GeoTrust Extended Validation SSL Certificate

Our SSL (“Secure Sockets Layer”) certificate encrypts communication between your computer and our website. All of our pages are encrypted with SSL.Although the badge says that our site is equipped with a “Quick SSL certificate,” in fact we have the highest level certificate called the EV or Extended Validation certificate.

You can prove this to yourself by (1) looking at the green address bar. On some browsers the whole bar turns green. On others, our name in the top left of your address bar will be green. Only EV SSL certificates can turn your browser address bar green.

And (2), clicking the security symbol (usually a padlock) in the top left of your address bar, and drilling down to the certificate details. You can see that the certificate is an “EV” or Extended Validation certificate. EV means that GeoTrust verified our business before issuing the SSL. It’s more than just encryption. It’s their promise that we are a legitimate company doing business online.

From the GeoTrust website:

True BusinessID® with EV assures customers that your business is legitimate and your site is secure. It helps:

Increase transaction conversion rates
