GeoTrust SSL Certificates

SSL certificates are most commonly deployed for securing transmission of financial information in ecommerce. However, with incidence of identity theft on the rise, protecting the transmission of a broad range of personally-identifiable information is becoming ever more important. This category of data would include identity and social security numbers, e-mail addresses and demographic information as well as account registration and login information.

In terms of applications and protocols, SSL Certificates can be used to secure the following:

• Web Servers
• Mail Servers
• Databases
• FTP Sites
• Internet Chat
• NNTP

The MD Media Consulting range of GeoTrust certificates is all about providing you with fast delivery and value-for-money. For more advanced offerings, you might want to view our VeriSign certificates.
