SSL certificates create a foundation of trust by establishing a secure connection. To ensure visitors their connection is secure, browsers provide visual cues, such as a lock icon or a green bar.
For server authentication, the client uses the server's public key to encrypt the data that is used to compute the secret key. The server can generate the secret key only if it can decrypt that data with the correct private key.
Web browsers give visual cues, such as a lock icon or a green bar, to make sure visitors know when their connection is secured. This means that they will trust your website more when they see these cues and will be more likely to buy from you.
The proper use of SSL certificates is only a small part of the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements but it is an important one. SSL allows you to protect customer data as it is being transmitted to and from the web server.
HTTPS pages will now have an actual boost in search and will be shown to users by default. SSL is needed to provide the best possible experience for visitors and retain their searchpositions.

DV (Domain Validation) are issued in a very short time. Verification of the data needed is done remotely. Details of certified organization are not verified and displayed. Owners of smaller scale websites that treat securing data transfers as the most important issue will probably decide to install a DV certificate.
OV (Organization Validation) display the details of verified organization that owns the SSL certificate. However when the service should inform clearly: who the owner of the site is, which organization is responsible for securing it, and the legality of the business – the best validation at a minimum is OV.
EV (Extended Validation) is a special type of SSL certificates with an extended validation. Websites with domains protected by EV certificates show the full verification of the entity by changing the color of the address bar (to green). Visitors can be sure that transactions on the secured website are safe and trustworthy.
