Not long after officially opening its new world headquarters in Austin, Texas, HID Global acquired San Francisco-based IdenTrust, a provider of interoperable digital identities that authenticate, encrypt and create electronic signatures for various types of transactions or activities.
IdenTrust is a key supplier of digital identities for the U.S. Department of Defense’s External Certification Authority (ECA) program and the General Services Administration’s Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES) program. It also provides identity management solutions to more than 20 of the world’s largest financial institutions.
