The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) has welcomed the first implementation of a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) embedded within an S/MIME Certificate issued by TrustAsia, a Shanghai-based Certificate Authority (CA).

S/MIME Certificates, used for secure email communication, now contain LEIs, enhancing trust and security. LEIs offer global, reliable organizational identity data, enabling automated checks through the Global LEI Index. This integration ensures robust validation of organizational data and the identities of individuals representing the company in emails.
