Cheap SSL vs Expensive SSL [closed]

Question

I was wondering what is the different between SSL certificate from verisign, http://www.verisign.com/ssl/buy-ssl-certificates/compare-ssl-certificates/index.html

which is expensive , and a certificate from godady which is cheap though, http://www.godaddy.com/ssl/ssl-certificates.aspx

is it like more secure or browser compatible ? they both generate a public/private and certificate keys ?

Thanks Alaa

It's all about trust. Verisign is a more highly-regarded authority than GoDaddy, so they command a higher price. Furthermore, Verisign verify the legitimacy of your organisation, whereas GoDaddy are only verifying your ownership of the domain.
