DOMAIN CONTROL VALIDATION (DCV) METHODS & HOW TO CHOOSE
Share this
Link copied!

Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL / TLS) certificates are the
gold standard in securing online data exchange. But how can you be sure that the
website you share your sensitive information with is indeed who they say they
are?
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. What is domain control validation?
2. The most common DCV methods
3. How to choose the appropriate DCV method
4. Streamline your certificate lifecycle management and DCV process
You can trust digital certificates issued by reputable Certificate Authorities
(CAs) because they go through a domain control validation (DCV) process, which
verifies the legitimacy of the entity requesting the SSL/TLS certificate and the
domain ownership for which the certificate is issued.
This article reviews what DCV is, the most common DCV methods, and how to choose
an appropriate method- for your certificate application.
WHAT IS DOMAIN CONTROL VALIDATION?
CAs perform domain control validation before issuing an SSL/TLS certificate to
confirm the entity requesting the certificate is authorized to use the domain in
question. The process ensures the party applying for the certificate has the
right to secure that domain with the SSL/TLS certificate.
DCV is a critical step in SSL/TLS certificate issuance. The process helps:
* Prevent fraudulent certificate issuance by ensuring CAs only issue digital
certificates to legitimate domain owners, establishing trust and security on
the internet.
* Verify domain ownership to prevent bad actors from obtaining SSL / TLS
certificates for domains they don't own.
* Protect against phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks by preventing
criminals from mimicking trusted websites and tricking users into entering
sensitive information.
* Ensure data confidentiality and integrity with robust encryption algorithms
to protect information transmitted between browsers and website servers.
* Protect online reputation by showing the organization with the SSL / TLS
certificate takes security seriously.
THE MOST COMMON DCV METHODS
CAs use various DCV methods to verify domain ownership. These add flexibility to
the process and accommodate different scenarios to ensure secure and reliable
issuance of SSL/TLS certificates. Here are the most common:
EMAIL-BASED VALIDATION
The CA sends an email to a predefined email address associated with the domain
used to create the certificate signing request (CSR). The email address is
typically generic, such as postmaster@domain.com, hostmaster@example.com, and
webmaster@domain.com. The certificate applicant will log in to the account and
follow the instructions in the email, such as responding with a validation code
or clicking a link in the DCV email to verify it owns the domain.
Email-based validation works for all types of SSL/TLS certificates, including
Domain Validation (DV), Organization Validation (OV), and Extended Validation
(EV). Domains with private registration may have to use alternative methods of
domain control validation.
DNS-BASED VALIDATION
This method requires the certificate applicant to create a specific Domain Name
System (DNS) TXT record in the domain's DNS zone file with content and
information specified by the CA. Then, the CA's validation system checks the DNS
records to verify domain control. DNS validation is typically suitable for DV
and OV certificates. It is generally not used for EV certificates but is the
preferred method for validating Wildcard TLS certificates.
HTTP-BASED VALIDATION
The certificate applicant uploads a text file with unique content from the CA to
its web server's root directory or a location specified by the CA. Then, the
CA's validation system makes an HTTP request to the URL to check for the file.
HTTP-based validation is generally not used for Wildcard TLS
certificates because the method doesn't provide sufficient evidence of control
over all the subdomains a certificate may cover, leading to potential security
risks.
WHOIS-BASED VALIDATION
When applying for an SSL / TLS certificate, the applicant provides information
about the domain (e.g., the owner's name and contact details.) The CA queries
the WHOIS database and compares the information with the data provided in the
certificate application. If the information matches, the CA considers the
validation successful.
This validation method is typically used for DV certificates. However, it's less
common for OV and rarely used for EV certificates, which require more rigorous
verification processes. If your domain uses WHOIS privacy protection services,
you may not be able to use this DCV method.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE DCV METHOD
Here are the factors to consider when choosing the right DCV method for your
SSL/TLS certificate application:
* Domain type. Most DCV methods are suitable for single-domain TLS
certificates. For multi-domain ones, you may use a different DCV method for
each listed domain. Meanwhile, Wildcard certificates typically use DNS-based
validation.
* Domain configuration. DNS-based validation is a convenient option if you can
easily access your DNS records. It also allows for centralized control and
efficient validation. The HTTP method is popular among entities with complete
control over the web server hosting the domain.
* Trust level. DNS- and HTTP-based validation offer the highest level of trust
and security because they require control over domain records or web server
content. They're most suitable for EV certificates.
* Certificate type. DV certificates may use email-, DNS-, or HTTP-based
validation. OV and EV certificates require more rigorous validation,
combining other verification methods with DCV.
Also, consider your use case to determine the best DCV method. For personal,
non-commercial, or standard business websites, DV certificates with email- or
DNS-based validation provide adequate security. E-commerce sites may require a
higher level of trust and security provided by OV or EV certificates, which
requires more rigorous validation.
HOW DOES THE DCV PROCESS WORK?
First, select a DCV method according to your domain type, configuration, and
validation preferences. Then, identify a trusted CA from which to purchase your
TLS certificate. After you've purchased the certificate, follow the instructions
provided by the CA to verify your domain (e.g., clicking on the email validation
link, uploading a DNS TXT file, etc.)
Here's how to avoid some common issues during the process:
* Monitor the email addresses used for email validation to avoid delays.
* Plan for potential DNS propagation delays in your implementation timeline.
* Verify you've uploaded a text file with the right content to the correct
directory for HTTP-based validation.
After the CA completes DCV, it will issue the SSL / TLS certificate. Follow the
instructions provided by the CA to install the certificate on your web server.
Track all certificates and monitor their expiration dates to ensure timely
renewal and prevent outages or service disruptions.
STREAMLINE YOUR CERTIFICATE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT AND DCV PROCESS
DCV is an essential step in SSL / TLS certificate issuance to ensure applicants
are authorized to use domains. The process establishes trust and security for
online data exchange, making secure online communications and transactions
possible.
However, managing the DCV process in an enterprise environment with thousands of
digital certificates is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone.
Besides purchasing your SSL/TLS certificates from a reputable CA, automate
Certificate Lifecycle Management with a robust platform, such as the Sectigo
Certificate Manager, to minimize errors and delays in the validation process.
