Chunghwa Telecom HiPKI SSL review
A web-focused OV certificate service for organizations needing SAN or wildcard coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Chunghwa Telecom HiPKI SSL issues organization-validated TLS certificates for websites. It suits organizations that need to verify their identity as well as secure communication between clients and web servers, with certificate choices for a single domain, multiple SAN domains, or subdomains through a wildcard. It is a focused fit for OV buyers rather than a broad certificate service spanning multiple validation types or platforms.
Certificate scope is its main differentiator: the service supports RSA and ECC, and the application process collects customer information and a CSR, then verifies domain control and applicant details. After issuance, Chunghwa Telecom emails the certificate chain for installation. The official site describes the OV service as issued by Chunghwa Telecom’s certificate authority in cooperation with GlobalSign. Buyers who need requests to revoke or modify certificates can also submit them through the service. This workflow is oriented around web certificates and requires applicants to be ready to provide the information and CSR needed for validation.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, SAN certificates start at NT 8,000 per year and wildcard certificates cost NT 30,000 per year. The page also mentions a seven-calendar-day risk-free trial/refund; it does not describe that as a paid-plan trial. Pick HiPKI SSL if OV validation and the choice among single-domain, SAN, and wildcard forms match your website requirements. Consider another provider if you need non-web platform coverage, a different validation type, or published information on issuance timing before choosing; issuance period and maximum certificate validity are not specified here.
