Instant issuance of certificates without prevalidation using Symantec’s Ready Issuance

Symantec is shortly to launch its Ready Issuance process, a much more effective authentication method,  for the purchase of SSL certificates.

Using the Ready Issuance scheme, companies will only need to complete the verification process once in every 39 months which not only saves time but also greatly simplifies  the issuance procedure.

Clients will have to complete the authentication process just once, they then specify the domain name (or several names), and finally supply information about their organisation and their contacts. This information will be used for the immediate release of Symantec OV-certificates in accordance with the Symantec  authentication procedure

Advantages of Ready Issuance:

• Authentication Efficiency: Once the client has completed  the authentication process, they  can immediately take advantage of the Ready Issuance process.

• Instantly Issue Certificates: Clients  can immediately order  new certificates once  they have completed  the authentication process. This saves time and eliminates  unnecessary problems in the certificate buying procedure.

• Search and Modify: With Ready Issuance clients  can query the status of authentication orders and cancel or modify the order.

Who will benefit from the Ready Issuance process?

• Organisations that require 5 or more SSL-certificates

• Organisations that have multiple domains (.com, .net, .gov)

• Organisations that represent global brands (.co, .uk, .nl, .br)

Key features of Ready Issuance:

• Authentication   to the OV standard

• Ability to add multiple domains and contact details to request authentication

• Instant issuance of new certificates and renewing certificates for clients

• Quick search and change authentication orders
