SSL logo

[Squirrel]

Anyone have a SSL logo to show you are a secure site please?

Been scratching around found http://www.aota.net/E-Commerce/TvsV.php4 Who provided the cert for FQ's shared secure system please?

The MerchantQuest WildCard CERT was obtained from GeoTrust, Inc:
http://www.geotrust.com

We were using Thawte WildCard CERTs until their recent change to a 'per domain' licensing scheme which was ludicrous at best...

Thanks Terra,
Is there somewhere we can get a copy of the logo please?

[Terra]

Which logo are you referring to?

Ok let me try to explain better. I have a site with a shared secure server with FQ. I am trying to put a small logo to add credibility like this one for example:-

http://www.apache-ssl.org/apache_ssl_button.gif

I would like to do this with the correct logo.

We did some checking on that and the only thing that we could find for GeoTrust was:
http://www.geotrust.com/true_site/install.htm

However, this will not work for the WildCard CERTS due to the nature in how they work... When you get a true CERT, it has been authenticated that:
https://secure.example.com

really does belong to:
Example, Inc.

The nature of WildCard CERTS is not necessarily to guarantee authenticity of the owner, but merely as the mechanism for your visitors to connect to your site via SSL encrypted communication...

Maybe GeoTrust has a more generic logo, but I've yet to find one...

I believe that the logo that you have already found should suffice for your needs as we do in fact operate our Secure servers via: Apache and mod_ssl
