Based in Mountain View, California, the VeriSign, Inc. operates a diverse array of network infrastructure which includes two of the Internet’s thirteen root nameservers, the generic top-level domains for .com and .net, one of the largest SS7 signaling networks in North America, and the RFID directory for EPCGlobal. VeriSign is also known for its security and telecom (digital certificates, payments processing, etc) which grouped under the banner of ‘intelligent infrastructure’ services.

Following the RSA Security certification services business spin-off, the VeriSign company was founded and instantly received licenses to key cryptographic patents held by RSA and a time limited non-compete agreement. The new company served as a certificate authority (CA) — a role it still fulfills — and its initial mission was “providing trust for the Internet and Electronic Commerce through our Digital Authentication services and products.”

VeriSign is well known for the VeriSign Secured Seal, which is an outward expression of a Web site’s authentication and encryption commonly posted to VeriSign SSL Certificate customers’ Web sites.
