Verisign

If you are currently surfing the internet it might be in part thanks to Verisign, a “provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world.” A good-sounding fact: “Verisign manages two of the world’s 13 Internet root servers, a.root-servers.net and j.root-servers.net, considered national IT assets by the U.S. Federal government.” Symantec recently purchased Verisign and adopted the former’s logo as their own. Thanks to Steven Lacoursiere for the tip.
