With the news of this acquisition, consumers, organizations and regulators can soonexpect more SSL certificates to provide critical identity assurance for websites,thus creating trust online. Since most GeoTrust certificates are currently domainvalidated only without any business authentication, they significantly undermine theefficacy of the padlock icon as a trust indicator. In contrast, Comodo provides abalanced portfolio of SSL certificates solutions, all of which provide the means toestablish critical identity assurance. Our SSL certificate solutions scale to meetthe needs of businesses of all sizes and include:
Enterprise SSL Â a high volume, enterprise class solution that provides high levelsecurity with management tools for ease of use;
Instant SSL Â the eCommerce SSL certificate that provides highly secured encryptionwith full business validation; and
Positive SSL Â domain validated SSL with optional free business verification inIdAuthority, one of the worldÂ's largest online directories of authenticatedebusinesses managed by Comodo.
ComodoÂ's focus is Identity and Trust Assurance (ITA) and has been a core businessdriver since ComodoÂ's inception as a Certification Authority in 2001. As a result ofthis focus, Comodo has innovated with new technologies (e.g. patented web contentverification for site assurance) and free consumer security tools to expand the poolof confident online consumers. In addition, Comodo led the establishment of the CABForum  a consortium of the major browser providers and leading CertificationAuthorities for developing guidelines that will drive future SSL certificationpractices.
 As a leading CA, Comodo has been aggressively pushing to strengthen identityassurance certification on the Internet, said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and ChiefSecurity Architect of Comodo.  We have invested significantly in authenticationprocesses and technologies for every SSL certificate under the Comodo brand.
