Extended Validation SSL (EV SSL) immediately tells your customers that you are using the highest levels of SSL security available. By turning the address bar green and showing the visitor your company name, your SSL Certificate provides a higher level of trust and assurance than just the standard non-EV padlock. Higher trust means more confidence in your web site, and more confidence means higher visitor to customer conversions.>

  • Protect your brand from copy cat web sites - ensure customers know the site claiming to be you really is you
  • Elevate your site image - position your brand against the big brands, thousands of which have already adopted EV SSL
  • ExtendedSSL Certificate Features
    • Organization vetted to Extended Validation level - customers see your validated company details in the SSL Certificate and your Site Seal profile
    • 2048 bit future proof THE STRONGEST ROOT CERTIFICATE AVAILABLE TODAY In 1998, GlobalSign had the foresight to create a strong Root Certificate by using 2048 bit RSA keys. This makes the GlobalSign Root Certificate the most widely distributed Certification Authority to already meet the NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) recommendation that from 2011 onwards all cryptographic keys should be 2048 bit in strength. Anything less than 2048 bit will most likely be deemed insecure, which has prompted the CA/Browser Forum to insist that all Extended Validation SSL Certificates are to be 2048 bit from the 1st January 2009 in anticipation.

      GlobalSign provides 2048 bit strength across the entire Digital Certificate portfolio.
