I saw a short piece in the Ottawa Citizen today that said VRSN's sales in the last quarter were up 134%, which is double the rate of ENTU's. So even though they are not exactly in the same business, that could explain the differential.

Figures that I've seen before suggest the business to business market (intranets & extranets) could be 5 times that of business to consumer. Also, I understand that ENTU's technology allows for non-repudiation, whereas VRSN's does not. This means that the sender of a document could not deny having sent it. This potentially could be a really big issue as secure transactions ramp up.
