What is the Thawte Trusted Site Seal?
The Thawte Trusted Site Seal is a small graphic, suitable for displaying on a website as a visible signal that the site is using a Thawte digital certificate to secure data transmitted between its visitors’ browsers and its server(s). The graphic itself shows the wording “Secured by thawte”, a padlock, and the current date — showing that the certificate to which it refers is valid as of today’s date. A click on the graphic produces a pop-up window showing details about the certificate; the dates between which it is valid, the server name to which it was issued and (in the case of a fully-authenticated certificate) the organisation to which the certificate was issued.
