Salt Lake City, Utah (April 7th, 2009) – Blue Bayou, announced today that new Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates are available for sale and ready to install. An SSL Certificate is a digital credential that authenticates the identity of a Web site and encrypts information via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
 
Created to establish online business identities, enable secure connections and promote online consumer confidence, EV SSLs set a higher standard for secure and successful online businesses. Like Turbo SSL® and High Assurance SSLs offered by Blue Bayou, the newer EV SSL offers industry-leading 256-bit encryption technology. A process vetted with millions of hours of data checksum. A thorough, standardized verification process affords EV SSL certificate owners an opportunity to tout completion of the most stringent vetting process for SSL encryption available today. This may even result in lower user fees for credit card gateways in the future.
 
The EV SSL vetting process involves verifying the applying organization’s identity and typically requires a letter from a representing attorney or accountant. While the new guidelines are strict, Blue Bayou EV SSL certificates can be issued within two to four hours after all required documentation is received, usually much faster during normal business hours.
 
When users access sites encrypted with EV SSLs using Internet Explorer® 7, the first browser to distinguish EV certificates, the site’s secure status is immediately evident. The browser’s address bar reflects a green background and the name of the organization to which the certificate was issued, along with the familiar https:// prefix and padlock icon. Other browsers currently handle EV SSLs like normal certificates and are expected to distinguish them soon.
 
“Keeping up with changing standards in SSL technology assures your customers that you value their security as much as they do” Say’s Nick West of Blue Bayou, Llc.
