SPKI/Managed Multiple Certs
[ Manage multiple certificates for your organization ]

How does it work?



  1. Acceptance into the program is based on pre-approval. You enroll online for the thawte SPKI Program by submitting all your company, domain and contact details to us for a vetting process. These are the details your certificates will contain.
  2. Once we have validated all your details using the highly trusted thawte authentication and verification process, your account is approved and you will be able to issue certificates to all the domains validated in your account without any further interaction with thawte.
  3. You administer your account from your desktop with a standard web browser. Along with being able to manage SGC SuperCert, SSL Web Server, and Code Signing certificates and, you will be able to add security personnel to assist with certificate management.
  4. Security personnel can be allocated to 3 different levels, defining their rights to account and certificate life-cycle management:
    • Chief Security Officer (CSO) – access to all account and certificate life-cycle management functionality
    • Security Officer (SO) – access to all life-cycle management functionality
    • Technical Officer (TO) - can buy tokens and request certificates but cannot approve and issue. Issuance has to be made by the CSO or SO
  5. Through this interface, you can also manage your organizational structure by adding new companies and departments as well as requesting approval for new domains as the need arises.
  6. To allow you to issue certificates at your convenience and at bulk discounts, you will buy certificate credits (tokens) which are type and process specific. Methods of payment are credit card, cheque, bank transfer and 30 day purchase orders.
