Comment on EV SSL certs and phishing by 411 New York

@KOTHEA

1. It did for us. We just added a verified SSL cetificate about a month ago and the SSL version has a PR4 on every page on our site. The non-SSL ranges from PR0 to PR3.

2. the .htaccess file can redirect traffic to the https version. ONLY do this if you will continue to renew your certificate each year. If you let it expire, then the browser will give warnings to all that search engine traffic coming in to the https version. Best thing to do is “code” a link on the page that redirects to the https version and use nofollow.

2FA is decade old technology, hackers have been launching more sophisticated threats. Of course, 2FA is important but can this alone save us from the hackers???

The answer is No, to explore more beyond 2FA visit Uniken.com. This is an innovation and has been implemented at various banks in India. Bhushan Pal

Comment on Worth keeping an eye on… by Robin Wilton

Thanks for the comment, Michael… (don’t shoot the messenger, though ;^)

I worked a lot with Colin Wallis during my time with Liberty and Kantara, and was always impressed by the NZ approach to both e-Government and privacy.

You might be surprised (and depressed) though, at how often the concept that privacy is about multi-party relationships comes as a surprise to people… even these days.

Comment on Banking on online identity verification by ACH

ACH — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 05:52:09 +0000

Identity verification systems are a fast and inexpensive way for businesses to determine if consumers are who they represent themselves to be. I found a blog “National ACH” which is basically a payment processing blog uses ID verification systems to protect against loss from fraudulent transactions. For more details visit

hi, thank you for your thoughts in the post. I note that some ev ssls come with insurance but some related questions for you if you wouldn’t mind:

1. Do any SSL actually DIRECTLY boost your pagerank ie just by having a certificate is your score higher.
2. If you get one do you have to go an change ALL your backlinks to https://…. from http://…? or is there some automatic thing on your host which defaults to https (but still allows http)
3. For EV SSL is there any better or cheaper provider than godaddy.com? (I don’t work for them!)
