Business/Technology Editors

SAN JOSE and SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2000

Partnership Enables Entertainment and

Advertising Firms to Conduct Multi-party Trusted Digital Commerce

ASPSecure and Massive Media Group, Inc. today announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to develop and deliver products and services to the entertainment and advertising markets incorporating Digital Rights Management (DRM) capabilities. The companies intend to provide trusted digital commerce solutions based partly on InterTrust Technologies Corporation's (Nasdaq: ITRU) MetaTrust(TM) Utility that enable parties to define rules governing the authorized use of any kind of digital information and to have those rules enforced whenever and wherever use takes place.

Precisely because of the immense and growing distribution capacity of the Internet, unauthorized use, theft of digital assets, and piracy, let alone unintentional disclosure and the actions of disgruntled employees, are crucial concerns to the entertainment and advertising industries. With workforce collaboration such an important factor in today's business environment, especially in areas such as film and television production and ad creation, ideas are, of course, the golden commodity. A single misdirected email with a screenplay attached or containing a campaign concept could spell the difference between success and failure in the entertainment and advertising worlds.

To address these pervasive threats to commerce and intellectual property, one of the first applications to be offered though this partnership is ASPSecure's TrustData(TM) Secure email. Using this product, companies will be able to communicate internally and over the Internet with full confidence that their valuable ideas and digital assets will only be used by authorized recipients and in authorized ways. TrustData Secure email and attachments can only be read by the intended recipients, and any rules regarding copying, printing, and modification are rigorously enforced. In conjunction with the email system, biometric authentication may also be incorporated into the communications process where even higher levels of trust and security are required. Biometric authentication, including such techniques as fingerprint verification, retinal scans and voice recognition technology, will be available from both companies as part of ASPSecure's TrustData(TM) family of DRM products.

In its most basic form, sending trusted email means you have the ability to put text, attachments, and rules governing use into a cryptographically secure DigiBox(TM) container. Using a standard e-mail application and other DRM components, valuable digital information will be persistently protected from unauthorized use. The DRM solutions offered by Massive Media and ASPSecure combine these capabilities regardless of where digital information may reside or how it was delivered.

"The ability to manage transactions - starting with email and continuing to rich entertainment media - through protection of intellectual property, confidential communications and secure revenue streams are essential to the continued success of the digital revolution," said Howard Weitzman, CEO, Massive Media. "By teaming with ASPSecure, Massive Media can provide our entertainment and advertising clients with the means to conduct digital commerce in a secure, trusted environment."

"We are excited about our strategic partnership with Massive Media. Each member has a unique perspective in the entertainment and advertising arena, and all are recognized and well respected in the industry," said Larry McArthur, chairman and CEO of ASPSecure. "The ASPSecure/Massive Media team can provide the ability for clients to continually control and protect their digital assets and confidential communications on a global basis through and beyond the Internet."
