How VerificationEngine provides feedback on High and Low Assurance SSL
VerificationEngine has the ability to recognize the difference between High Assurance SSL certificates where the information within the SSL certificate contains the details of the organization/entity that you wish to transact with and Low Assurance, where only the website name is contained.
It is not recommended that you inherently trust a Low Assurance SSL Certificate unless you have a pre existing relationship with the organization and have specific knowledge that the web site does indeed belong to that organization.
VerificationEngine conveniently provides a pop-up indicator each time you move from a nonsecure http session to a secure https session. For High Assurance web sites you will see the name of the SSL Certification Authority who issued the SSL certificate and the name of the entity owning the web site.
Conversely for Low Assurance certificates you will be presented with a warning to remind you that the web site cannot be authenticated. The Pop-up message will last for a few seconds.
If you wish to verify the organization in the future simply mouse over the 'padlock' in the status bar (shown below)
Large 'V' option including Green border around both the V and the main desktop window indicating the status bar and padlock are genuine
