SSL Certificate

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) server certificate is a digital certificate that is used to verify the identity of the web site that is connected and used to encrypt the data exchanged to and from the server.

SSL certificates are used to verify the servers that are connected over the internet or any network by the users. If the user who connects the server also possesses an electronic certificate, it is possible to verify the identity of the user as well. During this type of a connection, a secure tunnel is formed between the client and the server and the exchanged data is encrypted. SSL certificates are mainly used on web servers for providing connection security. Banking sector, e-commerce and e-government applications are the most frequently used areas of SSL certificates.

TURKTRUST SSL certificates are supplied with 1-year and 2-year options.

An automatic e-mail notice is sent to the organizational representative one month before the expiry date of the SSL. Besides, our clients are also informed about renewal steps by phone.

According to the international standards that we comply with, validity periods of SSL certificates cannot be changed or the contents of the SSL certificates cannot be modified after issuance. In case of a similar request, a new SSL certificate should be issued.

Upon receiving the complete application and payment information, SSL registration operations are performed within the same day. In the next step, when the certificate request file (i.e. CSR) is formed by you on your server and sent to TURKTRUST system, your SSL certificate is issued within the same day or the next day at the latest.

Detailed help pages are found under the “Help” menu of our web site about CSR generation, SSL certificate installation and sub-root (intermediate) certificate installation for all widely used server types.

Nowadays, security has become the most important issue for digital technologies that improve very fast. Under these circumstances, DV SSL (Domain Validated SSL) certificates that can be issued easily and with low costs but without any organizational validation may introduce security vulnerabilities for both the users and the organizations. As DV SSL certificates can be issued within minutes by only domain verification and with no organizational validation steps, their usage is not recommended for critical and sensitive data transfer operations.

Usage of organizationally validated OV SSL certificates for critical network connections, where invaluable information exchange regarding your organization and your clients occur, will substantially increase your security. An OV SSL (Organization Validated SSL) certificate verifies the identity of the server, and hence ensures the correct web site is connected by the user.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) server certificate is a digital certificate that is used to verify the identity of the web site that is connected and used to encrypt the data exchanged to and from the server.

Due to the need of using more than one server names under the same SSL certificate, over time “Wildcard” and “SAN” SSL certificate alternatives have emerged.
