History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation) | |
VeriSign Inc. (VRSN) provides Internet-based 'trust' services, including authentication, validation and payment, needed to conduct secure electronic commerce and communications over wired and wireless Internet protocol networks. The company's digital certificates -- also known as digital IDs -- bind a person's or company's identity to a digital key which can be used to conduct secure communications or transactions. This binding is accomplished through a strict assurance process conducted by a trusted third party which also electronically 'signs' the digital ID so that parties accepting it in a transaction can have confidence in its origin. Among VRSN offerings is Secure Site, enabling websites to implement basic SSL security features between their sites and individual end-user browsers. Secure Site includes certificate issuance, certificate lifecycle management, administration functions, records retention, directory integration and transaction security. Also, VRSN offers Secure Site Plus, which includes security monitoring, security assessment, site performance monitoring and additional warranty protection. Global Site incorporates all the functionality of Secure Site yet also allows U.S. and international enterprises to offer stronger 128- bit encrypted SSL sessions between their websites and specially configured end-user browsers from Netscape and Microsoft. This service is targeted to financial institutions and online merchants that require enhanced security. Global Site Plus includes security monitoring, security assessment, site performance monitoring and additional warranty protection. VRSN Internet-based trust services are targeted at the new and rapidly evolving market for trusted services, including authentication, validation and payment, that enable secure electronic commerce and communications over wired and wireless IP networks. Although the competitive environment in this market has yet to develop fully, the company anticipates that it will be intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product and service introductions and other market activities of industry participants. VRSN currently faces competition among registrars within a single top level domain like .com, and in the future face competition among registrars within all new top level domains. As of February 28, 2001, there were over 140 ICANN-accredited registrars, including VRSN and America Online. INCORPORATED in Delaware in Apr., 1995.
