[edit] Betrusted - found this interesting

If you're talking banking and large amounts of money, then you're into another whole world, where the procedures used to set up a CA in a vault, etc., matter greatly and have to be properly managed, with proper records. One key element is making sure no one was alone in position to potentially compromise the security of the CA server. You may well issue certificates offline (by courier?) in a situation like this. You want very good verification of identity, so you don't wire-transfer millions to an offshore bank account. The U.S. Federal Reserve checks banks that set up CA's, and doing it right costs at least $1-2 million. The consultancy Betrusted (www.betrusted.com)started with that as one special area of expertise. They were spun off from PricewaterhouseCoopers and bought by One Equity Partners, private equity arm of Bank One.
