Safelayer Consolidates its Strategic Alliance With Indra for Citizen e-ID/e-Passport Solutions

Both Companies Foresee an Increase in Demand for the new Generations of Citizen Identification Solutions for the Coming Years

BARCELONA, March 30, 2010 - Safelayer Secure Communications (www.safelayer.com) -
leader in the security and trust market for information and communication
technologies - consolidates its strategic alliance with the multinational
Indra for its international expansion. The companies are currently working
together to speed up deployments of their Citizen e-ID and e-Passport
solutions in Latin America.

With more than ten years' experience in the security market,
Safelayer is in full swing with its international expansion, something for
which it has teamed up with partners such as Indra. As part of its strategy,
Safelayer collaborates with consulting and integration firms as technological
partners to assure the integration and interoperability of its security
products and solutions for national and international clients.

Safelayer's PKI technology is being used in the world's
biggest citizen identification project, the Spanish National Electronic
Identity Card (DNIe). Headed by Indra, this project has a scope of over 40
million citizens, for which 14 million e-ID cards have already been issued.
According to Francisco Jordan, Safelayer's CEO and cofounder, "citizen
identification infrastructures are strategic for government administrations.
Furthermore, the next generation of security standards in which Safelayer is
working will give the e-IDs the capability for secure identification over the
Internet and personal data protection using cryptographic privacy systems and
advanced electronic signature."

According to Juan Carlos Batanero, director of Security
Systems at Indra, "with Indra technology, any state can create automatic
border control systems that provide the quick and automatic inspection of ID
documents making use of the biometrics stored in the documents' chips. The
facial and fingerprint recognition processes of these systems combined with
the public-key cryptography-based security mechanisms implemented by
passports, ID cards and inspection systems support the swift, secure and
guaranteed identification of document holders."

Safelayer is also working to introduce new advances in its
solutions for citizen identification and first and second generation
electronic passports (ICAO BAC and EAC e-Passports), underlining its capacity
to provide a complete set of the PKI components for deploying this type of
critical infrastructure. The company was the first to announce the technology
for setting up the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) service, a critical
component of the security infrastructure for deploying the new electronic
passports in Europe and around the world, facilitating the interconnection of
national PKIs.

In 2009, Safelayer received international recognition from the
business research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan for its global
marketing strategy for public key infrastructures (PKI). Safelayer is
currently focusing on digital identification and certification projects and
trust services for governments and certification services providers in a
number of global markets. As a market leader, Safelayer has established new
commercial agreements in the Italian and Polish markets, thus consolidating
its distribution channel that comprises 21 VARs in countries including
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Portugal, France and Morocco.
