SSL Certificate FAQs
The SSL (and TLS) protocol is the Web standard for encrypting communications between users and SSL (secure sockets layer) e-commerce sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a Web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential. Web server certificates (also known as secure server certificates or SSL certificates) are required to initialize an SSL session. Customers know when they have an SSL session with a website when their browser displays the little gold padlock and the address bar begins with a https rather than http. SSL certificates can be used on webservers for Internet security and mailservers such as imap, pop3 and smtp for mail collection / sending security.
An SSL certificate is a bit of code on your Web server that provides security for online communications. When a Web browser contacts your secured website, the SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection. It's kind of like sealing a letter in an envelope before sending it through the mail.SSL certificates also inspire trust because each SSL certificate contains identification information. When you request an SSL certificate, a third party Certificate Authorities (CA) (such as, Sectigo, Comodo CA, DigiCert, etc) verifies your organization's information and issues a unique certificate to you with that information. This is known as the authentication process.
SSL certificates keep online interactions private even though they travel across the public Internet, and they help customers gain the confidence to provide personal information on your website. If you ask users of your website to sign in, enter personal data such as credit card numbers, or view confidential information such as health benefits or financial accounts, you need to keep the data private. You also need to assure them that your website is authentic.SSL is also used for email servers, Web-based applications, server-to-server communications and more.
The applicant needs to have a domain name and a dedicated IP for his/her website in order to setup the SSL certificate on his/her website.
The time depends on which product the applicant selects. He/she can get a DV certificate within a couple of hours if he/she needs it right away. Some products (OV, EV) require documents to be provided for verification, therefore they require longer processing time for verification process.
Domain Validated (DV) SSL Certificates deliver the easiest & quickest solution to secure a domain since only the domain name is verified during the validation process. Anyone who can demonstrate control of a registered domain can get this SSL security within minutes of ordering. DV certificates are suitable for small or start-up businesses.
To receive an Organization Validated (OV) SSL certificate the customer must demonstrate control of a registered domain and provide certain pieces of company information that CA can verify using third-party sources. The OV certificate is a good solution for business sites to increase user trust as the certificate certifies and displays company information to prove ownership of the website.
An Extended Validation (EV) certificate is the premium SSL certificate. It provides great assurance to customers by displaying your organization's verified details in all major browsers. In browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer, EV SSL displays your organization's name and/or domain name in green on the address bar, formerly known as 'green address bar'. Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates provide a secure connection and provide visible proof to establish business identity validation.
Corporations, LLCs, sole proprietorships, partnerships, governments and schools are eligible to apply for EV SSL certificate. Basically, any entity that is legally registered with the applicants' local or state government may apply for it.
A Wildcard SSL certificate is used to secure unlimited sub domains that share a common base domain. For example, if your base domain is ‘books.com’, you can secure sales.books.com, www.books.com, secure.books.com, and shop.books.com with one Wildcard SSL certificate.
Multi Domain or SAN (Subject Alternative Names) certificates protects multiple domain names with a single certificate (domain.com, example.net, website.org etc). The multi-domain certificates can cover up to 250 domains with just one certificate.
A multi-domain wildcard SSL certificate combines the features of a wildcard SSL certificate and a multi-domain certificate into one. It is designed to secure unlimited subdomains under multiple domains. During generation, the Common Name has to be a regular domain (www.domain.com) and the SAN fields can be your wildcard entries.
