Cloakware Now Deployed on More Than 500 Million Devices Worldwide.

Best-of-Breed Security Solutions Protecting the Digital Assets of Major Corporations Throughout the World

VIENNA, Va. -- Cloakware Inc., the world's leading provider of products and services to protect digital assets, today announced that the world's leading manufacturers of PCs, portable devices, mobile phones and set-top boxes have deployed the company's self-defending security solutions on more than 500 million devices.

Cloakware Robustness Solutions secure drivers, IPTV systems, games, as well as Digital Rights Management (DRM) and other content and applications. For mobile phones, PCs and set-top boxes, manufacturers include Cloakware protection in software that is pre-installed on the device, downloaded or shipped on media for installation or use with the device.

Despite the pervasiveness of Cloakware's industry leading security solutions, many of the Fortune 1000 companies and leading consumer electronics manufacturers that deploy the company's technology prefer not to be named.

"For our customers, the ability to provide a robust, reliable level of security against unauthorized file sharing, hacker attacks, piracy, reverse engineering and other security risks represents a distinct competitive advantage," said Jeff Waxman, CEO of Cloakware. "Our ability to tailor solutions to their specific needs adds flexibility that supports and enhances innovation and enables customers to develop new product lines with the confidence that they can meet or exceed DRM and other security requirements."

Cloakware is the only company offering turnkey solutions for all major content protection standards and protocols, supported on a broad range of device platforms, to enable OEMs to meet tight release deadlines with a robust product. Cloakware also provides secure interoperability between DRM systems to support transfer of licensed digital content among different devices.

In order to carry licensed digital content, OEMs need to ensure conformance with industry Robustness and Compliance Rules - a set of security measures that must be deployed into a device to ensure that all licensed content is protected from piracy. Cloakware Robustness Solutions provide the hardened SDK and key injection tools required to quickly implement content protection that meets license requirements. As a result, device manufacturers and independent software vendors (ISVs) can work with best-of-breed content protection implementations that will withstand hacker threats and continue to generate revenue.

Broad deployment is possible because Cloakware Robustness Solutions support all standard DRM systems used by the majority of consumer devices, cell phones and systems, including PCs and set-top boxes, that play copyrighted content. These standards include:

* Windows Media DRM 10 for Portable Devices (WMDRM-PD): WMDRM-PD enables secure delivery of protected content for playback on portable devices such as mobile phones and personal media players. Cloakware supports WMDRM-PD on a number of CE device platforms including Linux and Symbian operating systems on ARM and MIPS in addition to pSOS on the TriMedia chipset.

* Microsoft Windows Media DRM 10 for Network Devices (WMDRM-ND); WMDRM-NDT/NDR enables secure delivery of protected content for playback on a home entertainment network. Cloakware supports WMDRM-NDT/NDR on a number of CE device platforms including Linux on x86 chipset and pSOS on the TriMedia chipset.

* Protected Video Path - Output Protection Management (PVP-OPM) and Certified Output Protection Protocol (COPP): PVP-OPM and COPP are Microsoft protocols that authenticate graphics drivers and ensure that copy protection is reliably signaled to the graphics adapter. Cloakware secures PVP-OPM for Vista and COPP for the Windows XP SP2 operating systems.

* Digital Transmission Content Protection over Internet Protocol (DTCP-IP): DTCP-IP is a specification for the protection of copyrighted content transferred over a digital home network. Under this specification, digital content may be shared securely between devices in a user's home but not shared with third-parties outside the home network. Cloakware supports DTCP-IP on Windows XP and Vista on x86 platforms, and will support numerous CE device platforms including Linux, WinCE and Symbian operating systems on ARM, MIPS and x86 chipsets by year-end 2006.

* Open Mobile Alliance Digital Rights Management (OMA DRM): OMA DRM specifies the end-to-end protocol for distributing protected content to devices. The OMA DRM security protocols are built on a PKI infrastructure and require that both the Rights Issuer and the Devices have access to private keys, certificates and trust anchors. Cloakware supports OMA DRM on a number of CE device platforms including Linux, WinCE and Symbian operating systems on ARM, MIPS and x86 chipsets. In addition, Cloakware provides a robust cryptographic OMA solution on Windows x86 platforms.

"Cloakware has both the experience and broad expertise to analyze the robustness requirements for each device and respond with a flexible product offering that targets those needs precisely and completely," Waxman said. "Our customers' confidence in our ability to secure DRM--and ensure both content delivery and their revenue streams--is reflected in the fact that we now support 500 million devices worldwide."
