Is my personal information safe during transmission? YES!
Green Kids Auction is secured with a Comodo Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate to encrypt and protect your data when interfacing with our application. This, coupled with our fully protected and secure application servers, ensures that your data is safer than even on your own computer.
What is an EV SSL certificate?
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the strongest encryption standard for the Internet. It safeguards the transmission of confidential data by encrypting the information you send to our server. Any information that you provide when you register is securely encrypted and cannot be intercepted on its passage through the Internet. Extended Validation SSL is the next generation of SSL Certificate. EV SSL Certificates were designed to combat the emerging ingenious and organized methods of online fraud such as "phishing" attacks. The stringent verification processes developed by the Certification Authority/Browser Forum (founded by Comodo in 2006), provides extra assurance of the SSL Certificate-holder's authenticity, making Extended Validation SSL Certificates essential for any online business and critical for organizations such as Green Kids Auction, who is committed to earning your trust.
Some of the key verification requirements for EV SSL Certificates include:
ü Legal status as a company created by government filing
ü Registration number of incorporation
ü Place of business is in same jurisdiction (e.g. country) as place of business registration
ü Organization name
ü Business name
ü Full address and main phone number of place of business
When visiting an SSL secured website using the latest Web Browsers such Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 3, the EV SSL certificate provides a highly visible indicator that the website is a safe place to conduct online business. In addition to the already familiar "https" and gold padlock, websites using EV SSL Certificates will also display a green address bar in Windows Explorer with information about the certificate owner and SSL Certificate issuer prominently displayed.
