Types of SSL
Organization Validation (OV) SSL Certificates : where the certificate authority checks the right of the applicant to use a specific domain name plus it conducts some vetting of the organization. Additional vetted company information is displayed to customers when clicking on the Secure Site Seal, giving enhanced visibility in who is behind the site and associated enhanced trust. Example - Domain Validation (DV) SSL Certificates : where the CA checks the right of the applicant to use a specific domain name. No company identity information is vetted and no information is displayed other than encryption information within the Secure Site Seal. The advantage is that it issued almost immediately and without the need to submit company paperwork. This makes DomainSSL ideal for businesses needing a low cost SSL quickly and without the effort of submitting company documents. Example - Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates: where the Certificate Authority (CA) checks the right of the applicant to use a specific domain name plus it conducts a thorough vetting of the organization. EV Certificates activates the browser interface security enhancements, and makes the address bar green bar. For customers who wish to assert the highest levels of authenticity, Extended SSL certificate is the ideal solution. Example -
SSL Certificate Validation Procedures
Validation procedures are strict because we want to protect your business as well as your customers. Our main motto is to verify that each certificate is issued only to those who have proven their identity. Domain Validation The first step in the validation process requires that we verify your control of your domain name. We do this by first querying your publicly available WHOIS information for your domain name. We compare that data to the data on your CSR. If it matches exactly, your certificate passes this validation step and moves on. Just in case, if your CSR does not match your WHOIS data or if your registrar's WHOIS server is unavailable, we will ask for additional measures. Organization Validation The organization validation requires few steps before it gets the green signal and hence it does take some time for the issuance. We may need additional help from you. During the organization validation process, we will try to verify your business in various databases. In case we may contact any verified third party to give a feedback on the existence and validity of your business. In the event that we are unable to find your company information, or if your company information doesn't match the data on your CSR, we will ask you for documentation. We can accept almost any type of third-party verifiable documentation. We can accept the following types of documentation : Articles Of Incorporation (must include State officer seal)Fictitious Name / Doing Business As DocumentBusiness Licensing (state/city licensing, right to use tax permit)Bank Statement (must be printed, not from online sources)Merchant Account Statement (must be printed)Utility/Telephone Bills.
