"Comodo congratulates President-Elect Barack Obama on his historic
achievement and honor," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security
Officer at Comodo, a global leader in Identity and Trust Assurance
Management solutions. "Comodo is proud to play its small part in securing
the President-Elect's website, as well as in the new transitional website,
change.gov."
Obama makes history in another way. His was the first candidacy with a
website secured by an SSL certificate from Comodo. In record amounts, Obama
supporters donated to his campaign online. The designers and host of Obama's
website, Blue State Digital, chose to use a Comodo digital certificate.
The President-Elect's new site, www.change.gov, also is also secured by a
Comodo digital certificate.
Comodo Digital certificates and Trust Logos enable secure the SSL (Transport
Layer Security) transmission between Web browsers and web servers, to ensure
that the user's interaction with the web site is free from eavesdroppers and
helps provide assurance that the web site is who it claims to be. This
security is important for electronic commerce where certificates secure
financial transactions and provide identity assurance to, in this case,
campaign donors.
"President-Elect Barrack Obama's decisions will affect American security,"
said Abdulhayoglu. "Everyone at Comodo joins in wishing him success."
