What is a Premium Extended Validation (EV)

SSL certificate?
A Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate is a digital certificate issued in
conformance with the extended validation guidelines defined by the CA/Browser Forum.

The introduction of Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates will tighten the
security of Internet transactions as certificate requestors will be subject to a thorough,
standardized vetting process which all issuing Certification Authorities (CAs) must
adhere to.

The Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate standard provides an improved
level of authentication of entities that request digital certificates for securing
transactions on their websites. The latest generation of Internet browsers will display
Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL-secured websites in a way that allows visitors to
instantly recognize that the organization that operates the site has been authenticated in
accordance with the CA/Browser Forum's uniform vetting standard.

Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates are particularly useful for companies
whose Internet domains are considered at a high risk of being targeted by phishing
schemes and other types of Internet fraud. High-risk domains include domains owned
by high-profile online financial services, banking sites, auction sites, popular retailers
and other sites that conduct Internet transactions likely to be targeted by Internet fraud.
