WISeKey Partners With Alinghi to Digitally Secure its Defense of the America's Cup

GENEVA, November 30 - WISekey, the bespoke digital security solutions company, was today named
the sole provider of security software and services to the high tech sailing
syndicate, Alinghi, as it prepares to defend its trophy against challenger
BMW Oracle for the 33rd America's Cup in 2010.

WISeKey SA will develop state of the art digital security systems to
protect Alinghi's operations and sailing technology during the entire event.
The range of services will include securing and hosting the team's website,
creating and distributing biometric-protected electronic tokens to secure
Alinghi operational and sailing communications on site, and digital signature
certificates to eliminate environmental waste for the syndicate's
transactions and facilities. WISeKey will also provide secure accreditation
devices for all Alinghi facilities, including electronic identity credentials
and USB data storage security tokens.

"We are proud to be named the sole provider of Alinghi's electronic
security solutions," said Carlos Moreira, WISeKey's chairman and CEO.
"WISeKey and Alinghi share many values. We both deeply believe in integrity,
excellence, and first rate technology above all. And we have a knack for
building winning organizations in Switzerland."

The deal is a coup for the ten-year-old company, repeating a success
first achieved in the last America's Cup in 2007. The America's Cup is the
oldest active international sporting trophy and it is hotly contested and
very popular. The 2007 edition in Valencia captured television global
audiences of up to 200 million viewers.

During the next America's Cup, WISeKey will release its next generation
of WISeAuthentic products, including the eKey+, a portable secure ID device
to adapt the security services WISeKey provides Alinghi to industries and
governments with sensitive information, facilities, and online and off-line
events they want to improve with user-friendly and strong identity
authenticating products and services.

"We are delighted to welcome back WISeKey as a sponsor of
Alinghi for the 33rd America's Cup. As a team we need to share and access
confidential information, such as design data, so security is paramount in
our campaign to try and win the America's Cup again. Our partnership with
WISeKey will ensure that we have the optimum protection," says Ernesto
Bertarelli, Alinghi team president.

The deal with Alinghi comes at the heels of other recent successes for
WISeKey. The World Economic Forum, the foundation renowned for its annual
conference in Davos on ethics and globalization, on Sept. 10 named WISeKey a
"New Champion" among "global growth companies at the forefront of
demonstrating how entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology can relaunch
global growth." Also, this fall, WISeKey announced plans to open operations
in China and Abu Dhabi.

Alinghi rejoins a cast of WISeKey clients and partners that are diverse
and top of the line, including Microsoft, luxury watchmaker Hublot and IKEA.

WISeKey will be joining Hublot in this partnership with
Alinghi combining the breakthrough technology WISeKey has developed for
Hublot in the fight against counterfeiting.
