BROWSERS' SSL COMPATIBILITY

The purpose of this chart is to help you select the certificate which matches your technical needs. Independently of price or brand!

The red cells mean that the Certification Authority is not recognized by the browser.
The green cells mean the authority is recognized by the browser and setup a native level cipherment (see column 3) unless otherwise specified.
The white cells mean that the behavior is specific or unknown.

*: IE 5.01 with Windows 2000 requires service pack 1 or above to recognise Wildcard or OmniDomaine certificates, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;258858.

**: Prior 6 April 2005 the root used was Thawte Server CA.

***: CA recognized by the browser but does not support Multiple Domains (several CN fields).

(4) : Thawte Wildcard certificates are not recognized by Internet Explorer with Windows 95 & 98 (see faq)
