What is a vDOMAIN?

More than an SSL certificate

An SSL certificate proves that the connection is secure. A vDOMAIN proves that the domain itself has been verified and validated.

A vDOMAIN is an internet domain technically verified and approved by EsReal®. It shows visitors that they are effectively on the official domain of an organisation.

Unlike classic SSL certificates or DNS registrations, a vDOMAIN proves not only that a connection is secure, but also that the domain itself has been checked and validated by EsReal®.

Visitors with the EsReal® browser plugin see immediately whether a domain is verified - without any extra step, without doing anything themselves.

Anti-phishing

Fake domains and look-alike sites are immediately recognisable to users with the plugin.

Technical validation

Independent domain validation - outside the DNS system.

Hash anchoring

The domain hash is publicly externally anchored - verifiable by anyone.

No tracking

EsReal® does not track visitors. Verification is public and anonymous.

What does a vDOMAIN prove?

Clear about what it is and what it is not

A vDOMAIN is a publicly verifiable trust mark - not a title deed, not a login, and not a proof of identity.

What a vDOMAIN does prove

  • That the domain has been verified by EsReal®
  • That the domain is linked to an existing organisation
  • That visitors are on a recognised corporate domain
  • That the domain is included in the EsReal® verification layer

What a vDOMAIN does not prove

  • - Identity of persons
  • - Login or authentication system
  • - Title deed for the domain
