[cabfpub] Chrome security warning discrepancy?

[Dean Coclin]

Thanks Stephen. Is that documented anywhere? While I recall reading a lot
about deprecated UIs for SHA-1 certs, I don't remember anything about the
"identity validated" piece being different. If that's the case, it's
extremely misleading to end users who have no idea nor are expected to know
what SHA1 even is.

In Chrome all valid SSL normally have "identity verified".  The difference
is that DV and OV show the URL, while EV shows the Subject O.

 

I think Chrome is showing "identity not verified" for SHA1-based certs with
validity into 2016.  

 

Regards, Stephen

I recently downloaded the newest version of Chrome (Version 40.0.2214.91 m)
and am now baffled by the certificate information. Here are 2 examples:

 

This screen shot shows https://www.Marriott.com. First it shows the green
lock and https as a normal indication of a secure connection. But below it
says the site is using outdated security settings. I thought if it said
this, then we would see a yellow indication (triangle or question mark)
above. Have things changed?

 

Further, it says "Identity not verified" even though the site has undergone
OV vetting and all information in the cert about the company was checked.

 



 

Contrast this to the 2nd site below,
https://www.carbon2cobalt.com/statuslogin.asp which has a DV cert yet says
"Identity verified":

 



Both sites have had their domain names "validated" yet why say "Identity
verified" with a DV cert and not an OV cert?

Does anybody understand this?

Thanks,
Dean
