GlobalSign

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GlobalSign is a WebTrust certified certificate authority that provides publicly trusted X.509 compliant SSL, including the new EV SSL Extended Validation Certificate, S/MIME and code signing certificates for use on all popular platforms including Mobile. Other services include a Trusted Root Store PKI CA chaining program, which allows the widely distributed and highly trusted GlobalSign root CA certificates to provide immediate trust for Microsoft CA and other inhouse CA users. These solutions enable end users to conduct secure online transactions and data submission, providing tamper-proof distributable code as well as to bind identities to client certificates for email security and remote two factor authentication, such as SSL VPN. GlobalSign also provides certificates for signing Adobe Systems PDF documents with their DocumentSign product.
