If GeoTrust is Verisign, why do they make a big deal out of competing
with Verisign?

As someone who has dealt extensively with GeoTrust, I can assure you, they
are not owned by Verisign. They're a totally separate company that has the
old equifax root cert.
Thanks,

And Chevy competes with Pontiac and Buick. Your point?
Agreed. I used Equifax before they handed off to Geotrust. Both have done
a good job and are less painful (& less expensive) to deal with than
VeriSign. I've never had to interact with either beyond purchasing single
web certs at a time though.
