Wireless security demonstration given to attendees at RSA

(San Francisco, RSA Security Conference) April 10, 2001 - Innovative technology companies Cloakware Corporation, Certicom (Nasdaq:CERT; TSE:CIC), Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC") (Nasdaq:CICI) and Neomar, today demonstrated the industry's first biometric-enabled end-to-end PKI security solution that safeguards e-business transactions using wireless devices.

Today's demonstration illustrates how Cloakware's Tamper Resistant Software (TRS) technology is used to protect biometric signature verification software from Communication Intelligence Corp., which in turn, is used to release a digital certificate using Certicom's wireless Public Key Infrastructure (WPKI). This real-world application demonstration was performed using a standard Palm VII and the Neomar WAP-enabled browser enabled with WPKI from Certicom.

"The solution provides a user experience that is as natural and secure as signing a credit card slip which ties the individual to the transaction, rather than the device to the transaction" says Fariborz Fallah, Cloakware's President & CEO, "Cloakware's TRS is the enabling technology offering the market the first solution for a "me"-commerce society".

"The ability for consumers to use their own handwritten signatures to gain access to mobile commerce and financial services makes these services easier to use, while also enhancing security," said Greg Wolfond, Chairman, 724 Solutions Inc. "This biometric PKI solution is made possible through the cooperation of some great companies and their winning technologies, and 724 Solutions is proud to have been the catalyst that brought these key players together."

The biometric PKI solution is the culmination of research and development of secure software-based cryptographic key storage with biometric access control first undertaken by 724 Solutions with Cloakware and CIC in 1999.

"Adding a biometric component to Certicom's leading PKI solution further safeguards m-commerce transactions," said Prakash Panjwani, Vice President of Business Development of Certicom. "Certicom continues to provide its leading security for the industry's most cutting edge solutions that address the critical issues associated with today's wireless economy."

This secure wireless solution is completely unique and offers various benefits for today's brokerage firms, trading exchanges, and e-businesses. The need for up-to-the minute secure mobile access for those needing to make transactions quickly, no matter their location is one example, but the benefits for e-businesses include lower operational costs such as a 75% savings in credit card service charges as a result of the reduced fraud risk.

"Our partners and customers need to deploy a wireless solution that offers end users peace of mind that their transactions are absolutely secure, and this solution provides them with that peace of mind," said William R. "Butch" Winters, Neomar CEO. "Neomar has demonstrated its commitment to delivering secure solutions by being the first company to deploy WPKI in our browser, which enables digital signatures on wireless devices to become a reality."

"A higher level of non-repudiation protection can be provided through the use of biometric technology, stated Guido DiGregorio, CIC's President & CEO. "Combining tamper resistant software, biometrics and cryptography protects users from fraud in the most vulnerable of environments and makes the implementation of electronic transactions and correspondence as natural as signing your name."
