February 12, 2007; 02:16 AM Domain name registrar VoxDomains.com announced that new Extended Validation
(EV) SSL Certificates are available for sale and ready to install. An
SSL Certificate is a digital credential that authenticates the identity
of a Web site and encrypts information via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology.
Created to establish online business identities,
enable secure connections and promote online consumer confidence, EV
SSLs set a higher standard for secure and successful online businesses.
Like Turbo SSL® and High Assurance SSLs offered by VoxDomains.com
Registrar, the new EV SSL offers industry-leading 256-bit encryption
technology. A thorough, standardized verification process affords EV
SSL owners an opportunity to tout completion of the most stringent
vetting process for SSL encryption available today.
The EV SSL
vetting process involves verifying the applying organization’s identity
and typically requires a letter from a representing attorney or
accountant. While the new guidelines are strict, VoxDomains.com's EV
SSL certificates can be issued within two to four hours after all
required documentation is received.
When users access sites
encrypted with EV SSLs using Internet Explorer® 7, the first browser to
distinguish EV certificates, the site’s secure status is immediately
evident. The browser’s address bar reflects a green background and the
name of the organization to which the certificate was issued, along
with the familiar https:// prefix and padlock icon. Other browsers
currently handle EV SSLs like normal certificates and are expected to
distinguish them soon.
