If you have an older version of one of these browsers, you may encounter a dialog box saying "Certificate Authority is expired" when you access one of our secure sites.

This is not a Y2K or AUL problem. To find out more from Verisign, Inc., visit "The Facts on Root CA Certificate Rollover" and "FAQs on Root CA Certificate Rollover."
