This might be an unfair question: Do you see the cost of EV certificates coming down in the future, or is that level of cost actually required due to how involved validation is?
For a lot of SMBs and individuals it is hard to justify additional $150 a EV certificate costs. Plus the loss of convenience that wildcard DV certificates provide (and EV certificates cannot).
I like the concept of EV, but unless I was running a large company with deep pockets or was in a sector where EV is helping (e.g. finance/payments/etc) then I'd just skip it. I'm not even sure it helps mitigate phishing.
- nailer 11y agoEssentially the cost of EV is the cost of validation. As time goes on, and as there are more CAs, I suspect the competition will increase and the price of EV will go down. However, the current per-year price of EV is less than a half day's work by an average programmer. I'm not necessary sure that's out of the question for most businesses.
