Domain Validation (DV)
Domain Validated (DV) certificates only require the applicant to verify that he/she is the owner of the domain. The validation process involves sending a verification email to the email address registered to a domain (base on WHOIS information), in order to verify that the applicant owns the rights to use the domain. Domain Validation is used for fast issuance, but it sometimes lacks confidence level as almost anyone is able to get a DV certificate issued. 1BUY currently provides the DV certificates below:
Organizational Validation (OV)
Organization Validated (OV) certificates require validating the applicant’s organisation information to make sure it is an actual organisation. The information that is verified includes the organisation's name, its physical address and its phone number. The data must match the WHOIS information and also a public government information website or an approved third-party website before OV certificates are issued. OV certificates increase the confidence level of consumers because they are assured that they are doing business with a real corporate entity. 1BUY currently provides the OV certificates below:
Extended Validation (EV)
Extended Validation (EV) certificates are also known as “green bar” certificates. They are recognized and known as the highest trust level of SSL certificates. During the EV verification process, the issuing vendor or Certificate Authority totally verifies the applicant is a legitimate business and in good standing, above and beyond an OV verification process. Once the process is successfully completed and the applicant’s EV certificate is issued, all of the browser indicators will be activated on his/her site. The most important indicator that becomes active is the “green bar” in a user’s web browser which indicates trustworthy. 1BUY currently provides the EV certificates below:
