SSL certificate of EV type

The EV SSL certificate provides the highest level of trust and authentication for your website. The main feature of the EV certificate is to display the green address bar and the name of the company in the address bar. The following is how EV certificates are displayed in different browsers.

The OV SSL certificate will strictly verify the true identity of the applicant enterprise, and the SSL certificate will not be issued until the verification is passed. Therefore, the OV certificate is also for enterprises to apply for. Unlike the EV certificate, the OV certificate does not display the green address bar, which is slightly insufficient in the user security experience compared to the EV certificate. The following is the presentation of OV certificates in different browsers.

DV type SSL certificate

DV certificates are mainly aimed at individual users and micro-businesses. DV certificate does not need to verify the enterprise identity, you only need to verify the domain name of the website to issue the SSL certificate. Therefore, the DV certificate cannot be compared with EV and OV at the security level. General corporate users will not choose DV certificate, but because DV certificate is cheap and fast to apply, it is very popular with individual users.

Wildcard SSL certificate

A wildcard certificate sets the domain name protected by the certificate in the form of * .domain.com. It is generally used in websites with multiple secondary domain names under the same primary domain name. EV certificates do not support wildcard types.
