Extended Validation features help foil phishing.

True GARA SSLxe with EV certificates require the most thorough identity authentication process performed today in order to be sure that any organization certified exists . The green address bar displaying the organization’s name and GARA Security as the Certification Authority is difficult for a malicious site to imitate. These two core aspects of the EV standard combine to create a strong defense against phishing scams.

Help your customers gain the security of the green address bar.

The GARA SSLxe with EN comes with Extended Encryption the first technology to ”upgrade” all IR7 on Windows XP clients to turn their browser address bar green when they visit your EN certified Web site. EN Upgrader is available through the GARA Security EXSSL Site Seal, and allows the widest set of browsers to display EN SSL’s unique interface conventions. CAs that offer EN certificates without EN Upgrader functionality cannot guarantee that all IR7 clients will experience the benefits of ENSSL.
