EV Multi-Domain Certificates
Increase conversion rates and strengthen online trust with Green bar Assurance

Extended validation (EV) multi-domain certificates give you the features and flexibility of a Unified Communications (UC)/SAN certificate as well as the additional security and user confidence of extended validation. EV multi-domain certificates use Subject Alternative Names to secure up to 3 domains, sites, and subdomains with one certificate.

For example, with an EV multi-domain certificate you can secure

  • www.example.com
  • www.example2.com
  • www.example3.com
  • mail.example.net
  • dev.example2.com

This makes EV multi-domain certificates perfect for Exchange/OCS environments or any environment where you need to secure multiple names across different domains. Certificates with extended validation also use the highest level of authentication and were specifically created to boost and maintain customer confidence in ecommerce through a rigorous verification process and specific, EV certificate-only browser cues like the green address bar. EV multi-domain certificates incorporate some of the highest standards for identity assurance to establish the legitimacy of online entities. DigiCert puts applicant websites through rigorous evaluation procedures and meticulous documentation checks to confirm their authenticity and ownership.

Green Means TRUST

When validating a website for an EV multi-domain certificate, DigiCert complies with a process that is strictly defined by the CA/Browser Forum. In fact, DigiCert is a founding member of the CA/Browser Forum and assisted in developing the extended validation certificate and validation process. This process includes:

  • Verifying the legal, physical, and operational existence of the entity
  • Verifying that the identity of the entity matches official records
  • Verifying that the entity has exclusive right to use the domain specified
  • Verifying that the entity has properly authorized the issuance of the certificate
What does EV look like in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari?

As part of this process, one of our validation specialists contacts the requesting organization to confirm that they requested the certificate and that the applicant is authorized to receive the certificate on behalf of the organization. By maintaining this human element in the validation process, it is very likely that fraudulent or phishing-related activity will be detected.

To let users know that a website has an EV certificate, browsers show more visual cues for sites secured with EV certificates. EV certificates include the following visual benefits:

  • Green in the address bar (green bar or issuance name, see above)
  • Website owner’s company name in the address bar
  • https:// at the beginning of the domain name
  • Padlock in the address bar
  • Organization information in the certificate details
