On April 1, 2010, VeriSign, Inc. completed the acquisition of substantially all assets of TrustBearer Labs, LLC. This acquisition will combine VeriSign's expertise as a leading PKI provider with TrustBearer's solutions for easy, rapid deployment of PKI applications and strong authentication across all major Web browsers and platforms. TrustBearer Labs is a graduate client company of the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center.
TrustBearer has developed software to provide accurate and secure digital identity solutions for online applications. VeriSign® Managed PKI (MPKI) Services provide convenient, easy to use authentication solutions to protect the online identities of consumers, citizens, business partners, and employees.
This acquisition comes on the heels of VeriSign’s year-long collaboration with TrustBearer, during which TrustBearer components were integrated with VeriSign MPKI solutions. In the near future, we plan to embed the TrustBearer technology into our next generation authentication solutions.
