Extended Validation (EV)

Extended Validation (EV) is a type of website security that provides a higher level of trust, verified through rigorous checks of the website’s owner and legal identity. When you visit an EV-secured site, your browser displays a green address bar or the company's name, indicating the site has undergone thorough identity verification. This helps users confidently recognize legitimate websites, especially for banking or shopping, reducing the risk of phishing or fraud. EV certificates enhance security by ensuring the website is authentic and operated by a verified entity, fostering trust and confidence in online interactions.
