An Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificate is a type of SSL certificate that involves a validation process by the Certificate Authority (CA) to verify the organization's identity and legitimacy. Once issued, OV SSL certificates display the organization's name in the SSL certificate details, providing users with additional assurance about the legitimacy of the website. These certificates offer strong encryption to secure data transmitted between the server and the user's browser, and they typically show trust indicators such as a padlock icon and "HTTPS" in the browser's address bar. Overall, OV SSL certificates offer a higher level of validation and trust compared to Domain Validation (DV) certificates.
OV SSL certificates undergo a validation process to verify the organization's identity, while DV SSL certificates only verify domain ownership. This means OV SSL certificates display the organization's name in the SSL certificate details, providing additional assurance to users, whereas DV SSL certificates do not.
Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificates offer enhanced trust, strong encryption, compatibility with most modern browsers, trust indicators in the browser's address bar, validation seals for additional security, and often include warranties against data breaches or misuse.
