New Version of SAFsolution(TM) Enterprise Edition Lets Companies

Improve Network Security and Simplify Administration Through

Biometrics

(COMDEX Booth #1312) SAFLINK(R) Corporation (OTCBB:SFLK), a leading developer, marketer and integrator of biometric security solutions, today announced the release of SAFsolution(TM) Enterprise Edition 1.1, an enhanced version of the company's flagship biometric security solution for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) networks and Active Directory(R) services.

SAFsolution enables enterprises to improve security and ease network administration by replacing text-based passwords with a variety of biometric authentication methods, such as fingerprint, voice, iris, and facial recognition. The latest version allows companies to seamlessly upgrade their network security with biometrics and offers advanced new mechanisms to protect against attack.

SAFsolution lowers administration costs and improves network security by dramatically simplifying password management. Through the use of biometrics, each user's log-on is enabled by his or her physical characteristics. By eliminating the need to assign and continually change passwords, SAFsolution also makes network security more convenient for both users and IT departments alike.

"Many organizations are discovering that traditional password-based authentication systems are frustrating for users and costly to administer," said Greg Jensen, SAFLINK's Chief Technology Officer. "IT managers have been asking for a product that is specifically designed to offer biometric security methods for Windows Active Directory, and SAFsolution is our response. This product provides a complete and scalable password replacement solution that fully integrates with Active Directory. Thanks to its standards-based architecture and support for a variety of biometric hardware devices, SAFsolution also gives network administrators protection against changes in technology and the ability to utilize a wide range of biometric devices within a common network environment."

The latest version of SAFsolution Enterprise Edition joins a family of multi-biometric enterprise software solutions from SAFLINK that provides a scalable, secure and cost-effective alternative to network passwords. These include SAF2000(TM) for Windows NT networks, SAFmodule(TM) for Novell networks, and SAFaccess for Computer Associates eTrust(TM) Single Sign-On (SSO).

About SAFsolution Enterprise Edition version 1.1

SAFsolution Enterprise Edition 1.1 offers users a set of features specifically designed to couple SAFLINK's enhanced security with Microsoft networks and Active Directory. It supports more than 23 different biometric devices from 15 vendors, including fingerprint, voice, iris and facial recognition technologies, intended to provide maximum flexibility for enterprise system security.

The latest version includes the following key features:

- Seamless installation capability that is Microsoft MSI compliant. It allows administrators to easily upgrade their infrastructure to include the "power of biometric authentication" using the tools they already have in place.

- Advanced mechanisms to protect against intrusion by hackers and unauthorized users.

- Extensive Administrative Guide and user-friendly Install Wizard for server and client software components.

- Integration with Microsoft Active Directory, leveraging replication and redundancy features designed to provide the highest level of scalability and reliability required by large enterprise networks. Active Directory is a component of the Microsoft(R) Windows 2000(R) platform, which provides the means to manage the identities and relationships that make up network environments.

- Support for BioAPI, the latest multi-biometric interoperability standard, as well as a predecessor standard, the Human Authentication API. BioAPI has been approved by the American National Standards Institute as an official ANSI standard, and is on a fast track to become an international standard recognized by ISO.

- Flexible enrollment options to support rapid deployment, including a Self-Enrollment utility intended to allow users to register their own biometric credentials in Active Directory without administrative assistance, and an Administrator-Based Enrollment utility accessible through Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

- Practice Utility, a self-paced tutorial designed to help end-users familiarize themselves with the biometric enrollment and authentication process and enroll themselves without administrative assistance.

- Fast Login, a feature that enables users to bypass the user name and domain dialog box during log on, thereby speeding up the login process.

- Disconnected Login, a feature that is designed to enable mobile users to biometrically log on to their laptops in the absence of a connection to a wide area network.

- User Authority Delegation, a feature that allows several authorized users to share a common identity. User Authority Delegation includes essential audit and administrator controls not possible through traditional password sharing.

- Event auditing, which logs events related to biometric actions through an audit console. This console is integrated into the Event Viewer in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) for maximum convenience.
