3 Choosing thawte or VeriSign for SSL All of our brands are backed by a dedication to excellence in customer support. Every SSL Certificate from a VeriSign-owned company is signed with a reliable and ubiquitous root so customers don t have to worry that they will end up with Web site visitors not protected by their SSL Certificate because there is a problem with the underlying SSL root. thawte The thawte brand is characterized by some distinctive features and is a popular SSL brand. For over 10 years, many customers have been very dedicated to thawte as their SSL provider. thawte provides the most expansive browser support in the industry bar none and historically was the first brand to support Apache servers. This brand also caters specifically to a multi-lingual customer base. The thawte seal comes in 18 different languages. Document translation into English is not required; resellers and customers are welcome to submit documents and communications in Brazilian Portuguese, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish. In addition to a broad range of standard SSL, thawte also offers certificates with the advanced encryption technology of SGC and certificates with the new Extended Validation standard for high level authentication and identification. VeriSign VeriSign is by far the world s most well-known SSL brand for securing e-commerce and communications over intranets, extranets and the Web. Many organizations choose VeriSign for the consumer confidence-building power of the brand s reputation for online security. VeriSign customers have reported an increase in completed transactions on their Web sites after visibly deploying the VeriSign Secured Seal to inform potential customers that their transactions are protected with VeriSign SSL.

All VeriSign SSL Certificates come with the NetSure Protection Plan warranty protection. All the latest SSL advances in encryption and authentication are available through VeriSign products including a rare combination of both SGC encryption and Extended Validation authentication and identification. 5

5 Authentication Standards Due to the prevalence of counterfeit Web sites on the Internet, one of the key purposes of an SSL Certificate is to help assure consumers that they are actually doing business with the Web site they believe they are accessing. An SSL Certificate provided by a trusted third-party authenticates the identity of a Web site based on a validation process performed by the Certificate Authority (CA). However, there are several different levels of validation that back SSL Certificates depending on the certificate and the CA. The level of identity authentication assured by a CA is a significant differentiator between SSL Certificates. The explosive growth of phishing and other fraudulent Web sites designed to steal information from consumers has put a spotlight on the authentication strength of various SSL Certificates and the authentication processes employed by different CAs. There are three commonly recognized categories of SSL authentication; Extended Validation (EV), organization authentication, and domain authentication. Extended Validation Authentication Extended Validation (EV) authentication is the highest level of authentication available with an SSL Certificate. Any Web site with an established brand reputation should consider the benefits of an SSL Certificate with EV authentication. New, high-security browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, identify these Web sites as authenticated by prominently displaying a green address bar and security status bar with the name of the verified organization that owns the Web site. These certificates are by far the most noticeable forms of identity authentication based on SSL technology by consumers. The CA/Browser Forum, a consortium of Certificate Authorities and Browser manufacturers, developed this category of Web site authentication as an industry-wide standard. In order to be authorized to issue EV SSL Certificates, a CA must pass regular third-party audits confirming that it meets the requirements set out in this standard for validating the identity of certificate requesters. More information on the CA/Browser Forum and the EV standard is available at Getting an EV authenticated certificate thawte, and VeriSign require a signed acknowledgement of agreement from the corporate contact listed on any order for an EV SSL Certificate. A company registration document may also be required if the we are unable to confirm the organization s details through a government database. A legal opinion letter may also be requested to confirm the following details about the organization applying for the Extended Validation SSL Certificate: Physical address of place of operation 6

6 Telephone number Confirmation of exclusive right to use the domain Additional confirmation of the organization s existence (if less than 3 years old), and Verification of the corporate contact s employment. These are the standard methods of identity verification used to validate organizations for EV SSL Certificates, however, documentation requirements may vary depending on the information available on various approved online databases. Organization Authentication Organization authentication, also known as business identity authentication, is a high assurance level of authentication. SSL Certificates with this level of authentication require verification of an organization s existence through a government issued business credential. Usually thawte or VeriSign will get this independent verification by searching one of many government or private databases to which they have access. If we cannot find proof of right to do business in the stated name for a certificate requester, we may request a copy of one of the following items: Articles of Incorporation Business License Certificate of Formation Doing Business As Registration of Trade Name Charter Documents Partnership Papers Fictitious Name Statement Vendor/Reseller/Merchant License Merchant certificate US Tax Licenses for non-profit organizations and sole proprietorships (in either case the state tax documents must list the organization as non-profit or sole proprietor) The Organization named in the certificate requester s Distinguished Name (CSR) must reflect the full legal name of their business. If the official name of the business as listed in one of the above sources of business credentials does not match the Distinguished Name; we will not be able to accept it. Suffixes such as Inc, LLC, or LP can be disregarded. 7

7 For example: "Dina's Cafe" may be used to authenticate "Dina's Cafe Inc." However, "Dina's Cafe" may not be used to authenticate "Dina's Cafe and Gift Shop Inc." In addition to the business credential verification, every certificate order goes through domain name verification. The organization ordering the SSL Certificate must own their Web site domain name or have proof that they have the legal right to use that domain name. We also verify that the Organizational Contact applying for the certificate on behalf of the company or organization is an employee of that organization. Domain Authentication VeriSign does not offer domain authenticated SSL Certificates. However, thawte does offer these lower assurance certificates, which are appropriate for organizations concerned primarily with encryption. Domain authenticated certificates are the lowest form of authentication available. An entity requesting a domain authenticated certificate will go through a process to help verify that they either own the domain requested or that they have the right to use that domain name. Additionally we will verify that the address for the contact requesting the certificate is either listed in the WHOIS directory or meets the CA's predetermined alias requirements. 8

8 thawte Product Sheets SSL Web Server Certificates with EV Extended Validation is the newest standard in identity authentication. Because of the rigorous validation process associated with EV, consumers visiting a Web site secured with an EV Certificate will be confident that this Web site is who they say they are.
