RapidSSL Standard Certificate

RapidSSL SSLRapidSSL Standard is an SSL/TLS certificate that provides basic but effective data encryption at the 256-bit level, which guarantees secure transmission of information between the server and the user. This certificate supports both classic 2048-bit RSA keys and modern, more efficient ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) keys, which allows for flexible selection of the cryptographic method depending on system requirements and needs in terms of security and performance. RapidSSL Standard is a Domain Validated (DV) certificate, which means that the verification process is based solely on confirmation that the certificate owner has control over the domain they want to secure. Validation is done via email, DNS record or HTML file, which makes the process quick, simple and usually takes just a few minutes. The certificate is recognized by 99.9% of web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari, as well as all popular operating systems and mobile devices, such as iOS and Android. This ensures that RapidSSL Standard is highly compatible and reliable across a variety of user environments.

The RapidSSL Standard certificate comes with a $10,000 guarantee, providing additional protection for users in the event of a certificate being issued incorrectly. Additionally, website owners can display the RapidSSL static trust seal on their website, which increases its credibility and increases user trust, especially in the context of online transactions or the transfer of sensitive data. The certificate is also easy to install on a variety of servers and hosting platforms, which, combined with its affordable price, makes it an excellent choice for small and medium-sized businesses and websites requiring basic SSL protection.

Secure Site Seal

RapidSSL Site SealRapidSSL Standard Security Seal is a graphical element that can be placed on a website to inform visitors that the site is protected by an SSL certificate issued by RapidSSL. This seal is proof that the site uses data encryption, which increases user confidence and emphasizes that data transmission between their browser and the server is secure. It is worth noting that the RapidSSL Standard security seal is not dynamic, which means that it does not display current information about the certificate, such as expiration date or status. It is a static graphic that indicates the presence of a certificate, but does not provide additional interactive features that can be found in dynamic seals offered by other companies. Despite its static nature, the RapidSSL seal still plays an important role in building customer trust, especially on sites that require basic data protection, such as small online stores, blogs, or corporate websites. To be effective, the seal should be placed in a visible place on the page, such as in the footer or near forms where users submit personal data. In short, the RapidSSL Standard security seal acts as a visual element that adds credibility to a site, although it does not offer the interactive features available in more advanced certificates.

Domain Validation (DV) SSL Certificate

The validation procedure for the RapidSSL Standard certificate is quick and simple, as it is a Domain Validated (DV) certificate. The process begins with a certificate application, during which the applicant must provide information about the domain they wish to secure. In the next step, the RapidSSL system verifies that the applicant has control over the domain in question. This verification is usually done by sending a validation email to one of the predefined email addresses associated with the domain, such as admin@domain.com, administrator@domain.com or hostmaster@domain.com. The applicant must click on a link in the email to confirm their control over the domain. Alternatively, validation can be done by adding a DNS record to the domain configuration or by verifying an HTML file placed on the server. Once validation has been successfully completed, the certificate is generated and ready to be installed on the server. The entire procedure usually takes only a few minutes, so RapidSSL Standard can be quickly implemented on a website, providing basic data encryption without unnecessary delays and complicated processes.
