SSL Authentication

Before Starfield Technologies issues an SSL Certificate, the applicant’s company or personal information undergoes a rigorous authentication procedure that serves to pre-empt online theft and to verify the domain control and, if applicable, the existence and identity of the requesting entity. Only through thorough validation of submitted data can the online customer rest assured that online businesses that utilize SSL certificates from Starfield Technologies indeed are to be trusted. A High Assurance Starfield Technologies certificate guarantees that the entity that owns the certificate is who it claims to be and has a legal right to use the domain from which it operates.

SSL Certificates are only issued to entities whose domain control and, depending on certificate type, business credentials and contact information have been verified. Thus, a Starfield Technologies SSL certificate guarantees that the entity that owns the certificate is who it claims to be and has a legal right to use the domain from which it operates.

Starfield Technologies issues three types of SSL Certificates, each of which relies on authentication of a number of elements:
High Assurance Certificate — Corporate:
Starfield Technologies will authenticate that:

• The certificate is being issued to an organization that is currently registered with a government authority.
• The requesting entity controls the domain in the request.
• The requesting entity is associated with the organization named in the certificate.

High Assurance Certificate — Small Business/Sole Proprietor:
Starfield Technologies will authenticate that:

• The individual named in the certificate is the individual who requested the certificate.
• The requesting individual controls the domain in the request.

Medium Assurance (i.e., Turbo SSL) Certificate:
Starfield Technologies will authenticate that:

• The requesting entity controls the domain in the request.
