Veridicom Announces Key European Patent for Its Trusted Sensor

Veridicom International Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VRDI) today announced that the Examining Division of the European Patent Office intends to grant Veridicom a European patent for its
high security biometric authentication process using trusted sensors.

"Trusted sensors are an important part of our product roadmap and this pending patent further validates our strategy," stated Paul Mann, President & CEO of Veridicom International Inc. "Our recently announced VKI product leverages this strategy and is the first step in providing strong authentication within a portable, convenient, and user-friendly experience.
We believe that this key pending patent award is truly a significant milestone for Veridicom and will open up many new business opportunities," added Mr. Mann.

This pending patent adds a trusted sensor for authentication of biometric information used in an encryption system. The use of a trusted sensor enhances the security and integrity of an authentication system. Specifically, the trusted sensor includes a microprocessor, a memory module, a cryptographic library module, a biometric extraction/matching module, and an
authentication module used within an encryption system. Our VKI product is an example of this concept put into practice. Other potential modifications, enhancements, and integration opportunities for this patent include integration with smart card systems, integration with transaction systems, and the ability to send and receive messages securely.

"Veridicom is committed to protecting our intellectual property and enhancing its IP portfolio through new investments in technology" add Mr. Mann. "We believe this patent provides significant opportunities for Veridicom for integration with our future products as well as future licensing and royalty streams with third parties."

Veridicom holds a variety of patents and pending patent applications for biometric technology, processes, and systems.
