Symantec's Website Security Solutions Group -- formerly VeriSign -- today announced that it will begin offering multiple encryption options, with support for the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) algorithm and Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) in its certificates in addition to standard RSA encryption.
The goal is for stronger encryption options for digital certs as well as better performance options for server environments that can't handle larger key sizes, according to Symantec. The new offerings give SSL customers the option of running either RSA, DSA, or ECC encryption in a cert, or multiple certificates for each encryption type to beef up website security, according to Symantec.
