<paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_idN10640" role="paragraph" l10n="NEW">You can get a certificate from a certification authority, which may be a private company or a governmental institution. Some certification authorities want money for their service, for example when they certify your identity. Other certificates are free of costs, for example those offered by some e-mail providers, which certify your e-mail address. A few of the companies that offer certificates to private persons are listed in the following, in alphabetical order: <link href="http://www.globalsign.net">GlobalSign</link> , <link href="http://www.thawte.com">Thawte</link>, <link href="http://www.verisign.com">Verisign</link>.</paragraph>
