Extended Validation Certificates are a special type of X.509 certificate which requires more extensive investigation of the requesting entity by the certificate authority before being issued. Extended Validation SSL Certificates give high security Web browsers information to clearly identify a Web site’s organizational identity. For example, if you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 to go to a Web site secured with an SSL Certificate that meets the Extended Validation Standard, IE7 will cause the URL address bar to turn green. A display next to the green bar will toggle between the organization name listed in the certificate and the Certificate Authority (VeriSign, GeoTrust, Thawte). Firefox and Opera also support green bar identity with later browser versions. Older browsers will display Extended Validation SSL Certificates with the same security symbols as existing SSL Certificates. EV certificates offer the highest assurance as CA conducts strong business validation for SSL issuance.

EV certificates offer the highest data encryption and browser compatibility. EV certificates supply complete business information of the entity along with business name, locality, contact info and the validating certificate authority name.
