Thawte is a Certification Authority which was launched in South Africa in 1995 and was founded by Mark Shuttleworth. Thawte has since been acquired by Verisign in 2000. For many years, Thawte SSL issues certificates and has also been a pioneer in this field since it is Thawte who was the first organization to issue SSL certificates to third parties outside the United States. The company remains an important player and currently represents nearly one million SSL certificates issued in more than 250 countries.
