An Extended Validation Certificate (EV Certificate) is a type of SSL/TLS certificate that provides the highest level of assurance and security for websites. It is meant to give users greater confidence in the identity of the organization behind a website. EV Certificates are issued only after thorough verification of the requesting entity's legal, physical, and operational existence.
