WildCard SSL Certificates from GlobalSign
Making the World a Safer Place to Shop!
A single SSL Certificate to secure unlimited subdomains.
Save time, administration and money by adding the Wildcard SSL option. Typically a standard SSL Certificate is issued to a single Fully Qualified Domain Name only, which means it can only be used on the exact domain (including sub-domain) to which it has been issued. With the Wildcard SSL option activated you easily get around this restriction by receiving an SSL Certificate issued to *.domain.com.
The * character allows the Certificate to be used on any number of different subdomains, replacing the usual single fixed subdomain of standard SSL Certificates.
How does it work?
It's simple - we issue a Certificate with a "Common Name" of *.yourdomain.com. This "Wildcard" SSL Certificate can then be used on any subdomain belonging to the yourdomain.com domain name. For example, a Certificate application for:
*.yourdomain.com
examples: can be used to secure...
www.yourdomain.com
secure.yourdomain.com
webmail.yourdomain.com
owa.yourdomain.com
anything.yourdomain.com

WildCard Validation SSL Features
- Available as optional feature for DomainSSL and OrganizationSSL
- 2048 bit future proof SSL Certificates
- THE STRONGEST ROOT CERTIFICATE AVAILABLE TODAY 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 provides 2048 bit strength across the entire Digital Certificate portfolio.
- SGC security for minimum 128 bit to 256 bit SSL encryption levels
- 256 bit ENABLED (128 bit min) SSL SECURED TRANSACTIONS - FREE OF CHARGE UPGRADE GlobalSign SSL Certificates include SGC technology that forces a weaker 40 bit SSL session to at least 128 bit, and in most cases now 256 bit. 128-256 bit SSL sessions are trillions times stronger than 40 bit and allow all site visitors, no matter where they are in the world to benefit from stronger encryption levels. Few SSL Providers have the capability of offering SGC, and for those that do, SGC is often added as "pro" services and carries a premium price. Every GlobalSign SSL Certificate is capable of 256 bit strong SSL, and includes step-up SGC technology that forces weak browsers to stronger browsers free of charge.
