What is Extended Validation?
Extended Validation
Extended Validation is a standard that establishes a way to verify the information of the entity requesting an SSL certificate. The way to validate an Extended Validation (EV) certificate was established by the CA/Browser Forum, an association of Certificate Authorities and browser vendors.
- Participating certificate authorities agree to follow the Guidelines for the Issuance and Management of Extended Validation Certificates.
- When a browser encounters an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate, it displays the organization name in the ssl certificate details.
