What the VeriSign Secured Seal Means
The VeriSign Secured Seal means that a connection has been
established to a domain secured by a VeriSign SSL Certificate.
SSL enables an encrypted communication channel between your Web
browser and the Web site server so that you can transfer
sensitive information securely. When you send sensitive
information, like a credit card number or password, encryption
keeps it private. Learn more:

What the VeriSign Secured Seal Tells You
Every SSL Certificate is created for a particular server in a
specific domain. Before submitting personal information (even a
log-in and password), you can verify the site's identity by
viewing the VeriSign Secured Seal. The VeriSign Secured Seal
shows you the site name and certificate owner information
authenticated by VeriSign and stored on our servers. If the
information does not match or the certificate has expired, you
should use another method to establish trust with the Web site
you are visiting.
