Press Release Summary: Industry leaders, like PKWARE, look to Comodo for PKI
integration to power their leading edge solutions

Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ (June 12, 2008) - Comodo, one of the world\'s
largest Certification Authorities (CA) and a global leader in Identity and Trust
Assurance Management solutions, today announced that PKWARE, a leading data security
software company, has chosen Comodo to provide integrated PKI security features with
its recently launched SecureZIP 12.1 product. SecureZIP 12.1 can automatically
request and install a Comodo digital certificate on a user\'s PC, allowing secure
file and e-mail exchange. Comodo digital certificates are also used to digitally
sign documents and e-mail messages, assuring recipients that they are authentic.

Another outcome of the Comodo-PKWARE partnership was the development and deployment
of the SecureZIP Global Directory - a depository of public keys for SecureZIP users.
This directory facilitates the highly secure information exchange associated with
digital certificates by allowing users to obtain the public key associated with an
e-mail recipient\'s digital certificate. Comodo, one of the world\'s largest issuers
of digital certificates also plans to give its digital certificate customers the
option of participating in this directory later this year.

Tim Kennedy, President and COO of PKWARE commented: \"Our customers are demanding
ever-higher levels of security without sacrificing ease of use. Comodo\'s core
competence in PKI and skill in integration helped us deliver a world-class security
product for both businesses and consumers.\" Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief
Security Architect of Comodo added: \"Our deep experience in PKI enables us to add
the value of enhanced security and trust to a wide range of software, hardware, and
services. As the world becomes increasingly Internet dependent, PKI and digital
certificates are fast becoming an important part of every business and household. We
are proud of the role we\'re playing to make the Internet safer and more trusted.\"
