The Server Certificate Service (SCS) aims to provide low-cost 'pop-up
free' server certificates 18 National Research and Education Networks (NRENs)
and the 2,225 organizations they serve.
The certificates will address the NRENs' 'pop-up' problem. A message
saying “the issuer of this certificate is not trusted” pops up on a computer
when the server uses certificates issued by a Certificate Authority
unfamiliar to the browser. Popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer
and Mozilla Firefox do recognize Comodo's digital certificates, so the
'pop-up' messages do not occur.
TERENA's role is made possible by the collaboration of network engineers
and managers, who support joint European work in developing, evaluating,
testing, integrating and promoting new networking, middleware and
application technologies through the TERENA Technical Programme.
As a Certificate Authority, COMODO is the second-largest issuer of
business-validated digital certificates. More information about the Server
Certificate Service and the Call for Proposals is available on the TERENA
website at
