Demystifying the Web's Secure Backbone

Bad evidence 3 - August 28, 2008

Another paper that's oft cited by those who want to discredit Extended Validation SSL was published soon after the release of EV SSL at the beginning of 2007 and is titled "An Evaluation of Extended Validation and Picture-in-Picture Phishing Attacks," authored by Stanford student Collin Jackson. The Jackson paper is frequent link fodder, usually for bloggers who want to prove that Extended Validation SSL is not the considerable step forward in Web security that the community at large...

Two Web seminars worth watching - August 26, 2008

We recorded a couple of good Web seminars recently on the subject of Extended Validation SSL. I had the privelege to give the first to over 500 security professionals. In addition to boiling the basic EV story down to a half hour, it also contains an excellent Q& A session. The second was run by my compatriot Ryan White, and what's special about this seminar is it has a special guest visitor, Darren Shafae, vice-president of Proof-Reading.com. Darren offers the unique insights of an online.

Green bars in China - August 26, 2008

Chinese megabank ICBC has deployed Extended Validation SSL. The Forbes Global 2000 lists this bank as the 42nd largest in the world and the largest in China. This deployment is noteworthy because it illustrates that EV SSL is a worldwide phenomenon and not just something for North America and Europe.

Many banks have design flaws that facilitate phishing - August 21, 2008

The Street picked up some tips I published for people to protect themselves online. That fact got me reading the article originally, but what I want to call your attention to today is the other half of the article, which details some interesting research implying that online banks commit an awful lot of errors that enable phishing against their customer bases. States the article, The study found that of the 214 U.S. financial institution Web sites that were analyzed, 76% of them had at...

VeriSign certs now have IDN support - August 19, 2008

Yesterday VeriSign announced that VeriSign-branded SSL Certificates now support IDN. For years I have told people that IDN stood for International Domain Name, but in preparation for our press release on this topic, I have learned that the actual term is Internationalized Domain Name. Go figure. Anyway, IDN support means that a Web site can use character sets beyond the standard ASCII in its domain name. So you could use an umlaut or a Kanji character, for example. In the long term IDN...

Four common fallacies of evaluating EV - August 18, 2008

As alluded to in a previous post, I'm just home from another of those gonzo road tours, five cities in ten days in this case. On this particular tour I had face-to-face meetings with about twenty large online businesses, gave two industry conference presentations, met with several journalists, and stopped in to visit my grandmother. Grandma's doing fine, thank you, and enjoying the heck out of the Olympics. I've been speaking on behalf of EV SSL for about two years and at this point have...

Over 50% of client systems are EV aware - August 14, 2008

We recently hit a very cool milestone, which is that over half the client systems in use today are capable of distinguishing between Extended Validation SSL Certificates and traditional certificates. In other words, the combined market share of IE7, IE8 (very small), Firefox 3, and Opera 9.5 adds up to in excess of 52% of browsers in use. What's especially cool about that is it's an increase of almost 3% in a single month, which is quite a growth trajectory. People have been writing about...
