       Re:   VeriSign, Inc. Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement
             on Form S-3 (File No. 333-76386)

Dear Ms. Jacobs:

         VeriSign, Inc. (the "Company") hereby requests to withdraw its
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-76386) (the "Registration
Statement") filed with the Commission on January 7, 2002, pursuant to Rule 477
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has elected to acquire
LiveWire Corporation in an all cash transaction rather than with shares of its
common stock, the resales of which were registered on this Registration
Statement. No securities were sold in connection with the offering. Accordingly,
the Company requests an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration
Statement to be issued by the Commission as soon as possible.

         Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (650) 426-5276
with any questions you may have regarding the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

VeriSign, Inc.
