Press Release Summary: Comodo SecureEmail is available for download and can be used
to automatically encrypt and sign all outgoing messages

Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ, November 15, 2007 - Comodo, a leading
Certification Authority and Internet security company announced today the
availability of the BETA version of SecureEmail. This PKI based solution enables
outgoing emails to be encrypted and digitally signed so that recipients can be
assured that the email has not been tampered with during transmission and is coming
from a trusted source. This functionality is critical where sensitive information is
being communicated through email and must be secured from hackers or identity
thieves.

Email is one of the most ubiquitous forms of communications and is also one of the
most vulnerable systems to attack. Comodo SecureEmail is the install-and-forget PKI
based application that can automatically encrypt and sign all messages. Featuring
full integration with Outlook, Thunderbird and other major mail clients, it features
a built-in wizard that allows users to easily download and setup a free Comodo email
certificate. Home users will benefit from the security of automatic encryption and
signing of their email while the application handles difficult or hard to remember
processes such as public- key exchange. Network administrators looking to implement
total client-to-client email security can utilize Comodo SecureEmail as a complement
to any existing gateway encryption process.

Comodo offers this solution free to help accelerate market adoption of the practice
of signing and encrypting email communications to protect users from the inherent
vulnerability of sending email over the Internet. The market has been slow to adopt
this type of solution because setting up and maintaining a secure email system has
traditionally been too complex for most users. Comodo SecureEmail was designed to
address this complexity issue and, once installed, the application will
automatically monitor all incoming and outgoing mails; can prompt if the user
attempts to send unencrypted mail and will manage the complex key exchange
procedure. Other key features include:

* Innovative session certificate:
To avoid the complicated public key exchange process normally needed for
securing and signing email, Comodo SecureEmail automatically generates a
unique, \'single-use\' session certificate to encrypt outgoing emails to
recipients whenever an email certificate is not present on the system. The
recipient can then decrypt and read the mail by either installing their own
free copy of SecureEmail or by using our online WebReader service to securely
view the message online.
* Whole journey encryption:
Many corporations use an email gateway that encrypts messages as they leave
the corporate perimeter. The problem with this approach is that it leaves
internal mail completely unprotected and vulnerable to malware, packet
sniffing and malicious insiders. Mail that is heading from the network towards
the gateway is similarly vulnerable. The only way to completely secure email
traffic is to implement client-to-client encryption i.e. mail is encrypted as
soon as it leaves the sender\'s workstation. Comodo SecureEmail fills this
potential security hole by providing whole journey encryption from sender\'s
mail client to recipient\'s mail client.
* Automatic certificate exchange, installation and updates:
SecureEmail\'s notification system ensures both sender and recipient are
updated with each others certificates. SecureEmail also automatically imports
all relevant mail settings to ensure the fastest possible set-up time.
* Built in wizard for easy sign-up and installation of a Comodo Free email
Certificate.
