Press Release Summary: Intel® vProT and Intel Centrino Pro processor
technology-based PCs and notebooks, incorporate Comodo SSL Certificate technology to
provide hardware authentication for remote system management.

Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ (September 4, 2007) - Comodo, one of the world\'s
largest Certification Authorities (CA) and global leader in Identity and Trust
Assurance Management solutions, today announced that it has developed and launched a
new type of SSL certificate designed in collaboration with Intel. Comodo Pro- Series
SSL Certificates are specifically designed for use with PCs based on Intel® Active
Management Technology, a feature of Intel® vProT processor technology-based PCs and
Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology-based notebooks, to provide secure
out-of-band remote system management.

Intel® vProT processor technology-based PCs and Intel® Centrino Pro processor
technology-based notebooks feature a unique management-enabling technology called
Intel® Active Management Technology. These PCs and Notebooks consists of dedicated
memory, communications channel and isolation hardware that allows authorized IT
technicians to remotely access networked Intel® vProT processor technology-based PCs
and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology-based notebooks, regardless of the
state of the OS or even in a powered-off condition.

This unique feature allows administrators to remotely view their hardware and
software assets to ascertain information such as operating system status, patch
management or the upgrade level of each machine. In the event that something goes
wrong, IT administrators can use Intel® vProT processor technology and Intel®
Centrino Pro processor technology to reduce expensive desk-side visits and even to
identify and diagnose potential problems before they cause a failure.

Intel has embedded Comodo\'s public Root Certificate into Intel® vProT processor
technology and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology firmware - enabling IT
departments that have installed a Comodo Pro-Series certificate on their setup and
configuration server to create a trusted and secure connection to their user\'s
machines.
