SSL Digital Certificates

EV Digital Certificates

EV Digital Certificates

An important motivation for using digital certificates with SSL was to add trust to online transactions by requiring website operators to undergo vetting with a certificate authority (« CA ») in order to get an SSL certificate.

Commercial pressures have led some CAs to introduce "domain validation only" SSL certificates for which minimal verification is performed of the details in the certificate.

Most browsers’ user interfaces did not clearly differentiate between low-validation certificates and those that have undergone more rigorous vetting. As a result, fraudsters (including phishing websites) have started to use SSL to add credibility to their websites.

By establishing stricter issuing criteria and requiring consistent application of those criteria by all participating CAs, EV (Extended Validation) SSL certificates are intended to restore confidence among users that a website operator is a legally established business or organization with a verifiable identity.

EV certificates must follow detailed issuance requirements which aim to:

 Establish the legal identity as well as the operational and physical presence of website owner;
 Establish that the applicant is the domain name owner or has exclusive control over the domain name; and
 Confirm the identity and authority of the individuals acting for the website owner, and that documents pertaining to legal obligations are signed by an authorised officer.

Mailclub offers EV certificates from the major Certification Authorities. EV certificates activate the green URL bar in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, Opera 9.5 , Safari 3.2 and Google Chrome. This green color means the highest authentication level is achieved.
