Most users use foreign SSL digital certificates. Commonly used brands include Symantec, Comodo, GeoTrust, etc. The difference between domestic SSL certificates and foreign SSL certificates:

1. Globally-used "root of trust"

There are hundreds of EV SSL certificate issuing agencies in the world, and their respective products The technology and issuance process are different. In order to protect the interests of netizens, browser agencies, SSL certificate issuing agencies and other parties have cooperated to provide "roots of trust" for only some SSL certificate issuing agencies with reliable technology and standardized operations through strict review. When netizens log in to a website with a "root of trust", the browser defaults to the website as a legitimate organization, while if there is no "root of trust", a security warning will automatically pop up to remind netizens that the website has security risks.

2. The half-hidden "domestic SSL certificate"

After years of development, many new domestic brands have emerged. The use of SSL certificates solves the problem of Internet users’ trust in websites. Although domestic certificates have a resounding brand that conforms to Chinese people’s psychology, the vast majority of domestic certificates cannot pass the “root of trust pre-embedded” review to enter the mainstream SSL certificate market due to technical and strength issues. As a result, the certificate is incompatible and unrecognizable in the browser and the certificate cannot be recognized. In order to avoid the restrictions of "root pre-embedding", domestic certificate issuing agencies have targeted some foreign non-mainstream SSL certificate manufacturers and are eager to seize them. The psychology of the market takes the initiative and makes these "foreign certificates" appear as domestic brands, that is, using the "root of trust" of foreign brands to issue domestic brand certificates.

3. Trustworthy websites are the key

Since the partners are some foreign "non-mainstream" brands, these SSL certificates often have technical upgrades, compatibility issues, and product types. There are some flaws. The fatal thing is that when netizens log in to websites that use this type of SSL certificate, they see a hybrid certificate that looks like a domestic logo, but when they click to check the certificate, it looks like a different one. How can Internet users from all over the world trust the website and make the SSL certificate a powerful tool to protect the security of the website? We have to think about it again.
