Document Security AuthentiGuard(R) Pantograph 4000(TM) Used by Boise(R) BEWARE(R) Meets October 1, 2008 Federal Medicaid Guidelines Requiring Tamper-Resistant Prescription Paper.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE Alternext U.S.: DMC) a leader in proven, patented protection against counterfeiting and unauthorized copying, scanning and photo imaging, announced today that Boise BEWARE complies with federal guidelines for paper-based security in Medicaid papers. Boise BEWARE utilizes AuthentiGuard[R] Pantograph 4000[TM], a technology developed by Document Security Systems.

According to the federal mandate for tamper-resistant prescription pads, papers were required to meet three criteria by October 1, 2008. Boise BEWARE meets all three characteristics required. Boise BEWARE is the anti-copy/anti-scan paper manufactured by Boise Inc. (NYSE: BZ).

The enhanced Boise BEWARE newest feature is a coin-reactive, artificial watermark on the back of the sheet. When a coin is rubbed over the back of the sheet, the words BOISE BEWARE will appear. This feature is not reproducible on a copier, fax, scanner or laser printer.

Boise BEWARE's new tamper resistant feature enhances the product, which already included:

* An industry-recognized feature designed to prevent unauthorized copying of a completed or blank prescription form. BEWARE has this feature: VOID, COPY or UNAUTHORIZED COPY appears when duplication is attempted.

* An industry-recognized feature designed to prevent the erasure or modification of information written on the prescription by the prescriber. BEWARE has this feature: When erasure occurs, it is evident on the paper as ink is removed in the spot where alteration is attempted.

"Boise BEWARE has met the federal mandate effective October 1, 2008," said Steve Kanda, brand manager, BEWARE. "The health care industry can have confidence that BEWARE's superior anti-copying technology is compliant. Boise will continue to go the extra mile to provide the quality our customers have come to expect."

"We are proud of our continued association with Boise Inc., a leader in the production of innovative paper-based technologies, in helping to meet the federal guidelines designed to prevent prescription fraud," commented Patrick White, Document Security Systems' Chief Executive Officer.

In addition to medical prescriptions, Boise BEWARE is also commonly used for legal documents, coupons, business contracts, copyrighted materials and visitor badges. The product features color tinted, acid-free sheets, and comes in 8.5"x11" and 25"x38" sizes. The product is also available in custom colors and varying weights of paper, as well as custom hidden words.
