[BNM] SSL Certificates

[Ali]

I generally do not use SSL for most things I work on but a new client is
requesting SSL for all pages on their authenticated sessions. 

 

So whilst looking at the options I found an SSL certificate from
godaddy.com[1] at just under £10 – can anyone tell my why I should pay
Thawte or Verisign a couple of hundred pounds for the same thing? 

 

And also, does anyone have opinions on whether or not it should be
considered good practice to use SSL on authenticated sessions that do not
involve any financial transactions or commercially sensitive information –
i.e. mainly to protect the user account data?
