MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — VeriSign Inc. said more than 100 credit unions are now using its VeriSign Extended Validation (EV) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates to help thwart phishing.
The VeriSign EV SSL solution is used by online businesses to provide users visual clues that the Web site they are visiting is indeed legitimate.
Those clues include the address bar turning green, a lock icon appearing next to the address, and a field to the right of the URL in the browser which includes the names of the organization and the security provider.
VeriSign (www.verisign.com) now provides EV SSL Certificates to more than 3,000 Internet domains and help protect against identity theft at more than 90% of the Fortune 500 and the world's 40 largest banks, the company said.
