Can I use the Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) facility (aka Verisign Global ID) also with mod_ssl?

The step up of the clients are then automatically handled by mod_ssl under run-time. For details please read the README.GlobalID document in the mod_ssl distribution.

What is Server Gated Cryptography (SGC)?

SSL Certificate FAQs - SSL and HTTPS Basics
U.S. government restrictions on U.S. vendors prevented the export of "strong" cryptography several years ago. As a result, many people purchased computers or downloaded export version browsers supporting only 40- or 56-bit SSL encryption. Microsoft developed "Server Gated Cryptography" ("SGC") and Netscape developed "step-up" technology to enable 128-bit SSL encryption with export versions of browsers.

Why do browsers complain that they cannot verify my Verisign Global ID server certificate?

SSL/TLS Strong Encryption: FAQ - Apache HTTP Server
Verisign uses an intermediate CA certificate between the root CA certificate (which is installed in the browsers) and the server certificate (which you installed on the server). You should have received this additional CA certificate from Verisign. If not, complain to them. Then, configure this certificate with the SSLCertificateChainFile directive. This ensures that the intermediate CA certificate is sent to the browser, filling the gap in the certificate chain.

How do I use the SSL server for my order form?

Normally, any text(such as your credit card number) sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text. This means that a hacker could potentially intercept(however unlikely) the information sent from your browser and read it. However, by using the secure server, the information is encrypted before it is sent from your browser. It would be practically impossible for anyone to decrypt it without knowing the key. Use the following url to access your pages via the secure server.

E-Commerce Solutions Consultants, LLC - The Total Internet S...
When you connect to a secure web server such as https://www.ssl.com you ask that server to authenticate itself. This authentication is quite a complex process involving public keys, private keys and a digital certificate. The certificate tells you that an independent third party has agreed that the server belongs to the company it claims to belong to. A valid certificate means that you can have confidence that you are sending information to the right place.
