Until now, customers had no visible online indication confirming that you are a verifiable business. But the new EV SSL Certificate works with the latest releases of the major browsers so that now your consumers can verify you and your identity.

Extended Validation SSL certificates protect users from doing business with unauthenticated web merchants. Simply, EV SSL certificates are the new type of certificate that provide rigorous authentication for a business' identity. This extended validation is given to online businesses that can be verified through evolved and secured authentication processes. If your site can be identity verified (and a competitor's site can not) customers are likely to trust you more. This competitive advantage translates into reduced visitor abandonment rates, improved conversions, higher revenue per transaction and higher lifetime customer value. In the world of e-commerce, establishing trust is mission critical because when you win your customer's trust, you win their business.

The New Extended Validation Certificates will benefit your business because they will provide better consumer protection.

Extended Validation Certificates are designed to provide visitors with the green "good to go" browser indicator when visitors go to a secure page.

Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) enabled certificates upgrade the encryption capabilities of older browsers from 40-bit encryption into full 128/256 bit encryption - ensuring your website protects and is trusted by the highest number of internet users possible.

The Comodo EV SGC SSL Certificate is available for 1 or 2 years validity.

Short about the Validation Process

The EV SSL Certificate vetting process will validate the requestor's domain control and verify the requesting entity's legal existence and identity. The EV SSL validation process is the most extensive and rigorous in the Industry. This process ensures that the green trust indicator will only be awarded to trustworthy and non-fraudulent websites.

Unlike other validation processes in the SSL industry, a certification authority issuing EV SSL Certificates cannot rely on any kind of self-reported data (such as address and phone numbers) during the validation process. This means that all data provided by a company hoping to obtain an EV SSL Certificate will be checked against reliable third-party sources.
