EV SSL Certificates Now Offered by DigiCert
Today DigiCert, a US-based Security Corporation specializing in High-Assurance SSL, announced that its new "EV SSL Certificate" is available to order. EV SSL is the newest Internet Security innovation for building trust through stronger Identity Verification.
(PRWEB) May 8, 2007 -- DigiCert, Inc. today announced the launch of its Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates, a new standard for third-party verification created to combat fraud and promote customer confidence online.
Phishing and identity theft have become a serious threat in recent years. In response to these threats, DigiCert and other major Certificate Authorities (CAs) joined with browser makers to form the CA/Browser Forum. As an active member, DigiCert assisted in the development of the current guidelines for EV Certificates.
Extended Validation SSL Certificates work with high security web browsers such as IE7 to turn the address bar green. This "Green Bar" assures your customers that your identity has been painstakingly confirmed, and that your website is not a copycat site trying to steal passwords or credit card numbers.
"At an introductory price of $495, DigiCert's EV offering is an unbeatable value," explained DigiCert's CEO, Ken Bretschneider, "especially when you consider that our EV certificates include our Plus feature which secures your chosen site name with or without the 'www.' For example, if you order a DigiCert EV Certificate for the site name 'www.digicert.com', your certificate will include 'digicert.com' free of charge."
For customers with multiple load balanced web servers, DigiCert also offers an "Unlimited Server License for an additional $295" (one-time fee, based on a one year EV certificate). The unlimited license means you can install your certificate on two or more servers without having to pay a per-server price for each additional server.
"Our EV customers will enjoy the same superior level of support that has been the secret of our success to date," said DigiCert Director of Security Services Christopher Skarda. "This is what SSL Authentication was intended to be from the beginning. Each EV certificate will be vetted to the highest standards. The EV 'Green Bar' will soon be widely known as the symbol of a truly secure and genuine site."
