Saflink Announces Licensing Agreement for NetSign for Mobile

Mobile Security Technology Will Enable Biometric Associates, Inc., to Rapidly Address the Needs of Mobile Federal Workers


KIRKLAND, Wash. — February 1, 2007 — Saflink® Corporation (NASDAQ:SFLK), a leading provider of solutions that verify identity, secure access and increase productivity, today announced a source code license agreement with Biometric Associates, Inc. (BAI), a developer of user authentication systems, for Saflink NetSign® for mobile middleware. The agreement provides BAI a non-exclusive license for use of Netsign for mobile in the development and subsequent sale of BAI’s baiMobile™ products and integrated authentication and assured identification solutions.

NetSign for mobile was designed to expand the use of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Common Access Card (CAC) to the Windows Mobile™ environment. Developed specifically for Windows Mobile-based devices,  the Saflink NetSign middleware enables CAC users to perform many of the same functions on their mobile device as available on the PC. NetSign for mobile significantly enhances security for DoD mobile workers by allowing mobile users to digitally sign, encrypt and decrypt email and documents, log on to secure Web sites and utilize other applications that require CAC authentication.

“We believe BAI will be able to effectively leverage our NetSign for mobile technology to create a compelling set of products that will help government workers securely access their networks while on the go,” said Brian Wilchusky, Vice President of Product Management, Saflink. “Keeping in line with our new corporate strategy announced in October 2006, Saflink will continue to actively pursue similar licensing deals for our authentication technologies and strive to find partners who will be able to leverage Saflink technology in key markets.”
