Extended Validation (EV) Certificates are the ultimate SSL certificates for boosting online sales and increasing customer confidence. SSL Certificates with EV go beyond regular SSL certificates to make sure that there is no scope for phishing on a website.
Let us learn how this is done. When a website is secured with a regular SSL certificate, it usually displays the icon of a lock in the progress bar. However an SSL certificate with EV will show up differently in a web browser. When a websites secured with an EV SSL certificate loads in a web browser, the display bar turns green. This demonstrates to visitors that they have entered a highly authenticated site. 
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and the latest versions of both Firefox and Opera support this new feature in website security. Extended Validation SSL Certificates also have an addition feature – the field adjoining the address bar displays both the names of the organization that owns the website and the CA that issued the certificate. These enhanced features are next to impossible to copy and are also immediately visible to visitors. Hence they help assure customers that they are on the correct website and not on a fraudulent one.
With its additional features, Extended Validation SSL Certificates help foil phishing and provide enhanced security to a website. One of the best Extended Validation SSL Certificates available today is the True BusinessID® with EV certificate from GeoTrust. This certificate is issued by GeoTrust to any website or company only after the most rigorous identity verification process.
