BT's Trustwire 40 bit secure communications claim

[Owen O'Connor]

The product is re-badged Verisign. Officially and effectively, it's
verisign with a locacl reseller. Notice the huge similarity between it and
digitalid.verisign.com. It's also oddly more expensive than VS - and they
also admit that.
