Microsoft Internet Explorer - Download the Root Certificate

We use Digital Certificates to protect the information that you send us.  This means that when sending or receiving email, these can be encrypted to protect the content from prying eyes and can be digitally signed to authenticate the content.  When using a protected website, the moment you see the padlock ielock.gif (909 bytes) icon on the bottom of your browser, the connection is encrypted, and therefore confidential!   You can send over personal information like credit card, birth date, ... and no intruder will be able to read that information as it transits over the Internet.

In every case, the identity of the owners of certificates that we issue have been verified, subject to a carefully managed and audited process, so you can be sure that the owners of the certificate are who they say they are.  If you want to verify the identity of the organisation behind the web site, or the person behind the email address, just click on the padlock to reveal this!

To make sure that your browser can work with our digital certificates, the root certificate should be installed.  There is no danger in doing this, and no programs will be downloaded to your computer.  This only has to be done once in the lifetime of your browser!  To be sure it has been done, just follow the simple instructions below:
