Security
| Extended Validation SSL Certificates were created in direct response to the rise in Internet fraud, eroding consumer confidence in online transactions. |
| Extended Validation SSL Certificates give high-security Web browsers information to clearly identify a Web site's organizational identity. For example, if you use Microsoft® Internet Explorer 7 or 8 to go to a Web site secured with an SSL Certificate that meets the Extended Validation Standard, IE will cause the URL address bar to turn green. A display next to the green bar will toggle between the organization name listed in the certificate and the Certificate Authority (VeriSign, for example). Firefox 3 also supports Extended Validation SSL. Other browsers are expected to offer Extended Validation visibility in upcoming releases. Older browsers will display Extended Validation SSL Certificates with the same security symbols as existing SSL Certificates. |
| Entities wanting to secure an Extended Validation SSL Certificate must go through a timely and costly process to obtain approval. From the green bar at the top of your browser, our commitment to the security of your data and customer's personal and private information is clear. |
NAMS goes Green with Verisign's Extended Validation SSL Certificate. Users of online services recognize the green address bar as an easy and reliable way to verify site identity and security. Only SSL Certificates with EV (Extended Validation) trigger high-security Web browsers to display an organization's name in a green address bar. Web users utilizing browsers older than Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 3 need to look for the gold lock to verify the SSL Certificate. |
