| What
is SSL? |
Secure
Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard
security technology for creating an
encrypted link between a web server
and a browser. This link ensures that
all data passed between the web server
and browser remain private and integral.
SSL is an industry standard and is
used by millions of websites in the
protection of their online transactions
with their customers. In order to
be able to generate an SSL link, a
web server requires an SSL Certificate.
Our InstantSSL is such a Certificate,
and when installed, can be used to
create secure links to protect transactions,
passwords, personal details, etc. |

| Why
does getting an InstantSSL Certificate
through ICS cost considerably less than
other Certification Authorities? |
Our
network partner has direct access
to the IdAuthority, the largest commercial
directory on the web. They can therefore
expedite the validation of an application.
This efficient and highly effective
validation method ensures we can issue
a Certificate at a greatly reduced
cost as reflected through our guaranteed
lowest price in the industry as well
as maintain a level of validation
far superior to the methods employed
by other SSL providers. In particular,
the validation process employed to
issue any of our certificates is considerably
more than just a domain name ownership
check - we firmly believe this method
alone to be insufficient to maintain
the level of integrity in SSL that
consumers have come to expect. |
|
| Will
the InstantSSL Certificates work correctly
with my customer's browsers? |
In
order for your customer's browser
to seamlessly use an InstantSSL Certificate,
they must trust our 'Root Certificate'.
Our Root (provided by Baltimore Technologies)
is trusted by over 99% of all current
browsers, comprising all Internet
Explorer 5.00 and above, Netscape
4x and above and AOL 5 and above and
comes pre-installed with all Windows
98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP operating systems. This
browser compatibility makes our InstantSSL
as trusted as Verisign and Thawte. |

| I
want an increased Warranty on my InstantSSL
Certificate - how can I get this? |
If
you require an increased warranty
on your SSL Certificate, choose from
the InstantSSL Pro or PremiumSSL Certificates
option. This provides a greatly increased
warranty of $2500 and $10,000 respectively. |
|
| |
| How
long does it take to process my application? |
Provided
we have sufficient validation information
available through the IdAuthority,
your InstantSSL, InstantSSL Pro or
PremiumSSL can be issued in only minutes.
If additional verification processes
must be used to validate your application,
the issuance process may take slightly
longer. In such cases we guarantee
that the Certificate is issued within
2 working days. |
|
| |
| Which
version of the SSL protocol are your
InstantSSL certificates compatible with? |
ICS
InstantSSL certificates are compatible
with any browsers and webservers using
SSL version 3 - the de facto SSL implementation.
SSL version 1 and version 2 have been
superseded by version 3 for a number
of years, mainly due to the inherent
security flaws found in these old
versions. All web browsers developed
after Internet Explorer 3 and Netscape
3 use SSL version 3 (however still
support older SSL protocol versions).
If your webserver is only capable
of supporting versions 1 and 2 of
the SSL protocol we strongly recommend
you contact your webserver software
vendor for an update - these protocols
are flawed. |
