit strength across our entire Digital Certificate portfolio.
GlobalSign is also one of the few Certification Authorities that can offer SGC (Server Gated Cryptography). This enables SSL Certificates to force web servers to create a strong 128 bit encrypted connection with older, weak 40 bit encryption browsers. To customers, the added strength of a 2048 bit root and the inclusion of SGC strong encryption is transparent – and to you, you are safe in the knowledge that the strongest encryption available is always being used to secure your communications.
