Content Verification Certificates are an X509 compliant certificate type and are created, distributed, and revoked using proven PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) methods to provide the highest level of security for web page content. This facilitates the deployment of verified login boxes, verified navigation panes, verified trade marks / brands and web graphics such as the HomeConvenience logo. CVCs empower enterprises to take a proactive, preventative response to Phishing attacks by allowing highly reliable end-user verification. The verification process, (initiated by the user and not the web server) allows any digitally signed content bound to a specific URL/IP to be rendered onto the display in a different way to all other “non-verified” elements – displaying a highly visible green border around the monitor whenever the user rolls the mouse cursor over trusted content. CVC’s allow website visitors to instantly verify that they are on a legitimate genuine website and not a fake copy.
