COMODO - Comodo 2048-bit Certificates Most Trusted in the Industry

Comodo is the aggregation to beat in the 2048-bit era of certificates

Jersey City, NJ, July 21, 2009 - "Comodo's 2048-bit agenda certificates are now the a lot of trusted on the market," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO of Comodo. "We've angry the tables. Comodo's 2048-bit basis is now added ubiquitous, even than Verisign's. And, Comodo's 2048-bit certificates accomplish with above browsers, even if our competition's do not."

Digital certificates accommodate two factors to body assurance online: the backbone of the encryption and the beheld affirmation of authentication. Stronger encryption enhances aegis because it's harder to break. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a federal agency aural the U.S. Department of Commerce, recommends that website owners advancement to 2048-bit agenda certificates. (2007 NIST standards)

"But for a 2048-bit key breadth to accomplish seamlessly aural an Internet browser, the Certificate Authority have to cover the "root key" aural the browser. Certificate Authorities accommodate Internet browsers with their basis keys. If a basis key is not available, the browser sends a admonishing bulletin to the user. The admonishing bulletin makes it appear that either the user, or whoever he or she is communicating with, has done something wrong."

"Comodo advancing the charge for best basis keys at the alpha of the millennium," said Abdulhayoglu. "We congenital the 2048-bit basis key into browsers if actual few added Certificate Authorities were accomplishing so. The advantage now , is that even Internet users with actual old browsers can use Comodo 2048-bit certificates with no absurdity messages. We're appreciative of that ubiquity."

A basis key included in as abounding browsers as accessible is accepted as "ubiquitous." A agenda affidavit generated with that basis key accord the smoothest accessible achievement to its user.

This is abnormally important in e-commerce. Merchants who use the Extended Validation (EV) SSL affidavit have to apply 2048-bit cryptography by the end of 2010, as allowable by the CA/B Forum. Many merchants already use the stronger encryption.

Browsers change. Generally, newer versions of browsers collaborate seamlessly with all the agenda certificates accessible to their predecessors. Very infrequently, however, the browser fails to admit agenda certificates. When that happens, it sends alarming admonishing letters to the user, acerbic the user's trust.

A contempo archetype of such abrasion of assurance occurred if Firefox 3.5 bootless to admit EV SSL certificates from abounding of Comodo's competitors. Instead of seeing the blooming abode bar acceptable by the EV status, Firefox displayed a abject bar, connoting accustomed encryption. "Firefox 3.5 users connected to see the absolute assurance of the blooming abode bar from Comodo EV SSL certificates," Abdulhayoglu said.

Comodo issues added high-assurance agenda certificates than any added brand, alms and acknowledging a abounding accompaniment of 2048-bit certificates, including anachronous browser versions. The advantage of such near-ubiquity is that it enables added Internet users to adore the aegis advantages of 2048-bit key lengths.

When acclimation or re-ordering agenda certificates through Comodo or a Comodo reseller, barter may appeal 2048-bit key lengths in their affidavit signing requests.

"Comodo led the industry in anticipating the charge for best key lengths, by including the all-important basis decidedly afore the added Certificate Authorities did. Even today, not all affidavit authorities action 2048-bit encryption. At Comodo, we apperceive that online assurance dynamics accept changed. We action 2048-bit encryption, and it costs no extra," said Abdulhayoglu. "You just accept to apperceive to ask for it."

"Comodo's 2048-bit certificates accommodate able aegis for years to come. But what makes them added trusted today is the aggregate of a near-ubiquitous basis key and bland operation with above browsers, such as Firefox 3.5."

"This is one archetype of how Comodo is creating assurance online."
