Skyypay Renews GeOTrust's EV SSL Certification
Casper, WY, July 3, 2011 – Skyy Services is proud to announce its renewal of GeoTrust’s EV (Extended Validation) SSL Certificate for its SkyyPay service (www.skyypay.com). SkyyPay, the leading universal online payment processing provider, has yet again proven its commitment to provide a high level of security in protecting customers’ sensitive data.
This certification confirms that SkyyPay customers may perform secure online transactions and conduct business over the Internet in complete security and confidence. The EV SSL Certificate uses a more rigid standard of verification process that most companies can’t pass, therefore resulting in a high rejection ratio.
“The GeoTrust EV SSL Certification maximizes the security of our digital transactions and reinforces the legitimacy of our company,” said Ms. Meek, General Manager of Skyy Services. “Customers will see the GeoTrust logo on our SkyyPay website and be reassured that all their transactions are safe.”After undergoing a long and thorough verification process, Skyy Services was able to renew its GeoTrust EV SSL Certificate, enabling SkyyPay as a leading online payment processing service to achieve this certification. Obtaining this highest level of authentication re-affirms Skyy Services’ commitment to offer customers with products and services that are compliant with global standards.

The SSL Store Develops Online Module for Easy & Fast Extended Validation SSL (EV SSL)
St. Petersburg, FL
The SSL Store, one of the world’s largest resellers of SSL security certificates, would like to help the SSL certificate shopper find an easier path to attaining an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate for his/her Website. EV is a standard set by the Certificate Authority / Browser (or CA/B) Forum and is most recognizable as the technology that creates the green address bar indicator in the major Internet browsers in any secure portions of a site, an obvious visible cue of a site’s credibility and security. For a sample of how an EV certificate looks, please visit http://www.theSSLstore.com.
In a broad effort to improve accessibility to EV certificates, The SSL Store has developed an online module to educate individuals and businesses considering applying for an EV SSL certificate. The module was developed to simplify and expedite the Extended Validation certificate application and validation process. Because EV SSL are taken so seriously within the industry, they are not as easy to get as Organization Validation (OV) or Domain Validation (DV) SSL certificates, certificate types that do not produce the green address bar indicators.
A Platinum Partner with VeriSign, GeoTrust, Thawte, and RapidSSL, The SSL Store has been refining its system and knowledge of the SSL security certificate industry since 2007. The company is both providing the module through its Website, accessible on the left side bar of theSSLstore.com under the heading “Extended Validation,” as well as providing one-on-one assistance sessions via direct line with a U.S.-based SSL industry expert at (727) 820-1161.
Kent Roberts, Director of the Retail and Enterprise Divisions for The SSL Store and the contact point for any Extended Validation SSL Certificate inquiries, explains, “Because we believe that EV is so important to creating a safer Web for everyone, we want attaining that type of certificate to be as simple as possible. Frustrations can make people turn toward different certificates which don’t show online users as much evidence of encryption and organizational and site legitimacy.”
Roberts added, “The EV certificate is both a high-end product for us and an SSL that can increase revene for our customers. Our EV slogan ‘The Green Bar is a Gold Bar’ is a nod to how effective the EV certificate is for e-commerce, increasing online revenue an average of 20% according to extensive case studies conducted by VeriSign, which itself is considered the gold standard in online security. We hope our hard work related to EV will create greater interest in EV certificates in general and in our company.”

SSL Certificate Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wildcard certificate?
Security Risk:
Use of Wildcard SSL Certificates is strongly discouraged for most use cases. If possible try to make use of other certificate types such as multi-domain certificates. When you deploy a wildcard certificate and private key across multiple websites and servers, a single site compromise will result in the compromise of the entire sub domain. Also note that not all applications are compatible with wildcard certificates. In particular, many mobile applications will not work with wildcards.
Wildcard Certificates secure multiple subdomains with a single SSL Certificate. For example, you want to secure www.entrust.com, secure.entrust.com and support.entrust.com, you can use a wildcard certificate to secure all 3 sub domains under *.entrust.com.
There is a limitation on the way wildcard certificates work. This goes across the board for all Certificate Authorities. Wildcard certificates only support one level up in the fully qualified domain name.
For example, if we create a certificate for the common name of *.test.entrust.com, https://www.test.entrust.com/ will work; https://www.shop.test.entrust.com/ will not work. https://test.entrust.com will not work either.
When generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for a Wildcard certificate, add an asterisk (*) to the left of the Common Name where you want to specify the wildcard.
Multi domain certificate makes it possible to secure up to 100 domains on the same server with a single certificate. It is best for shared hosting environment. It must be reissued each time you want to add a new host/domain name to the certificate.
When generating a CSR for multiple domain certificate, enter the primary domain name in common name field. Let us know the rest of domain names you want to be included in the certificate.
Unified Communications Certificate is multi domain certificate specifically designed for use with Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office Communications servers.
Extended Validation EV SSL Certificates are the next generation SSL certificate because they work with high security Web browsers to clearly identify a Website's organizational identity. For example, if you use Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox 3.0 or Opera 9.5 the address bar will turn green to identity this site as having an EV SSL certificate. A display next to the URL will toggle between the organization name and the certificate and the Certificate Authority that issued the SSL Certificate. The green bar means that a third party has validated the legitimacy of the business, the business' right to use the domain name, and the High- Assurance SSL Certificate was legitimately obtained.
Generating a CSR for EV certificate is the same as generating the CSR for a single domain SSL certificate.
Yes - as long as Cornell owns the domain. Send your request to Identity Management support.
To ensure the university's compliance with the InCommon agreement, requests for certificates outside of cornell.edu domains are subject to extra vetting and approval, by both the university and InCommon. To begin your request, send email to idmgmt@cornell.edu requesting the domain to be added, and IDM SSL admin will initiate the process of validating your domain with InCommon. After the domain is validated, you can then request a certificate for a host in that domain through normal channel.
