Why the digital certificate is important

Customers are complaining that when they use your web site to buy your product the "lock sign" does not appear. You believe it is important that the company get a valid digital certificate to authenticate your SSL application. Research the various certificate authorities and select one based on acceptance by all the browsers, the organization's reputation in the field, and the annual cost (not necessarily the lowest).

Write a memo to the CIO explaining why the digital certificate is important, which certificate provider you are recommending, and the annual cost. Attach a chart showing a comparison of at least 3 certificate providers.
