SSL certificates are a necessary part of network security. E-commerce companies that accept credit card and debit card payments, or websites that transmit sensitive information such as name, phone number, and address, can improve customers' trust in website services and greatly increases the security of the website.
1. Support virtual server
2. Support browser identification
3. Global organization grade SSL
4. Support multi-domain SSL
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate service is currently the most commonly used network communication security standard. It provides server identity authentication and data transmission encryption to protect network users' data from being intercepted or modified by hackers and ensure safety during transmission.
In 2014, Google announced that the installation of SSL digital certificates (https) on websites will help improve search SEO ranking results, and the http or non-SSL environment means that the environment of the website is transparent, anyone can read and see the data that users browse and transmit in any section of the network, and even modify the web pages of the website. In order to be easily searched by netizens and to use website services more safely, the installation of SSL digital certificates has become indispensable for a website.
Customers have trust in the green URL bar: Online shoppers see the green URL bar as the easiest and most reliable way to verify their website identity and security.
According to the authentication level, there are two types of certificates: OV and EV. Usually, an SSL certificate is only used by one website; however, Digicert certificates can be used by multiple websites simultaneously. It has "universal/multiple SSL certificates" that issue sub-domains or even across multi-domains.
In addition to the basic SSL certificate of OV SSL, the certificate will also list the institution that owns the domain (Institutions include companies, non-governmental organizations, corporates, foundations, educational institutions, schools, non-profit organizations, Social welfare units, etc...), since additional authentication of the institution is required, the process will take a while. After the application, Digicert will require the institution to send supporting documents (such as registration certificates, etc.) to ensure that the institution does exist, and Digicert shall conduct a manual review and keep it for the record.
*OV SSL will verify the organizational unit's supporting documents, so it has additional trust guarantee.
Besides verifying the documents of the institution, EV SSL will conduct an actual credit investigation, such as the institution's address, telephone review, and business investigation. To ensure that the institution's actual business is consistent with the registered business and that the institution can be contacted normally. EV SSL issuance usually takes about 1 to 3 days due to the additional credit investigation process.
It is best for shopping websites to issue EV SSL certificates to protect their users. If the browser encounters EV SSL certificates, apart from marking the security, it will also display a green URL bar with a logo that stands for the secured website. Consumers will feel more secure and trustworthy if they see the institution of the website.
*Some visa agencies for EV SSL certificates will provide compensation protection. If there is any loss due to EV SSL certificates, the visa agencies will compensate within the limit according to the terms.
Universal/multiple SSL Certificates, also known as "multi-domain certificates", most companies do not have multiple domains, but they split the domain into many subdomains (URLs) according to different needs, such as Email and FTP. Websites in different countries, regions, and languages will also have different subdomains. If these different subdomains have to apply for individual OV and EV certificates, it will be complicated to manage. Using multi-domain certificates installed on different servers can provide certificate authentication for the sub-domains.
*If medium or large enterprises have many subdomains, management costs can be saved. Eg: e-commerce platform operators can use this certificate to provide stores with https connections.
