Symantec (VeriSign) SSL Certificate
Tianwei integrity in Beijing stayed for more than three years, has been engaged in the work has been engaged in the agency of the United States VeriSign SSL certificate in the Chinese mainland area of technical support work, VeriSign and around October 2010 was acquired by Symantec, since VeriSign SSL certificate after a period of time, then officially changed its name to Symantec SSL certificate, but out of habit, customers and internal employees of the company are still called VeriSign SSL certificate.
After the acquisition of VeriSign SSL certificate business by Symantec, there is no difference in basic business, but the price has been adjusted (increased). In addition, free website security vulnerability assessment has been provided for customers applying for SSL certificate, and the amount of insurance provided for the certificate purchased by customers has also increased greatly, ranging from 100w to 150w, to avoid the loss to customers if there are security problems after using the certificate. Everything is compensated by the insurance company.
The growth of Symantec SSL certificate business in China, including around the world, is still very objective, so that now many companies want to intervene in this industry to get a piece of the pie, including some large computer industry companies, such as Beijing CA,CFCA, Asia Integrity, which has been active in Shanghai in the past two years, Wotong in Shenzhen, and CNNIC, the Internet center of China. With its own advantages, CNNIC has made its own brand of SSL certificate which belongs to China. Of course, in addition to the VeriSign SSL certificate brand acquired by Symantec, there are other certificate brands that have done relatively well. These two companies, and of course, some companies like Entrust, but such companies basically do not have any share in the market. International brands Symantec (VeriSign), GlobalSign,Comodo, these three companies have a market rate of more than 90%. Especially in 2011 or 12 years, the European CA institutions were hacked, which affected many CA certification institutions around the world more or less, which also highlights that there are security problems in the CA certificate industry, which is a security organization itself. But after such an incident, it is believed that most CA institutions have strengthened the security of their systems in varying degrees to avoid such incidents.
The biggest function of SSL certificate is to increase the security of data transmission on online websites, which will be introduced in future blog posts.
