The extended validation certificate
The certificate authority checks the applicant’s rights to use a given domain name. It delivers encryption in PKI cryptography. The CA asks documents from the financial institution to see the legitimacy of the company. it usually displays a green-colored address bar along with the institution name in URL which shows the institution is verified by the CA. the financial institution or government has to undergo through the domain validated and organization validated process.
Another difference it goes for young companies that they need to provide for a bank confirmation letter that confirms your active checking account.
Organisation validated certificates
Most of the large financial institutions and government use the above one as it shows the business is legitimate and the user’s personal information is not accessible by others. After verification, the CA asks for various documents for validation. The difference that comes with it is that additional vetted institution information is showed to customers to when clicking on the secure site. The website that takes the customers’ personal details e.g physical address or passwords is recommended to use the OV SSL. One of the advantages there is more trustworthy as the user knows the person receiving their information. The disadvantage is it takes longer to issue that DV certificate.
Domain validated certificates
The right of the application is checked by the CA to use a specific domain name. there is no vetting of company information. The encryption information is the only information displayed within the security seal site. The main difference with this is that it is cheap and easy to get as you can get it within some minutes. It is also suitable for blogs, personal websites, and informational websites. the demerit is the website user does not have the information who is the domain owner.
