A domain validated certificate (DV) is an X.509 public key certificate typically used for Transport Layer Security (TLS) where the domain name of the applicant is validated by proving some control over a DNS domain.[1] Domain validated certificates were first distributed by GeoTrust in 2002 before becoming a widely accepted method.[2]
