Emersion SSL Certificates

Emersion provides SSL certificates for use on the End User Portal and the Customer Sign Up Portal. All SSL certificates purchased via Emersion are validated and signed by Trustwave. Trustwave is a leading global brand in the information security and compliance industry.

Emersion SSL certificates are compatible with all reputable web browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

Most SSL Certificates are tied to a single domain name including any subdomain (eg. www.yoursite.com or secure.yoursite.com), while Wildcard certificates are tied to a single domain name (eg. yoursite.com) but allow the use of as many subdomains as you like (eg. secure.yoursite.com, shop.yoursite.com, etc).

Emersion offers the following choices of certificate.

DUNS Number

The DUNS Number is a unique nine-digit identification sequence which provides unique identifiers of single business entities. Trustwave will contact Dun & Bradstreet for further validation of the organisation, so to expedite the process, please ensure you have a DUNS number. Obtaining a DUNS number is a simple and free process, and can be done online. For further information, please see this page

Premium SSL Certificates

Premium EV (Extended validation) SSL Certificates

Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates are validated to the highest degree to provide consumer confidence in the identity of the web site operator. It provides website owners with the ‘green bar’ in the address bar, like most online banking websites, to show the highest level of security for your visitors. Here is an example of how a Premium EV SSL Certificate will look in Google Chrome.

Premium EV SSL certificates enable secure connections, establish business identities, and assist in preventing fraud through a rigorous set of checks and validations previously unmatched with regular SSL certificate processes. The Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate features 256-bit encryption.

Premium EV certificates purchased from Emersion undergo extended verification, involving domain name validation, organisation validation and DUNS validation. As the identity verification process is more comprehensive than some other certificates, please be aware it can take up to 10 business days to complete (where all documentation is promptly supplied).
