Overview:
Thawte’s SSL Web Server Certificate with Extended Validation (EV) offers corporations
and government entities the highest industry standard for identity authentication
as well as 256-, 128-, 56-, or 40-bit encryption. The level of encryption delivered
depends on your client’s browser capability and the cipher suite installed on your
Web server. If you secure your Web site with an Extended Validation SSL Certificate,
end users with the latest high-security Web browsers will see a highly visible green
address bar verifying the authenticity of your Web site. This is the only level
of authentication that enables Internet Explorer 7and above to display the trusted
green address bar and a scrolling security status bar identifying both the name
of the Web site and the Certificate Authority for the Web site.
