SSL Certificates and Mobile Devices

More and more consumers are using mobile devices for browsing and using email clients daily. If you intend to offer secure servies to mobile devices ensure that your SSL Certificate is compatible with these browsers to give your customers the best experience and security.

SSLStar highly recommends the use of SSL123 as this certificate covers a wider range of mobile devices over other SSL Certificates. The following SSL Certificates support use with mobile devices, these certificates include mobile ubiquity/compatibility.

Thawte - SSL 123 (Highly Recommended)
Thawte - SSL Web Server
GeoTrust - QuickSSL Premium
GeoTrust - True BusinessID
Verisign - Secure Site
Verisign - Secure Site Pro

Wildcard SSL Certificates will function with most mobile devices, however the asterix in the Common Name (CN) of the SSL Certificate is not understood by most mobile devices. This could possibly display an error message, for this reason we do not recommend using a wildcard SSL Certificate with mobile devices.
