Comodo EV SSL Certificates And Newest Release OF Mozilla Firefox 3 Makes Internet And Online Commerce Safer For Millions Of Users
June 26, 2008 |
|
The launch of Firefox 3.0 with a record 8 million downloads on its release
day further accelerates the wide scale acceptance of EV SSL certificates
Jersey City, NJ (June 25, 2008) - After more than 34 months of
development, the Mozilla Developer Center recently released its newest edition
of Firefox, version 3. This marks an important milestone in the widespread
adoption of Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates as part of new browser
security measures designed to protect 175 million Mozilla users from phishing
sites. Comodo EV SSL Certificates and EV SSL Certificates from other
Certification Authorities protect Internet visitors during online transactions
because the green address bar shows users that the site has been validated and
is not fraudulent.
Firefox currently has approximately 36 percent of the browser market, and with
the latest release, the Mozilla Foundation announced that the enhancements to
Firefox are largely related to improving security in online activities
including:
- One-click site info: New visual indicators in the location bar displays site
owner and checks if connection is protected from eavesdropping. Sites using
Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates, will display the verifying green URL
and show the name of the company.
- New SSL error pages: clearer and stricter error pages are used when Firefox
encounters an invalid SSL certificate.
- Better downloading including a progress indicator in the status bar and
anti-virus checks.
- Malware Protection: malware protection warns users when they arrive at sites
which are known to install viruses, spyware, trojans or other malware
- New Web Forgery Protection page: the content of pages suspected as web
forgeries is no longer shown.
- Add-ons and Plugin version check: Firefox now automatically checks add-on and
plugin versions and will disable older, insecure versions.
- Secure add-on updates: to improve add-on update security, add-ons that provide
updates in an insecure manner will be disabled.
- Anti-virus integration: Firefox will inform anti-virus software when
downloading executables.
- Effective top-level domain (eTLD) service better restricts cookies and other
restricted content to a single domain.
- Better protection against cross-site JSON data leaks.
Why EV SSL Certificates is Important for Creating Trust Online
High profile incidents of fraud and phishing scams have made Internet users wary
of conducting online transactions. The introduction of EV SSL Certificates to
the market, led by Comodo's CEO Melih Abdulhayoglu by founding the C/AB Forum
(Certification Authority and Browsers), provides a new type of identity
verification through the green visual indicator in the address bar. This
provides site visitors with information that confirms the eMerchant's verified
identity through a rigorous and standardized authentication process.
Comodo EV SSL Certificates - more technology, more savings, more trust.
Comodo has introduced proprietary technology to make EV SSL Certificates easier
to purchase and deploy. Some advantages of Comodo EV SSL Certificates include:
** More sophisticated deployment technology:
- Comodo's patent-pending EV AUTO-Enhancer™ - Automatic Deployment and
Maintenance Technology:
This technology allows online businesses to quickly, efficiently and with little
manual intervention deploy EV SSL on all pages by automatically installing
Comodo's new EV root certificate into the trusted root store of the user's
browser whenever an https session is initiated. Comodo's EV AUTO-Enhancer™
technology works without any webpage modifications and works even when
JavaScript is disabled in users' browsers.
- Comodo Auto CSR Requestor:
Comodo provides a new tool to automatically create a public/private key pair on
a local machine and then use this key pair to generate the CSR and automatically
submit it to Comodo over a secure SSL connection to create your certificate for
IIS 6.0 and Apache.
** Advanced authentication infrastructure ensures efficient management of
stringent business verification processes to ensure timely issuance of EV SSL
certificates to verified sites.
** Cost savings of over 70% on a single or multi year terms representing
thousands of dollars saved per certificate.
"Mitigating trust threats continue to be a top priority for Comodo because
the Internet is still evolving." said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security
Architect of Comodo. "Comodo is taking an active role in establishing the
standards needed to protect people while they shop and interact online by
driving a new level of accountability into all online transactions. EV SSL
Certificates is a large part of that strategy and now that Firefox is able to
detect EV SSL Certificates, more online visitors will be protected than ever
before."
