kaupthingedge.co.uk is secured with an Extended Validation SSL Certificate from VeriSign.
What does this mean?
Kaupthing Edge has improved its online security with the introduction of Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates. These new certificates represent the latest advancement in SSL technology and have been designed to help our on-line customers to visibly see our websites’ authenticity and security.
When logging into our website (using a high security browser such as Internet Explorer 7) on a secure https page, you will notice the URL address bar turns green. You will also see that the padlock has been raised to eye level and the security status bar, to the right of the address bar, toggles between the name of the owner of this Web site "Kaupthing Edge" and "Identified by VeriSign" - the Certificate Authority that performed the Extended Validation authentication.
These visual cues collectively demonstrate that you are on the true Kaupthing Edge web site rather than a fraudulent version of the site. We have invested in VeriSign® Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates to help combat the fraudulent Internet activity known as phishing. EV SSL technology encrypts data travelling from our customers PC’s to our web servers. It also authenticates the identity of a Web site and helps our online visitors to distinguish between a genuine and fraudulent Web site.
Please note
Using a VeriSign Extended Validation SSL Certificate means that all Kaupthing Edge customers transacting with our Web site can feel confident that their transactions are safe and secure. However, these additional visual cues are only available to customers using Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.0 (with a plug-in). If you are using Internet Explorer 7 and still can’t see the green address bar, this might be due to your security setting in your browser. Go to "Tools" > "Internet Options" > "Security" > "Use Phishing Filter". Only when this is enabled, you will see the green address bar.
Visitors using older browsers can still click on the padlock and check the validity of the SSL Certificate on our site to ensure they are on the true version of our website. Kaupthing Edge recommends customers consider a browser update, in order to fully benefit from the additional security offered with Extended Validation SSL Certificates.
