An internal server name is a domain or IP address that is part of a private network.

SHA-2 consists of a family of cryptographic hashing algorithms developed in part by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) to replace the aging SHA-1 hashing algorithm which may have mathematical weaknesses. GlobalSign, in our role as your security partner, supported the deprecation of SHA-1 and the transition to SHA-256, the most widely supported hashing algorithm within the SHA-2 family. This article defines the important milestones for the introduction of SHA-256 Certificates and the depreciation of SHA-1 Certificates.

ECC stands for Elliptic Curve Cryptography and is an alternative approach to public key cryptography over other standards such as RSA. Read our ECC article for more information.
