Help your customers gain the security of the green address bar
When you buy True BusinessID® with EV you also get EV UpgraderT, the first technology to enable all Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP clients to display the green address bar when they visit a web site authenticated by a GeoTrust EV SSL certificate. The EV Upgrader from GeoTrust automatically turns on all EV interface functionality by prompting an update to Windows XP clients. Without EV Upgrader, only IE7 clients on Microsoft Windows Vista are sure to experience the full benefits of EV SSL.
Enable all the benefits of EV
To display all the user interface benefits of an EV SSL certificate, a visiting client system must already have the matching EV SSL root. Vista systems automatically receive updates from Microsoft, so these clients will already have the EV SSL root. Windows XP systems require prompting to update the local root store. This prompting occurs automatically the first time a Windows XP client system visits an SSL-protected web site without an SSL Certificate root that matches one already in the client's local store.
Every GeoTrust EV SSL certificate is signed with both an EV root and a traditional SSL root in order to offer SSL protection to as many web site visitors as possible regardless of what browser they use. An IE7 client on Windows XP may not have an EV root locally resident when it visits an EV secured site for the first time but it will most likely have the traditional SSL root. In this case, the client system will recognize the traditional root and will initiate a traditional secured SSL session. Since a successful SSL connection is established, the client system will not reach out to a Microsoft update server to update its local root store and enable the EV interface. However, EV Upgrader, embedded in the GeoTrust True Site Smart Seal, will cause the update to happen. EV Upgrader contains a hyperlink directing that visiting client to a GeoTrust page signed with only the new GeoTrust EV SSL root. Upon visiting this GeoTrust site, the Windows XP client system will be prompted to update the local root store with the GeoTrust EV SSL root. This entire process takes place in the background and is completely invisible to the end user.
In most instances the next time the client's IE7 browser refreshes the address bar will turn green and the security status bar will appear; these EV interface features will appear from then on whenever this client visits a site signed with a GeoTrust EV SSL Certificate. The only exception will be in those rare cases where the client system has had its phishing filter disabled.
Fast and simple to install
Installing EV Upgrader is very easy. It is embedded in the GeoTrust True Site seal. All you have to do is put the GeoTrust True Site Smart Seal on your web site, and you have also installed the GeoTrust EV Upgrader.
