If GeoTrust is Verisign, why do they make a big deal out of competing with Verisign? http://www.geotrust.com/resources/market_share/index.htm John --
As someone who has dealt extensively with GeoTrust, I can assure you, they are not owned by Verisign. They're a totally separate company that has the old equifax root cert.

Agreed. I used Equifax before they handed off to Geotrust. Both have done a good job and are less painful (& less expensive) to deal with than VeriSign. I've never had to interact with either beyond purchasing single web certs at a time though. Gerald - How are ya? Never been better, ... Just once I'd like to be better.
