Oregon State University - Network Engineering - Thawte SSL Certificates

Thawte SSL Certificates


What is Thawte? What is an SSL Certificate?

THAWTE is one of the Internet Certificate Authorities that is trusted by Mozilla, Netscape and Internet Explorer web browsers, without any custom configuration by the user or administrator.

An SSL certificate is proof from an independent third party that your website belongs to the organization it says it does, and that your users may securely and safely submit private information there.

What does it cost?

In order to help administrators secure their web sites, at a reasonable cost, Oregon State University has arranged a significant discount on certificates issued by THAWTE.

Standard web cert - New $186.75
Standard web cert - Renewal $109.45
128 bit Super cert - New $657.06
128 bit Super cert - Renewal $448.84

NOTE: Standard web certificates support up to 128 bit encryption. Super-certificates allow 128 bit encryption for older foreign web browsers that do not support it. However, since the US government is now allowing export of software with 128 bit encryption, most web browsers today support it, and a super-certificate is usually not needed.
