Why CAs Charge More for Extended Validation SSL
Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates are one of three standard SSL certificate types issued by Certificate Authorities: DV, OV, and EV. What makes EV certificates different from the others is that they provide the highest assurance that the domain is NOT associated with a bad actor. When users see a company-branded address bar next to the URL, they can know that they are on a trusted domain.
So is an EV SSL certificate right for you? In order to determine this, it’s important to understand why the cost is higher than other certificate options, the unique value it provides, and how the issuance process works.

63-Bit Password Emphasizes Role of Automation in Enterprise PKI
Industry PKI experts recently have discovered a flaw in certificate generation practices that employ the commonly used EJBCA CA tool, which can result in serial numbers with 63 bits of entropy as opposed to the 64 bits required by public certificate guidelines. Episodes like this one put a spotlight on the value of automation in certificate practices. Automated capabilities enable the consistently correct maintenance, revocation, and replacement of a large number of certificates with little human interaction required.
