Industry-Standard SSL Security
CryptGuard's SSL Server Certificate services are competitively priced to promote widespread adoption of high-assurance security products in the global community. CryptGuard certificates are premium, industry-standard, X509v3 digital certificates, enabling high-grade, ultra-secure, 128-bit/256-bit-encryption‡ for non-commercial, commercial, corporate and enterprise use.

Unparalleled Licensing Terms
CryptGuard pushes the envelope by offering a broad range of multi-year license validity/expiry options for all Corporate/Enterprise SSL Server Certificates, including long-term 5-year and unprecedented 10-year periods. This benefits those users who wish to minimize the inherent security risks that can result from early certificate expiration.

Unrestricted Wildcards
CryptGuard offers true subdomain wildcard certificates - at a single, all-inclusive price, with no limits to the number of subdomains, eliminating extra per-subdomain and per-server fees, and no restrictions on the number of servers where the certificates can be installed - thus enabling businesses to fully leverage the intellectual property value from their registered domain name(s).

• CryptGuard thus empowers forward-thinking companies, issuing certificates that fit their technology implementation strategies. Businesses are therefore able to provide a more logical, constrained approach to their web and information-access infrastructure through the use of unrestricted sub-domain delegation.
  
• Conscientious companies that have instituted disaster planning policies designed to protect their web, email, and other critical business processes, or who have implemented emergency backup, system redundancy, and network load-balancing operations by establishing multiple servers for their own or their clients' protection, can significantly benefit from the features intrinsic to CryptGuard Domain Wildcard Server Certificates.
  

eCommerce Host Multi-Domain SSL Certificates
CryptGuard also offers multi-domain authentication/verification within a single SSL certificate. Utilizing the RFC-3280 X.509v3 certificate profile field, SubjectAltName, CryptGuard binds multiple alternate FQDN hostnames within a CryptGuard eCommerce MultiDomain Host Certificate.

The technical community understands the digital certificate market is something of a smoke-and-mirrors game where high-quality, full-strength encryption is provided by all 128-bit-capable SSL certificates. The bottom line is that one company's digital certificates are technologically the same as any other's, making cost-effectiveness a considerable factor in market competition.

CryptGuard adheres to the principle of fair value for services rendered, and we are demonstrating our commitment to this paradigm by offering digital code-signing certificates to all shareware, freeware, and open source software developers for a nominal, cost-recovery fee. We believe that our generous price point reflects our commitment to the fundamentals of the open source community.

CryptGuard breaks new ground by issuing certificates in multiple file formats (delivered in a single zipped file download) for all types of codesigning. CryptGuard further leads the market by offering a broad range of multi-year validity/expiry terms with all our licenses, and is the only Certification Authority currently offering a 5-year code-signing digital certificate.
