Third party [certificate authority/certification authorities (CA)] is the one who is issuing digital certificate in order to provide verification that your website does practically represent your company. The most famous 3rd party certification programme in Malaysia is provided by the MSC Trustgate.com Sdn Bhd, which is appointed as Asia's first VeriSign Authorised Training Centre.


In Malaysia, there are some applications of third party certification programme are:

VeriSign is also the leading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) Certificate Authority which enables a secure e-commerce transaction, communications, and interactions for Web sites, intranets, and extranets.

SSL uses private key, published by VeriSign CA, to encrypt sensitive information during online transactions.Then, a Certificate Authority verifies the identity of the certificate owner when it is issued.

The benefits of VeriSign SSL Certificate are:
