!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] (or [Certificate Validation Levels]) Over the last few years the number of [organizations|Organizational Entity] using [SSL]/[TLS] [Certificates] has increased dramatically.
[{$pagename}] is controlled by the [CA-Browser Forum] in the [Baseline Requirements for Contents of Publicly Trusted SSL/TLS Certificates|https://cabforum.org/baseline-requirements-certificate-contents/|target='_blank']
The applications for which [SSL] is being used have also expanded. For example:
* Some organizations need SSL simply for [confidentiality], e.g. [encryption] ([Domain Validated Certificate])
* Some organizations wish to use SSL to enhance [Trust] in their security and identity, e.g. they want to show customers they have been vetted and are a legitimate organization
As the applications for SSL have started to become wider, three [Level Of Assurance] for SSL [Certificates] have emerged which are described below.
[{$pagename}] are generally for three recognized levels: (lowest to highest)
* [Domain Validated Certificate] ([DV])
* [Organization Validated Certificate] ([OV])
* [Extended Validation Certificate] ([EV])
There are several forms of [Identity Proofing] within the [{$pagename}].
