SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) SSL certificates from SSL247 - aka ‘step up’ encryption

SGC home

SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) SSL certificates, or “step up” encryption is technology that forces old, weak browsers to connect at strong encryption levels.

Get the most from older browsers with 128 bit "step-up" SGC SSL certificates from SSL247.

You need SGC-enabled SSL, if...

  • ...you accept credit card, debit card, purchase card or electronic online payments.
  • ...your employees or customers have network access to confidential bank or brokerage account information.
  • ...you transmit health care records electronically.
  • ...you must meet privacy and security standards as a government agency.
  • ...you share insurance claim information with business partners.
  • ...your reputation depends on the privacy and integrity of your information.

All our GlobalSign certificates come with SGC, as do both VeriSign SecureSite Pro and SecureSite PRO with EV.

Over a Trillion Times a Trillion Times Stronger.
When an SSL handshake occurs between a client and server, a level of encryption is determined by the browser, the client computer operating system, and the SSL Certificate. High-level encryption, at 128 bits, can calculate 288 times as many combinations as 40-bit encryption. That’s over a trillion times a trillion times stronger. A hacker with the time, tools, and motivation to crack 40-bit encryption would require a trillion years to break into a session protected by an SGC-enabled certificate.

128-Bit SSL Certificates.
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) enables 256-bit encryption, much stronger than 128-bit. If your server operating system and your site visitor’s browser support 256-bit encryption, then all VeriSign and GlobalSign SSL Certificates from us deliver this higher level of protection.

When Browsers Fail to Step Up to Strong Encryption.
Even though an SSL Certificate is capable of 128-bit or 256-bit encryption, millions still use older computer systems that are incapable of strong encryption. These legacy browsers and operating systems fail to step up to strong encryption without an SGC-enabled SSL Certificate:

  • Certain Internet Explorer browser versions from 4.01 to 5.01.
  • Certain Netscape browser versions from 4.07 to 4.72.
  • Many Windows 2000 systems using Internet Explorer.
  • Internet Explorer browser versions prior to 3.02 and Netscape browser versions prior to 4.02 are not capable of 128-bit encryption with any SSL Certificate.

Protect Customers with the Strongest Possible Encryption.
Because Web site visitors cannot easily determine the encryption strength of a given session, they depend on the site owner to protect them. True 128-Bit SSL Certificates enable every site visitor to experience the strongest SSL encryption available to them. SSL247 is the leading SSL provider of SGC-enabled SSL Certificates from VeriSign and GlobalSign, enabling 128- or 256-bit encryption to over 99.9% of Web site visitors at under retail price.
