What Is an EV SSL Certificate and When Should You Use One?

An SSL certificate binds a public key to one or more hostnames and enables authenticated, encrypted HTTPS connections.

What an SSL Certificate Provides

Encryption for data in transit
Authentication of the hostname
Integrity protection against undetected modification in transit

What It Does Not Provide

Protection from vulnerable website code
Malware removal
Account access control
A guarantee that the organization is trustworthy

Use It Correctly

Issue the certificate for the exact hostname, protect the private key, install the full chain, redirect users to HTTPS and renew or replace the certificate before expiration.
