Domain Validation

Validates domain is registered and someone with admin rights is aware of and approves the certificate request.

Organization Validation

Validates domain ownership, plus organization information included in the certificate (name, city, state, country).

Extended Validation

Validates domain ownership and organization information, plus legal existence of the organization and that the organization is aware of and approves the request.

Only Extended Validation SSL Certificates trigger the address bar to turn green in high-security browsers, a convenient and visible sign of trust for site visitors.

We believe it is important to protect the end user. If we were to mis-issue a certificate to a fraudulent site, and that fraudulent site has an SSL link with an end user and as a result of this the end user loses money. The end user had what they thought was a trusted session. Comodo should never have provided the fraudster with the ability to engineer this situation. Hence, we have taken out insurance to pay out money to the end user. How can we do this? We value the end customer. We believe the insurance provided greater peace of mind hence allows the merchant to sell more products. Most importantly, we value our validation techniques (delivered through the IDAuthority). We pre-validate customers and provide validation that is far higher than the majority of other SSL providers. Some CA's have very weak validation hence they decide NOT to offer insurance! Finally, it is worth pointing out, that we offer high validation, but not at the compromise of speed. You can still obtain SSL instantly.

By giving your customers real-time identity assurance via simple "Point-to-Verify" technology, Comodo trustmark authenticates your online identity and gives your customers the confidence to buy from your site.
