IdenTrust is a bank consortium acting as a public key certificate authority and secure applications provider whose members include over 60 of the largest banks in the world.
Announced in 1999, its founding members included Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, Bankers Trust, Deutsche Bank, and HypoVereinsbank. Early on it adopted a technology-neutral policy, developing standards equally usable by multiple technology vendors.
Initially located in New York City, it is now headquartered in San Francisco. In 2002 it acquired Digital Signature Trust, which had previously acquired the American Bankers Association's ABAEcom Project. The chairman, effective March 2006, is John Sculley, who had been the president and CEO of Apple Computer. [1]
The Trust Gate approach to identity authentication prevents man-in-the-browser and man-in-the-middle fraud by providing a safe Web browser with a real-time identity validation, and a remote device for loading certificates and software drivers.[citation needed]
