The VeriSign Secured Seal helped to restore customer confidence so much that sales immediately leapt by 31% according to tests the firm ran using A/B split methodology. In a separate test to learn the effectiveness of Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates, Virtual Sheet Music found that customers who see EV's green address bar proceed to purchase 13% more often than those that do not.

VeriSign is the leader, the best known name in transaction security and Web site authenticity. I don't know why everyone doesn't use VeriSign.
