A directory that is similar to the Standard SSL Directory in terms of classification of listings. A Standard SSL Directory lists SSL certified websites on the basis of the type of Standard SSL certificate those websites carry.
Similarly an Enterprise SSL directory provides listings of websites that carry Enterprise SSL certificates. But before you understand how this listing works, you need to know what Enterprise SSL certificates are!
SSL Certificates are designed to secure e-commerce websites. However e-commerce websites can be of several different types. The website from where you can buy goods and services from your local supermarket for home delivery is e-commerce website. Similarly the website of electronics giant Sony, especially the online shopping section of the website is also an e-commerce one.
Both these websites differ from each other but fall under the same category of websites – e-commerce. While the former deals in lesser value transactions and is more of less localized, the latter works at the international level and has regular high-value, high-volume transactions.
As a result both websites would require different types of SSL certificates – the first one a Standard SSL certificate while the second would require an Enterprise SSL certificate. Enterprise SSL certificates work at higher technology level and provide more in-depth security to websites that are connected with major enterprises.
In a similar fashion, SSL directories for Standard SSL certified sites and Enterprise SSL certified sites are also different. An Enterprise SSL directory provides listings of websites that are certified with Enterprise SSL certificates.
Just like a Standard SSL directory, an Enterprise SSL directory would list websites on the basis of the type of Enterprise SSL certificate they carry. This means, the listings would read something like this:
- True BusinessID®
- True BusinessID® WildCard
- Power ServerID® WildCard etc.
With an Enterprise SSL directory in hand, it is very easy to identify the best and most secure enterprise level websites because each Enterprise SSL certificate has certain unique features that help classify the website it is linked to.
An Enterprise SSL directory is very handy to have for enterprises as well because it allows them to identify their competitors as well as explore new areas where business opportunities exist.
