Cybertrust Enters EV SSL Fray

Cybertrust joins VeriSign and other certificate authorities in supporting the new browser security standard. EV SSL is designed to reduce phishing and Website spoofing by allowing legitimate sites to be cleared through a security screening process. If a site is certified via EV SSL, its address will show up in green on newer browsers such as Microsoft’s IE Version 7. Some experts are skeptical that the emerging specification will really hinder serious hackers. To qualify for an EV SSL certification, an entity must only provide proof of incorporation and a physical business address.”]
