What is an Extended Validation certificate?
True BusinessID with EV certificates require the most thorough identity authentication process performed today in order to be sure that any organization certified exists. The green address bar displaying the organization’s name and GeoTrust as the Certification Authority is difficult for a malicious site to imitate. These two core aspects of the EV standard combine to create a strong defense against phishing scams.
Customer Confidence in the Green Address Bar
What is EV Upgrader?
True BusinessID with EV comes with EV Upgrader, the first technology to ”upgrade” all IE7 on Windows XP clients to turn their browser address bar green when they visit your EV certified Web site. EV Upgrader is available through the GeoTrust True Site Seal, and allows the widest set of browsers to display EV SSL’s unique interface conventions. CAs that offer EV certificates without EV Upgrader functionality cannot guarantee that all IE7 clients will experience the benefits of EV SSL. Without EV Upgrader, only IE7 clients on Microsoft Windows Vista are sure to experience the full benefits of EV SSL.
Enable all the benefits of EV
To display all the user interface benefits of an EV SSL certificate, a visiting client system must already have the matching EV SSL root. Vista systems automatically receive updates from Microsoft, so these clients will already have the EV SSL root. Windows XP systems require prompting to update the local root store. This prompting occurs automatically the first time a Windows XP client system visits an SSL-protected web site without an SSL Certificate root that matches one already in the client’s local store. Every GeoTrust EV SSL certificate is signed with both an EV root and a traditional SSL root in order to offer SSL protection to as many web site visitors as possible regardless of what browser they use. EV Upgrader contains a hyperlink directing that visiting client to a GeoTrust page signed with only the new GeoTrust EV SSL root. Upon visiting this GeoTrust site, the Windows XP client system will be prompted to update the local root store with the GeoTrust EV SSL root. This entire process takes place in the background and is completely invisible to the end user.
Fast and simple to install
Installing EV Upgrader is very easy. It is embedded in the GeoTrust True Site seal. All you have to do is put the GeoTrust True Site Smart Seal on your web site, and you have also installed the GeoTrust EV Upgrader. Learn more about the EV Upgrader.
