How does Extended Validation work?

Major browsers recognize when an SSL certificate has been authenticated using Extended Validation.

In addition to displaying https in the web address and a closed lock icon to indicate an encrypted session, the organization name is displayed in the certificate details; which confirms both his identity and his trustworthiness.

EV certificates are the top-of-the-line SSL solution. Not only do they encrypt your website and safely protect user information from prying eyes, but they also come with a variety of premium features that boost trust and clearly demonstrate you’re someone that’s safe to do business with.
