Non-SGC SSL certificates enable encrypted sessions of 40 bit and up to 256 bit. Site visitors using certain older browsers and many Windows 2000 systems using Internet Explorer will only receive 40 or 56 bit encryption unless they are connecting to an SGC-enabled certificate. Our SGC-enabled SSL certificates are enabling in minimum 128 bit or 256 bit encryption for over 99.3% of Internet users.
