HID Global, a globally trusted identity solutions firm, has announced that its IdenTrust business is the #1 digital certification authority in the world, according to the latest independent research results from W3Techs, a technology survey company that consistently tracks the SSL certificate market. IdenTrust’s leap to be the market leader for digital certificates signifies only the second time in the history of the Internet that the top position for the Certification Authority has changed – first in 2015 by a competitor and now to IdenTrust after a fast-paced growth trajectory over the past two years. The W3Techs quantitative research revealed the following facts: IdenTrust is now used by 17.5% of all websites, globally. IdenTrust is also the number one SSL certificate authority overall in most European countries. Nearly 23% of all new sites use IdenTrust digital certificates. IdenTrust has issued more than 36.4% of all SSL certificates worldwide.
