SSL certificates are used to protect online transactions with higher strength of encryption.

Have a nice day  Wink

Kind of.
The actual certificates in the OP are H-BIT as said above so they are licensed to a legal entity, SSL certificates are just regular online certificates which most websites should have (especially if private information needs to be kept secure).

I am afraid i have to correct you a little, H-BIT d.o.o is not any special encryption it is basically the name of organization related to nicehash.com with the DigiCert SHA2 Extended Validation Server CA, which is issued to by DigiCert Inc.
SSL is not just a regular certificate it is "secure sockets layer" and, in short, it's the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred, including potential personal details.
There is another security layer caller TLS "transport layer security" is just an updated, more secure, version of SSL. It still referred to our security certificates as SSL because it is a more commonly used term, but when you are buying SSL from Symantec you are actually buying the most up to date TLS certificates with the option of ECC, RSA or DSA encryption.
HTTPS appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing authority, for example: DigiCert Inc. and the corporate name of the website owner, for example: H-Bit, d.o.o  can be viewed. Smiley

I'm not sure if I should ask this question in crowded places, or where there is filial piety

So basically every website have a different certificates depend whatever certificates they have to authenticate?
and for example the image below is verified by DigiCert INC and bitcointalk forum is verified by COMODO CA Limited Am I right?

I am not sure what you mean by "have to authenticate" or "verified by".

A HTTPS certificate is issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). CAs include Comodo, DigiCert, Let's Encrypt, etc. The certificate for Bitcointalk.org is issued by Comodo. For a CA to issue a certificate, they need to verify some information. The most basic verification is domain verification where the issuer asks the requester to prove that they control the domain the certificate will be issued for. This proof is usually by putting a specific string generated by the CA at a particular path on the website. The other kind of verification is Extended Validation which is what this topic is about. Extended Validation also verifies the identity of the requester and the certificate includes this identity.

Every website should have its own HTTPS certificate. If certificates are shared between sites, then there is risk for security issues.
Oh thanks for clearing the unknown certificate stuff it is just all alien to me luckily you are here to clarify that sort of question thus I need to learn more to be capable of being a knowledgeable forum member.

@jackg good suggestion.

Those are the indicators for Extended Validation HTTPS certificates. Such certificates are tied to an actual legal entity and the certificate issuer has to verify that the legal entity is actually requesting the certificate before the certificate is issued.

Sort of.
Myetherwallet is verified by DigiCert INC. Bitcointalk isn't verified by COMODO CA limited, that's just who issues their licence as Achow said, DigiCert legally state that myetherwallet is the site you're connecting to, Bitcointalk just tells you that the licence issuer is comodo ca (mainly as that suggests the cryptographic algorithms that can then be used).

@philipma or achow, can this be moved to ivory tower or serious discussion?

I asked it here

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.38912147


I think I will try on nicehash thread if I can find it.


what is this?

Shows up on safari and on chrome

I am used to https

not H-BIT
