en-wikipedia-org-2786		Extended Validation Certificate - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	3407	420	53	By September 2020, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari web browsers show the verified legal identity in their certificate information user interface. The criteria for issuing EV certificates are defined by the Guidelines for Extended Validation[1] promulgated by the CA/Browser Forum, a voluntary organization whose members include leading CAs and vendors of Internet software as well as representatives from the legal and audit professions.[2] To issue an extended validation certificate, a CA requires verification of the requesting entity's identity and its operational status with its control over domain name and hosting server. In 2005 Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO of the Comodo Group[better source needed], convened the first meeting of the organization that became the CA/Browser Forum, hoping to improve standards for issuing SSL/TLS certificates.[3] On June 12, 2007, the CA/Browser Forum officially ratified the first version of the Extended Validation (EV) SSL Guidelines, which took effect immediately. Most major browsers created special user interface indicators for pages loaded via HTTPS secured by an EV certificate soon after the creation of the standard.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2786.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2786.txt
