Domain-validated SSL certificates are certificates that are verified against the domain registrar. There is no organizational identification information for these certificates and therefore they provide the minimum level of security. Commonly they are not used for commercial purposes, but use them for internal purposes or generic sites. Visitors to a website with DV certificates cannot validate, through the certificate, whether the business on the site is legitimate and therefore often do NOT trust this type of certificate. These types of certificates are recommended to be used where security is not a concern, such as protected internal systems where internal customers or employees already know the established trust of the organization.
