InterSpace and GeoTrust Europe partner to provide Israeli customers with 128 bit SSL for secure online transactions

March 2004, Maidstone, London, UK and Netanya, Israel. GeoTrust Europe (www.geotrusteurope.com) a leader in identity and security solutions for e-business and the second largest certificate authority worldwide, today announced a strategic partnership with InterSpace Ltd (www.interspace.co.il), a leader in Israel for web hosting and ebusiness solutions. The partnership will see InterSpace join GeoTrust Europe as an International Affiliate and will provide GeoTrust SSL certificates, including the popular QuickSSL Premium and True BusinessID brands, to Interspace’s International customers.

GeoTrust SSL solutions protect Internet transactions and communications such as e-commerce and sensitive business communications by confirming the identity of companies and domains, and encrypting data and e-mail. GeoTrust’s QuickSSL Premium is a 128 bit SSL certificate issued in only 10 minutes, making it the industry’s fastest and most convenient SSL issuance process. The automated processes reduce the issuance costs, which are in turn reflects in the low price of a QuickSSL Premium certificate. InterSpace will also be promoting True BusinessID, a traditional 128 bit SSL certificate and “True Site” bundle. True BusinessID also offers a wildcard option to enable a single certificate to be used to secure multiple sub domains on the same server.

As well as offering hosting and Internet business services, InterSpace has also pioneered the TRANZILA system – a powerful payment processing platform capable of processing both Israeli and International credit cards and is capable of processing transactions instantly. The use of “fast” technology is a key feature for InterSpace offerings and with GeoTrust providing the industry’s fastest SSL issuance, QuickSSL Premium is a logical choice for the InterSpace product and service portfolio.
