HID Global continues to garner accolades for its IdenTrust digital certification platform, announcing that the software service has been named the “number one certification authority in the world” for the second year running.

The distinction comes courtesy of the independent survey company W3Techs, which also selected IdenTrust as the world’s fastest-growing digital certification platform one year ago. According to HID Global, IdenTrust has doubled that fast-growing user base in the twelve months since, and is now used by nearly a third (31.1 percent) of all websites.

“HID’s IdenTrust digital certificates once again prove to be the most trusted in the world,” said HID Global’s IAM VP and Managing Director Brad Jarvis. “Continuing the solid growth of our IdenTrust user base, HID Global provides digital certificate services from a secure and scalable platform as part of the widest range of authentication solutions in the industry.”

The latest news offers further evidence of HID Global’s rapid gains in the identity verification sector. The company was the top seller on the Temenos Marketplace in 2018, suggesting that governments, financial institutions, and other sensitive organizations have a high level of trust in the security solutions provider. The recent praise for IdenTrust should bolster that reputation as the need for authentication services continues to expand.
