I find that EV certs are valued by web marketers and nobody else. It gets written down on a project spec because they read it's "more secure" and the IT team goes through the hoops of providing the very expensive EV cert.
A few years later (upon renewal time), it gets swapped out for a "normal" cert and nobody notices.
- nkozyra 9y agoRight. "More secure" is largely in the eye of the beholder. And if the public at large doesn't know the difference, it's a tree falling in the forest.
- daxorid 9y ago> I find that EV certs are valued by web marketers and nobody else Fun fact: it was actually our marketing department that nixed our EV cert, on the grounds that having the company's legal name in the address bar would be "confusing" to customers who expected to only see the domain name.
- walrus01 9y agoThis sort of makes sense, and is something to plan for when incorporating or licensing a new LLC. If you're going to have an online website that is https://widgets.com https://widgets.com , try to get your new company name to be as close to Widgets Incorporated as possible.
- matt4077 9y agoI don't understand... Do you believe the EV process is easily subverted, and certificates issued without adequate proof of identity? Or do you believe that doing business with someone whose identity is certain is just as risky as doing business with someone who only proved control of the domain's DNS?
- girvo 9y agoNo I think their point is that no one cares about EV, and to a certain approximation I think they're correct.
