WISeKey Revenue and Competitors

WISeKeyÔ is a privately owned company based in Geneva, Switzerland that provides Root Certification Authority services to Certification Authorities worldwide. Being synonymous for a "World Internet Secure Infrastructure", it solves the business problem of providing business trust globally, across any national or organizational boundary. It does so by offering the underlying global trust model and by building the foundation for a worldwide "web of trust" for existing and new Certificate Authorities that are cross certified by referring back to the WISeKey Root CA. The trustworthiness of WISeKey's services is based on their carefully orchestrated security practices and procedures used exclusively for the issuance of high-security certificates to Certification Authorities and other entities that form part of the operational services of the globally interoperable PKI below it. As part of WISeKey's security procedures, the Global Root Private Cryptographic Key used to issue certificates is stored in an off-line high-security facility deep in the Swiss Alps, operational since December 1999. With such high-security infrastructure in place, WISeKey has signed a partnership agreement with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to promote the deployment of PKI in 188 countries to enable them to participate in the E-Commerce growth. Through the provision of an internationally recognized PKI technology, WISeKey enables companies worldwide to securely develop their Internet strategies without being restricted by national borders any longer and benefit from it within their B2B, B2C and B2G communication and transactions. HP and WISeKey closely cooperate in designing, implementing and supporting "HP/WISeKey Trusted PKI" solutions worldwide alongside defined WISeKey guidelines and policies.
