VeriSign Extends SSL Security to Internationalized Domain Names

Mountain View, Calif. – August 18, 2008 – Seven of every 10 people in the world don’t speak English, but that isn’t keeping them from using the Internet. Now, domain name registrants and Web site operators not only can reach users in their own language – they can also protect their sites with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates from VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world.

VeriSign today announced that its SSL Certificates will now support Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). IDNs display Web site addresses in local language characters, such as Sinitic characters used in China, Kanji symbols from Japan, and Cyrillic characters in Russia.
