Hi Sash 007,

They is a certificate called an EV (extended validation), basically it places the green bar in the browser.

However to get a EV certificate they is extended vetting, including company background etc. And they are not cheap either.

General rule of thumb is to get a SSL cert of atleast 128 bits encryption.

I am a security consulant by trade and if you need any further assistance please PM me.
