Who it's for

Existing Thawte customers renewing OV; new buyers should compare it with GeoTrust True BusinessID.

DV, OV or EV?

All three levels use the same encryption and show the same padlock. They differ in what the CA checks before issuing: DV checks domain control only, OV also checks your organization, and EV adds stricter checks defined by the CA/Browser Forum EV Guidelines. Read DV vs OV vs EV for details.
