Magazine
GeoTrust QuickSSL™ Breaks 10-Minute
Barrier for SSL Provisioning
January 9, 2002 - BOSTON, MA. - GeoTrust, Inc.(www.geotrust.com),
a leader in trust solutions for the Internet security
infrastructure, today announced that GeoTrust has
been named to Web Hosting Magazine's Editors' Choice
Top 100 Awards list for its QuickSSL digital certificate
solution. GeoTrust's patent-pending QuickSSL technology
reduces SSL provisioning time from four or more days
found with first generation solutions to less than
ten minutes.
"We used to purchase digital certificates from
another vendor but it took four days or longer with
a painful manual process. GeoTrust issues certificates
within minutes using their automated web-based process,
eliminating the need for manual provisioning. We are
very pleased with our customer's enthusiastic response
and our reduced operating expense," said Salvatore
Milia, CTO of Vancouver, Canada-based Backbone Technology
Inc.
QuickSSL provides near-instantaneous delivery of
commercial quality, 128-bit, SSL digital certificates
for encrypting communications between Web browsers
and servers - the technology that activates the lock
symbol in user's browsers. QuickSSL provides SSL certificates
within 10 minutes of receipt of a valid request using
a new patent-pending automated authentication system.
This allows Web hosting companies, small and medium
businesses, and enterprises to obtain SSL certificates
quickly and easily, without the 3-5 day wait typical
of first generation solutions.
According to Netcraft, GeoTrust's position in the
SSL digital certificates market is second only to
VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRSN). GeoTrust's leadership
position in this market was firmly established with
its recent acquisition of the digital certificates
business of Equifax Secure, Inc., the e-commerce division
of Equifax Inc.
