What is an IP Address SSL Certificate?
An IP address SSL certificate secures a public IP instead of the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name), such as yourdomain.com. The IP SSL certificate encrypts connections directly with the public IP address (e.g., https://1.1.1.1/.). It offers the same encryption strength and security benefits as any other SSL certificate and adheres to the CA/Browser Forum guidelines.
IP Address SSL Benefits
The main benefits of securing an IP Address with an SSL certificate are a verified identity, noticeable encryption, and extra IP address use.
Verified Identity
An IP address is less indicative than a domain name, and the SSL padlock alone isn’t the ultimate indicator of trust. Upon inspecting your certificate details, users will learn more about your business status and navigate your pages with peace of mind.
Noticeable Encryption
Whatever your reasons for using a public IP address, securing it with an SSL certificate is now a must. Browsers will flag your connection as “not secure” if it’s not over the HTTPS protocol. As a result, visitors will see a security warning instead of your content.
Extra IP Address Use
Some services require IP SSL authentication, which can be enabled with a public IP address SSL certificate. Moreover, with an IP SAN certificate, you can encrypt multiple IPs under a single SSL installation, streamlining the entire configuration process.
What IP Addresses Can I secure With an SSL Certificate?
You can secure a public IP address with a commercial SSL certificate. If you want to secure a private/intranet IP address, it’s technically possible only with a self-signed certificate, but browsers won’t trust it.
Today, IP Address SSL certificates are available to regular websites and officially registered organizations that need to protect a public IP address. Depending on your needs, you may request a DV certificate to secure multiple SANs or a BV certificate to encrypt one IP address.
