identrust (Acquired by HID)

IdenTrust™ Inc. was founded by financial institutions such as Citigroup, ABN AMRO, Bankers Trust (since acquired by Deutsche Bank), to name a few. Upon receiving regulatory approval, IdenTrust announced its formation as a Delaware limited liability company in April 1999. IdenTrust continues to add new financial institutions to the IdenTrust network.

In March 2002, IdenTrust acquired Digital Signature Trust Company (DST) from Zions Bancorporation (Nasdaq: ZION) and the American Bankers Association. The acquisition combined the global reach of IdenTrust with the proven implementation strength of DST to provide financial institutions and their customers with the means to accomplish business objectives using digital certificates and certificate-enabled applications.
