Citadel Premiers FolderBolt 3.0 Offering Powerful Data Security and Encryption for Windows 95 and NT.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 1998--Citadel Technology Inc. (OTCBB:CITN) simplifies the task of securing and encrypting file folders and data with the release of FolderBolt 3.0 for Windows 95 and NT. This robust data security product will be demonstrated at the COMDEX Spring 98 show and is expected to ship to end users by early June, 1998.

FolderBolt 3.0 is the easiest to use data security product for Windows 95 and NT because its works seamlessly with standard NT and 95 applications such as Explorer, My Computer, Network Neighborhood, e-mail, and many more. Once installed, new users can access the power of FolderBolt 3.0 by clicking on a file or folder in virtually any Windows 95 or NT dialogue box or by dragging and dropping files or folders to a desktop icon.

"With the rapid evolution of the Internet and the multi-billion dollar growth of the electronic business, the need for data security and encryption continues to increase at an accelerated pace," said Steven B. Solomon, President and CEO of Citadel Technology. "FolderBolt will fit into this expanding market and provide leading edge security to the consumer on both the Windows 95 and Windows NT platform."

Solomon added, "We are excited about this new release that further compliments our current product offerings. It is our goal and mission to make Citadel the leader in desktop and network security by continually responding to customer and market needs with superior products."

FolderBolt 3.0 is the perfect personal data security product that protects data in a shared computing environment, prevents access to data on unattended machines, and secures confidential data that is stored on removable media such as Iomega Zip(R), Jaz(R), SyQuest, LS-120, and floppies. FolderBolt 3.0 also offers many advanced features including a "Self-Decrypting Files" and "Drop Box." "Self-Decrypting files are encrypted files that can be sent electronically and decrypted on any computer with or without FolderBolt. A Drop Box is a shared folder that users may deposit files into, but only someone with the password may access the read files.

FolderBolt's encryption algorithms include: Lightning Crypt, Quick Crypt, DES, DES-CBC, and Triple DES. It also supports file "Secure Delete" which erases deleted files from the hard drive to the Department of Defense (DOD) standards. FolderBolt even protects itself by ensuring that another user cannot disable bolted or encrypted files or folders using a second copy of FolderBolt.

FolderBolt will be available with an estimated street price of $99.00. It requires a PC compatible computer with Windows 95 or Windows NT or higher. For more information, contact Citadel Technology at 800/962-0701 or visit the company's web site at http://www.citadel.com.
