DV certificate, also known as DV SSL certificate, is one of the forms of SSL certificate. DV certificates are mainly used for deployment to web servers to provide HTTPS access for web services.

You may not know what HTTPS is. In fact, HTTPS is a network protocol. Websites that use this network protocol can encrypt data transmission and ensure that user data will not be stolen or tampered with in the process of transmission. Generally uses the HTTPS agreement website, the website URL all starts with the https, you can check the Baidu URL, Baidu has already adopted the https website.

Sites that use HTTPS not only start with https, but also have a "security lock" icon in the navigation bar.

What are the advantages of DV certificate

DV certificates are generally intended for personal websites and small business websites. Here are the advantages of DV certificates.

Fast issuing speed

The biggest advantage of DV certificate is that it is fast to issue a certificate. Generally, it takes about 20-30 minutes to issue a DV certificate. Compared with EV certificate and OV certificate (issued in 5-7 working days), the issuing speed of DV certificate is very fast.

Why are DV certificates issued so quickly? The reason is that the DV certificate only needs to verify the validity of the website domain name, not the identity of the website owner. To apply for the DV certificate, the applicant only needs to cooperate with the CA organization to configure the domain name resolution of the website according to the requirements of the CA organization, and the CA organization can automatically verify the website domain name, which takes about 20-30 minutes. After the verification is passed, the DV certificate can be issued. EV certificate and OV certificate are different, these two certificates not only verify the domain name, but also need to verify the identity of the website owner, and use manual audit, so there will be a huge gap in the speed of issuance.

Cheap

DV certificates due to different audit mechanisms, the price of DV certificates is much cheaper than that of EV and OV certificates. The audit of DV certificate is carried out automatically without human intervention, so the cost of issuing the certificate will be greatly reduced, which is ultimately reflected in the price of the DV certificate.

What are the disadvantages of DV certificate

Low level of security

The DV certificate does not verify the identity of the applicant, which makes the DV certificate inherently less secure than the EV certificate and the OV certificate.

Unable to identify illegal websites

The DV certificate only verifies the domain name of the website, which means that as long as you have the domain name, you can successfully apply for the DV certificate. Such illegal websites can also apply for HTTPS sites.

Certificate due to the above security shortcomings of the DV certificate, the DV certificate is generally only suitable for personal websites or small business websites. However, for some medium and large enterprises, DV certificates may not be suitable in terms of security.
