Entrust EV SSL Certificates

Entrust SSL certificates provide encryption-based security of sensitive information for websites and are the solution of choice for IT administrators charged with protecting their customer?s transactions. Entrust SSL products are designed to meet and exceed even the most rigorous enterprise security standards, including guidelines stipulating scalability, manageability, and cost effectiveness while providing robust 256k-bit end-to-end encryption of customer interactions.

Entrust offers a range of SSL related products, including EV SSL certificates, which effortlessly integrate into an organization?s existing e-commerce platform to provide a superior standard of web-based transactional security. Extended Validation SSL Certificates denote the integrity of a website by requiring Entrust, the SSL certificate provider, to verify the identity and domain of the site owner prior to issuing an SSL secure server certificate. This additional layer of validation is signaled by a green address bar in major browsers, use of the https SSL protocol, and a badge from Entrust indicating the advanced level of security - all resulting in a higher level of consumer trust.

For over a decade, Entrust has been a leading provider of e-business solutions that secure online communications and transactions for enterprises.
