Wide Range of Products and Services
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) digital certificates are electronic files that are used to identify people and resources over networks such as the Internet. Digital certificates also enable secure, confidential communication between two parties using encryption.
- Certificates are issued by a Certification Authority (CA). Much like the role of a passport office, the CA validates the certificate holder’s identity and “signs” the certificate so that it cannot be tampered with or altered.
- Entrust offers a wide range of SSL and digital certificates to meet every security need.
Entrust Service Excellence
- WebTrust Seal - Entrust was the first certification authority (CA) in the world to earn the WebTrust for Certification Authorities (CAs) Seal of Assurance from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA). A WebTrust Seal provides you the assurance and confidence in the security of a public key infrastructure (PKI).
- Better Browser Trust - Entrust TLS/SSL digital certificates are trusted by more than 99 percent of all Web browsers in use today. From Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and the top mobile platforms, you can be sure Entrust TLS/SSL certificates are secure, trusted and interoperable.
- Get your SSL certificates from the best - A TLS/SSL site seal is much more than a fancy badge that websites display on their home page. The seals are actually used to verify the legitimacy of a site’s TLS/SSL certificate in real-time. You can check a TLS/SSL certificates authenticity, expiration date, certification authority and more.
- The Art of TLS/ SSL best practices - Whether you’re new to SSL or possess years of experience with the technology, it never hurts to familiarize yourself with the security standard of the Internet. Entrust offers the best certificate management, website performance, and support tools on the market. We’ve compiled a collection of resources with useful information that will help you understand the technology — and even help you make important purchasing decisions.
Ease of Doing Business
- Entrust is one of the easiest Certificate Authorities to do business with. Our customers love our dedicated sales representatives, flexible policies and integrated suite of products.
Security
Entrust TLS/SSL Is Security
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) digital certificates are electronic files that are used to identify people and resources over networks such as the Internet. Digital certificates also enable secure, confidential communication between two parties using encryption.
- Certificates are issued by a Certification Authority (CA). Much like the role of a passport office, the CA validates the certificate holder’s identity and “signs” the certificate so that it cannot be tampered with or altered.
Cutting-Edge Encryption
- Your website’s security is our number one priority. That’s why Entrust certificates feature cutting-edge 256-bit encryption – the most secure encryption available – to secure your data. Entrust certificates support SHA-2 algorithms with ECC used in our root certificates, delivering the strongest security and increased performance.
Protect and Authenticate Identities in the Cloud
- The protection and authentication of digital identities is one of the key components in securing online transactions or communications. Entrust is diligent in ensuring we meet or exceed industry requirements for the issuance and management of publicly-trusted certificates and TLS/SSL Security. This added level of authentication makes it more difficult for your identity to be misused and your account compromised.
Safe Use of Wildcard Certificates
- Properly managed Wildcard Secure Socket Layer Certificates can provide increased flexibility for system administrators, but they come with increased risk. Entrust recommends using proper safeguards when deploying Wildcard certificates. Safe Use of multi-server digital certificates Properly managed, multi-server certificates can provide increased flexibility. However, they also decrease SSL Security and increase the probability of eavesdrop and impersonation attacks. Entrust recommends using proper safeguards when deploying multi-server certificates.

Best Practices
Trusted Security Focused On You
Vulnerabilities Heartbleed, POODLE, and FREAK have let the world at large know that our communications structures need better protection. There’s never been as much scrutiny of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Security Layer (TLS) protocols as there is today. And while scrutiny is good, it may be warranted elsewhere. Most attention is typically placed on the protocol’s vulnerabilities. But the fact that most organizations don’t realize that is, that it’s their own actions and improper deployment that are proving to be bigger challenges to the state of their security than inherent vulnerabilities in the protocols.
In many companies it seems that certificates are accounted for using some hard-to-maintain manual process, and that security breaches on secure servers are only flagged when there is wide public discovery. Security upgrades don’t seem to occur otherwise. And, we can’t say that system administrators are to blame. SSL/TLS is a deceptively simple technology. It’s not actually as easy to deploy correctly as it seems.
That’s why our SSL experts have put together Entrust’s SSL Best Practices resources, so we can help guide you to safer SSL/TLS deployment and keep you aware of all industry security news and upgrades that are available to you.
How Does TLS/SSL Work?
You’ve heard of SSL, but do you know how it actually works? If not, we’ve gathered a comprehensive primer on the history of the technology and how it’s used to secure and encrypt online transactions and communication.
TLS/SSL Service and Support
If you’re not yet well-versed in TLS/SSL or if our documents didn’t cover your specific problem, Entrust has technical support services that can help answer your questions and find what you’re looking for.
Extended Validation Is the New Web Standard
Green is good. And EV means green. Today’s web browsers display the corporate name with a green address bar for sites protected by an EV TLS/SSL certificate. That’s what makes EV TLS/SSL certificates a consumer favorite, they offer reassurance through the green bar and other visual cues in the un-modifiable parts of the browser that the site they are visiting is legitimate.
The Importance of Organizational Validation
TLS/SSL certificate providers employ different methods for verifying the identities of the organization or individual purchasing TLS/SSL certificates. Entrust thinks it’s important to understand the difference between verification types.
Protect and Authenticate Identities in the Cloud
The protection and authentication of digital identities is one of the key components in securing online transactions or communications. Entrust is diligent in ensuring we meet or exceed industry requirements for the issuance and management of publicly-trusted certificates. This added level of authentication makes it more difficult for your identity to be misused and your account compromised.
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Entrust provides innovative organizations the opportunity to deploy digital certificates using advanced ECC technology. Test your applications and services for compatibility with the advanced ECC standard.
Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC)
Migrating to SHA-2
Google is being proactive in strengthening the trust chains of the online community. In September 2014, the company announced that they will sunset SHA-1. This change, however, introduces necessary growing pains for global website operators. As with most aging cryptography, time is the enemy. Advances in computing power overcome cryptographic strength. In this case, SHA-1 has been determined to be weak against collision attacks.
