More on the Symantec purchase of VeriSign Security
Two exciting things have happened today. The Queen drove past the office and Symantec announced it's purchase of VeriSign Security. I am guessing you are interested in what the Symantec/VeriSign deal means to ServerTastic and the SSL market place.
So far the info I have is that it is business as usual. The certificates will still be issued as normal. The only real nugget of information is from theSymantec press release which states
Following the close of the transaction, Symantec plans to incorporate the VeriSign check mark into a new Symantec logo to convey to users that it is safe to communicate, transact commerce and exchange information online.
However the purchase also includes the rights to the VeriSign check mark. As this is so universally recognised I would imagine/hope that this remains in some form in any redesign.
Symantec have also launched a VeriSign themed website. The yellow circle with tick indicates what could be to come but that is my pure speculation.
It is an interesting development in the internet security webspace. VeriSign are left with the highly profitable domain registry for .net and .com while Symantec are moving into providing the whole suite of validation and security services.
So to clarify at present it is business as usual. You can still purchase VeriSign, Geotrust, RapidSSL and thawte certificates from ServerTastic.
