What is Standard SSL?

Posted: May 14th, 2018

Standard SSL certificates provide general basic protection. In all browsers, this is indicated through a lock-icon in the browser bar, sometimes accented in green and with the addition of the text “secure”. In other words, Standard SSL certificates are server security certificates that provide the lowest level of validation available from commercial certificate authorities. The URL begins with “HTTPS”, indicating that the website data is encrypted.

Standard SSL certificates can be issued by the Certificate Authority (CA), who will verify that a contact at the domain in question approves the certificate request. This approval is usually done by email, but can also be done via telephone or through alternate methods. However, your company does not have to be validated and no organization name is entered in the certificate.

Benefits

The standard SSL certificate issuance can usually be automated. Standard SSL certificates are offered at prices much lower than premium or extended validation (EV) SSL certificates.
