What is SGC?

Portal Home > Knowledgebase > Digital Certificates > What is SGC?


Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) was developed for legacy computers and browsers that only support 40 or 56-bit SSL encryption to "step up" to 128-bit SSL encryption. Without an SGC certificate, web browsers and operating systems that do not support 128-bit strong encryption will receive only 40- or 56-bit encryption.
