What is a high-security browser?
Web browsers that emerged after the development of the Extended Validation (EV) standard established by the CA/Browser forum and that were developed to recognise EV SSL Certificates are considered high-security browsers. They are designed to trigger unique visual cues to indicate the presence of an EV SSL Certificate. For instance, Internet Explorer 7 shows a green address bar and displays the name of the organisation listed in the certificate as well as the certificate’s security vendor. These displays make it easier for Web site visitors to quickly establish trust with the Web sites they visit. Microsoft® Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3 are examples of high-security browsers.
