Symantec and Verisign

[Suicidal Fish]

Companies that use these companies to process there payments don't use VBV, Secure By Mastercard etc.

Does anybody know much about these systems and how they get around using it?

I don't think anyone is required to use VBV, it's an opt in thing. Maybe Visa incentivises merchants to do though additional chargeback protection or something but their site says it's only at participating retailers.

As for Verisign, as far as I know they just issue SSL certs. SSL is a security protocol that uses a trusted authority (verisign, there are other) to guarantee the identity of participants in a transaction (usually just website hosts, clients don't need their identity verified usually).

I am looking for a list of companies that use them as there is no VBV etc.

I may just email them
