A secure certificate (aka SSL cert) allows a web site to secure the connection between the web server and the visitor. That allows the protection of the users’ privacy and the confidentiality of the data. A secure certificate technically does the following two things:

  • Guarantee that the website you are looking at is truly the website you are expecting to look at (to avoid “man in the middle” attacks)
  • Encrypt the connection so that 3rd parties that are trying to “sniff” the data can not discover the contents

In order to begin timely processing of a secure certificate order we will need the following documentation:

Proof of Organization, which can be any of the following:

  • DUNS number (Dun and Bradstreet)
  • Articles of Incorporation or Business License
  • Doing Business As (DBA) registration
  • Sole Proprietorship documentation

Please note: Company name and addresses listed on these documents will need to match the current domain registration company name and address. You can look up your domain registration information here: http://opensrs.org/cgi-bin/whois.cgi
