This site is a registered, authentic site using Thawte SSL ("Secure Socket Layer") Web Server Technology. This site has been issued an authentic Certificate which enables use to offer secure communications by encrypting all data to and from this site. This means, that if any other Internet user intercepts the communcation he/she will only be able to see it in an encrypted ("garbled") form. This Certificate technology allows us to decrypt the information, and view it in a plain text form. Thawte has checked and verified our company's registration documents and this site's registered domain name. This information is included in the SSL certificate that has been enclusively issued to our site.

This enables you, the user, to check the site's validity yourself. In this regard, you should always check a site's certificate before entering any sensitive information. Bwloe are the details for VIKRAM BADRINATH, P.C.'s Certificate.

Why use Server Certificates? What does a SSL web server do?

When you connect to a secure web server such as https://www.vkblaw.com/h1bcap/question4.htm you ask that server to authenticate itself. This authentication is quite a complex process involving public keys, private keys and a digital certificate. The certificate tells you that an independent third party has agreed that the server belongs to the company it claims to belong to. A valid certificate means that you can have confidence that you are sending information to the right place.

What role does THAWTE play?

Thawte Consulting issues such certificates to organizations and individuals world-wide. THAWTE is the only CA that has representatives across the globe: in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Australia and many other countries. Our certificates interoperate smoothly with the latest software from Microsoft and Netscape, so the user can rest assured that data information and use of a Thawte Server Certificate will provide unequalled confidence and superiority in data encryption and system security.
