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.
