Touch of a Mouse

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (December 20, 2005) - Comodo Inc., a global
leader in Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, announced today that
Boiling Springs Savings Bank, a New Jersey chartered financial institution, will
employ Comodo's innovative "See, Verify, Trust" (SVT) technology to help customers
validate the authenticity of its Web site, ensuring it is safe to make banking
transactions online.

Online banking is one of today's greatest conveniences, but threats of identity
theft that stem from phishing emails and hacked as well as phony Web sites have
hindered consumers' trust in banking over the Internet. As cyber criminals become
more sophisticated in their attack methods, passwords alone are not effective enough
to safeguard sensitive information. Utilizing Comodo's SVT technology, Boiling
Springs Savings Bank's Web content can now easily be authenticated as the real
thing. Additionally, SVT takes a proactive rather than reactive approach to phishing
that enables the bank to better protect critical customer information in online
banking transactions.

"Protecting our customer's identity is always a top priority for Boiling Springs
Savings Bank. We want our customers to know they can trust us to provide a secure
environment in both the real and virtual worlds for their financial transactions,\"
said Ken Emerson, Boiling Springs Savings Bank's Chief Information and Technology
Officer. "Comodo's 'Secure, Trust, Verify' technology validates our commitment and
provides a solution in which we have every confidence it will ensure a secure online
banking experience for our customers."

Similar to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, SVT technology is delivered
through Content Verification Certificates (CVC), which are created, distributed, and
revoked using proven Public Key Infrastructure methods to provide the highest level
of security for Web page content. Yet, CVCs also enhance the security levels
provided by SSLs by adding a pertinent component to the online experience - trust.
By applying CVCs to specified content, such as the Boiling Springs Savings Bank
logo, log-in boxes and rate pages, consumers can verify if the content is genuine by
dragging their mouse cursor over these items. If the site is authentic, a bright
green border will outline the Internet interface window. In order to make this work,
consumers need to simply download Comodo's free VerificationEngineT software from
its Web site (www.comodogroup.com).

"We are pleased to be able to provide Boiling Springs Savings Bank with a
first-class Identity and Trust Assurance solution for its online customer base,"
said Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO of Comodo. "Our Content Verification
Certificate solution will allow Boiling Springs to maintain confidence and trust
among its consumers thus increasing online transactional volume as well as build
awareness that it is truly a leader in customer-care and security."
