We are evaluating whether to buy a RSA based certificate or a ECC based certificate.

RSA is older and is supported by all browsers.

ECC is newer, they state it is faster due requiring smaller key for a similar security etc.

Unfortunately, I could not find what browsers and OSes supports ECC certificates. Would you guide me to the right site or specification sites for major browsers and OSes (including mobile ones)?

From GloablSign's ECC Compatibility list it looks like the following are compatible:

Browsers:

  1. Safari 4
  2. Chrome 1.0
  3. Internet Explorer 7 (On Vista)
  4. Firefox 2.0

Operating Systems:

  1. Apple OS X 10.6
  2. Android 4.0
  3. Windows Vista

They have Red Hat Enterprise Linux listed as 6.5. Not sure what it would be for other distros.
