OrganizationSSL
The company must go through a corporate vetting process which sometimes requires documentation and usually requires presence on third party company databases. The Certificate has a higher perceived level of trust and credibility in who the Certificate belongs to as the company details are included within the Certificate itself. The Certificate is issued within 1-2 business days. |
ExtendedSSL
The company must go through more stringent vetting which always requires validation of company documentation and other vetting means. Vetting is done in line with the CA/B Forum agreed guidelines. Not only are the company details included within the Certificate but the Certificate activates the new Green Address Bar in IE7 and other browsers to show a higher level of identity assurance. The Certificate is issued within 3-4 business days. |
