After going through the previous SSL add-on you are now aware of a little bit of SSL security. SSL certificate that makes your site secure here is the third add-on called SSL Personas that I would like to share with you that alerts users about the secure and non-secure sites by displaying different color schemes in order to identify secure sites easily and to make users safe from the fraudulent site.
Being a useful extension when a user tries to connect with an SSL secured website, ensuring users that the site is safe for login. It also increases SSL warnings on the certificate error page.

This add-on turns a browser into different colors depending on the level of site security like:
Green color: It stands for a secure website that is recognized and verified by a Certificate authority. It shows extended validation (EV) of business and provides complete online security with the padlock icon shown in the below image.
Blue color: It stands for secure website with standard SSL certificate that establishes domain and business ownership over the web. It shows that the business has passed rigorous business verification process by checking business credentials.
Orange Color: While orange color expresses partially encrypted website means some content on web page is not encrypted and runs on HTTP instead of HTTPS. It is a kind of browser security warnings might be happened due to secure and non secure items on your site also decrease the trustworthiness of a website.
Grey Color: If a website is not secured by SSL certificate then it turns grey color of browser. Such websites are not ideal for online transactions due to lack of SSL security. Like Calomel SSL Validation add-on, SSL Personas also cannot verify secure connection for website that runs on HTTP (non HTTPS).
Know How to Download:
- Just browse the add-ons in Firefox browser located under Tools tab.
- Type in search box “SSLPersonas” and a screen will pop up on your computer screen.
- Now click on green button “Add to Firefox” and install it.
- You can also download this tool by visiting Mozilla official websit>.
SSLPersonas as a grade display for SSL information appears to be capable of determining security evaluation. In the future, other security factors could be added to the core idea to obtain a further whole security analysis.
Finally, I like to say that the SSL concept is necessary to understand if you are internet savvy because there are some culprits who always search loopholes in every cyber world to make innocent people victim of cyber frauds. I think this add-on can bring the level down if the user slightly thinks over the usefulness of such an add-on.
