I'm unfamiliar with the problem space. What are some of the use-cases for EV certificates?
It looks like lots of big name sites don't use them. Why do some companies feel they need it, while letting internet giants such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc. get away without it?
- stephenr 9y agoEV shows (in the address bar and in the cert details) the legal entity that the certificate is for. Eg anyone could register "bankofanerica.com" and get a DV cert issued for it. Only Bank of America can get a cert that shows their legal/trading company name. Well, that's the idea. I'm not aware of any ev misissuance but I don't follow this stuff like a hawk either.
