Press Release Summary = Provides robust platform to enable enterprise to acquire,
manage and authenticate Email communications

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (March 27, 2006) Comodo, a global leader in
Identity and Trust Assurance Management Solutions, today announced the acquisition
of the Intellectual Property and assets of Indicii Salus Limited a leading London
based security software house.


This acquisition strengthens Comodo's position as a leading player in secure
communication and email messaging through encryption, authentication and management
so that users can be secured and confidential. With this acquisition, Comodo has
further extended its Identity and Trust Assurance solution suite to enable
verifiable and secure digital communications, collaboration and commerce.

The core technology acquired under this acquisition includes Indicii Salus Limited's
flagship security solution which, unlike other PKI offerings, is based on
server-centric architecture with all information held securely in a central location
thus providing a central platform necessary to host and administer central key
management solutions. The central management and distribution of secure email
communications is performed through a Private Key Server which is a robust portable
encryption engine generating the public/private key pairs required to encrypt and
then decrypt the messages after receipt. The software acquired includes the email
client plug-ins necessary to use the service. This proprietary software is thus able
to provide a central encryption and management capability which in turn allows
central authentication and management of private keys.


Further, this technology encrypts email between the client and server for secure
transport and thereby it ensures integrity and confidentiality. The cryptography
features of the software work across all portability platforms, is object-orientated
and integrates support for algorithm replacement. From a user point of view, the
encryption process is quick, even when a user is using slow dial-up lines. The
applications offered by this proprietary software promote substantial savings in
administration and the cost effectiveness of digital security across email platforms
in that apart from the one-off client plug-in all management is central and
performed on the Private Key Server where all security information is held.


This model is regarded as operating a superior generation of encryption software
which offers users the autonomy to perform safe and secure transactions from any
device from any location. This significantly promotes secure email user
confidentiality and enables users to sign messages digitally with very secure public
key technologies which, from a user's perspective, is seamless and non disruptive.
The technology is designed primarily to serve as a digital-signature and
certificate-based message integrity security tool for corporate environments however
the software potentially offers a number of other important security applications
across PDAs, GSM and mobile telephones as well as from any platform-based PC.

Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO, President and Chief Security Architect of Comodo Group,
believes; "This technology provides Comodo with added benchstrength in our
enterprise offerings for authenticated and secure email communications. It relieves
companies of having to invest in a complex public key infrastructure and most
importantly, this simple, transparent technology provides the confidentiality
companies want for their email transactions."
