Certificate Brands and Models
Tencent Cloud provides the following brands of SSL certificates for sale:
Certificate Brand | Description |
SecureSite | SecureSite is the world's largest information security service provider and most reputable certificate authority. It provides a wide spectrum of content and network security solutions to individuals, businesses, and service providers. 93% of Fortune Global 500 companies choose VeriSign SSL digital certificates.

GeoTrust was founded in 2001, and by 2006, it accounted for 25% of the global market. VeriSign acquired GeoTrust for 125 million USD in May-September 2006, and is now another cost-effective SSL certificate brand under SecureSite. |
TrustAsia | TrustAsia, a brand under Yashu Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd in the field of information security, is a SecureSite platinum partner.

Brand Differences
The certificates of different brands vary depending on the browser address bar, encryption level, and the level guaranteed compensation. The most important difference lies in their root certificates as follows:
A TrustAsia wildcard certificate is issued using a Sectigo root certificate. Serving more than 150 countries/regions, Sectigo is a world-leading CA with a long history. It also supports OCSP nodes in the Chinese mainland with faster response.
A GeoTrust wildcard certificate is issued using a GeoTrust root certificate, a SecureSite wildcard certificate using a SecureSite root certificate, and a DigiCert wildcard certificate using a DigiCert root certificate.
A GlobalSign wildcard certificate is issued using a GlobalSign root certificate, a DNSPod certificate using a WoTrus root certificate, and a WoTrus wildcard certificate using a Sectigo root certificate.
From a technical point of view, the differences between SecureSite (former VeriSign) and GeoTrust are as follows:
Compatibility: SecureSite outperforms GeoTrust. SecureSite is compatible with all browsers commercially available and many mobile devices.
OCSP response speed: SecureSite outperforms GeoTrust.
CA security: SecureSite outperforms GeoTrust. As an internationally renowned security vendor, SecureSite provides the best CA security in the world.
Data security: In addition to encrypted data transmission, SecureSite certificates provide malware scanning and vulnerability assessment.
Commercial insurance compensation for certificate: SecureSite (up to 1.75 million USD) outperforms GeoTrust (up to 1.5 million USD).
