Secure Sockets Layer
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard protocol for securing websites and online transactions. SSL uses certificates to protect transmitted data and verify the identity of the certificate owner. By using an SSL Certificate on a website, visitors can be confident that their data is transmitted securely over HTTPS. You can recognise a secure connection by https:// in your browser's address bar and the padlock icon.
Which SSL certificate should you buy? There are several types of SSL certificate, with different prices and validation processes.
Domain Validation (DV)
This type of SSL is the simplest and most affordable. Only ownership of the domain is verified, and basic encryption is used to transmit data. It is ideal if you want an ‘https://’ address but do not store visitors’ personal data. Suitable for personal websites.
Organization Validation (OV)
In addition to domain validation, the organisation behind the domain is also verified at this level. This lets visitors know who they are entrusting their confidential data to. As the applicant, you must provide information so everything can be registered correctly. This process is carried out by the certificate authority. Suitable for small organisations.
Extended Validation (EV)
With this SSL certificate, both the domain and the organisation behind it are verified, and the organisation undergoes a detailed legal, financial and operational review in accordance with strict guidelines. This SSL certificate provides the highest level of validation and displays the organisation’s details in the certificate. Highly suitable for businesses and online stores.
