SSL CERTIFICATES
Phishing scams and online fraud have created an environment of doubt among online shoppers. New phishing sites are emerging at an alarming rate which means you need to protect your website and take your customers' worries away. Connected Technologies offers you the choice of a standard 128-bit SSL Certificate and the following Extended Validation SSL Certificate versions from leading authorities Verisign and GeoTrust.
Even if you are not a target, phishing has a detrimental effect on consumer confidence. To regain consumer trust, you need an easy, reliable way to show customers that their transactions are secure and that the website is legitimate. To help face up to such threats, security vendors and Internet browsers have combined forces, under the CA Browser Forum, to establish the Extended Validation Standard for SSL Certificates. Now when shoppers visit your website secured with an Extended Validation SSL Certificate, the latest browsers trigger the address bar to turn green and display the name of your organization listed in the certificate as well as the certificate's security vendor.
In January 2007, Tec-Ed researched usage and attitudes of 384 online shoppers and measured their responses to web sites with and without green bars:
