TLS certificate selection according to authentication
TLS certificates from certificate authorities are issued according to predefined rules and recommendations. In order for the principle of trust to work and to ensure security, each certificate must go through a verification process before it is issued.
The authentication process of SSL/TLS certificates is divided into three basic groups - domain (DV), organizational (OV), and extended authentication (EV). The way information is displayed on Internet browsers, and also the price for the SSL/TLS certificate are based on the method of authentication selected. In case you do not know what to do, our experienced staff will be happy to advise you on choosing a suitable SSL/TLS certificate.
Domain Validation
The most affordable SSL/TLS certificates, which use only basic domain level authentication for their authentication, where only a verification email is sent. A huge advantage of DV certificates is their quick issue, which can be done in a few minutes.
We recommend using DV SSL/TLS certificates for projects where the emphasis is on the speed of obtaining the certificate, the effectiveness of security, and a favourable price. It can be applied in practically all areas requiring SSL communication, but mainly in intranet use, internal systems, or smaller web projects where it is not necessary to authenticate the company the SSL/TLS certificate was issued for.

SSL/TLS certificates for which there is a complete verification of the company the SSL/TLS certificate was issued for. The company’s verification emphasizes the credibility of the www project’s operator. The visitor has the opportunity to verify the website operator at any time. Certificates are issued relatively quickly - usually, the verification process is completed within a few working days.
OV SSL/TLS certificates are used in commercial web projects such as online shops, reservation systems, or any other web projects where the site operator is declared due to a higher level of SSL/TLS certificate verification.

Extended Validation
EV SSL/TLS certificates offer the most secure form of communication for the user as secure websites are uniquely identified by a strong green address bar in browsers, with information about the company and the certification authority. By obtaining the EV SSL/TLS certificate, each web project operator declares that they care about Internet security and that they want to be among the top companies using these certificates.
The SSL/TLS certificate with extended authentication (EV) is used for projects with the highest level of trust, typically in the banking and financial sector and in all web projects where the highest level of authentication and security is required.
