Global Sign
GlobalSign is a WebTrust certified certificate authority that provides publicly trusted X.509 compliant SSL, including the new EV SSL Extended Validation Certificate, S/MIME and code signing certificates for use on all popular platforms including Mobile. Other services include a Trusted Root Certificate Authority chaining program for trusted PKI deployments, which allows the widely distributed and trusted GlobalSign root CA certificates to cryptographically chain subordinate root CAs for use in Microsoft CA and other in-house CAs. Such chaining allows these non-commercial CAs to control their own internal PKI, typically issuing SSL and digital IDs for secure email and two factor authentication. These solutions enable end-users to conduct secure online transactions and data submission, providing tamper-proof distributable code as well as to bind identities to client certificates for email security and remote two factor authentication, such as SSL VPN. GlobalSign has introduced digital certificates for signing Adobe Systems PDF documents and also Microsoft Office documents and VBA Macros
The company is a subsidiary of GMO CLOUD K.K.

Famous quotes containing the words global and/or sign:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
