SSL Certificate

Before a certificate authority issues an SSL Certificate, they authenticate the information provided in the certificate request. The more complete the authentication, the more site visitors trust the certificate.

When you submit your certificate request, GeoTrust verifies the information as quickly as possible. The quality of the information provided and their ability to independently validate it affects the speed with which GeoTrust issue a certificate.

With the increase of fraud and identity theft, online visitors have learned to look for trust signs when they transact online. A GeoTrust® True Site Seal, available with every GeoTrust SSL Certificate, shows web site visitors that their information is protected. Add the GeoTrust True Site Seal to your home page, buy page, log-in or any other page on your authenticated site where visitors need to verify your web site.
