IdenTrust is a bank consortium acting as a public key certificate authority and secure applications provider whose members include over 60 of the largest banks in the world.
Announced in 1999, its founding members included Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, Bankers Trust, Deutsche Bank, and HypoVereinsbank. Early on it opted for a technology-neutral policy, developing standards that multiple technology vendors could follow in implementing products and services for its members and customers.
