IE 7 gives the green light
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Today on the IE Blog, Microsoft revealed that Extended Validation SSL Certificates are now live and supported in Internet Explorer 7.
Microsoft announced EV SSL support today at the RSA show, but the certificates started appearing last month.
EV SSLs have been long-time coming and complete one of the most important visual security cues for Internet Explorer 7 users. Hitherto, the IE 7 address bar flashed yellow for suspect sites and red for those known to pose security risks. For sites using EV SSLs, users would see green, indicating what is supposed to be a safe site.
