top) An Extended Validation (EV) SSL Server Certificate is a new category of SSL certificate created by an industry consortium called the CA/Browser forum. This new category of certificate was conceived in response to the growing threat of phishing attacks with a goal of increasing consumer confidence in online transactions. EV certificates will be issued to websites only after rigorous validation of their identity. Web browsers will reflect this higher level of identity assurance with prominent and distinct trust indicators, such as the green address bar in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and advanced green indicators in the latest versions of Opera and Google Chrome.
