February 12, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider Bonphire Web Hosting Domain Names and SSL (http://www.bonphire.com) has announced the launch of Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates.
SSL Certificates are digital credentials created to establish online business identities and to encrypt information via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. EV SSL offers 256-bit encryption technology and its verification process provides a stringent vetting process that involves verifying the applying organization’s identity through bodies such as attorneys or accountants.
"EV SSLs will undoubtedly increase confidence in your online business. These certificates enable organizations to build a strong and trustworthy online identity, which is crucial to running a successful business. In addition, EV SSLs will curb rampant phishing attacks and other fraud issues customers have had had to deal with frequently when shopping online. The combination of a rigorous, standardized vetting process and new browser versions displaying EV SSL-secured websites differently enables website visitors to instantly recognize that a website can be trusted. As Internet users become familiar with the new browser versions, they will immediately recognize the difference between websites that are secured with traditional SSL certificates and those that are covered by the more stringent EV SSL standard," explained VP of Sales & Marketing, Martin Rorch.
