AIB and Bank of Ireland are joining several leading global financial institutions in investigating the potential of Identrus, an international organisation which is working to develop a common Public Key Infrastructure that will underpin global B2B e-Commerce.
Identrus was founded in April 1999 and is dedicated to creating a worldwide network of financial institutions that can certify corporate customers as trusted online trading partners.
Member financial institutions, which include a number of major international banks, will ultimately be able to use the Identrus infrastructure to conclusively identify trading partners, ensure their communications are secure and create an indisputable record of their transactions.
