It integrates scalable, high performance security services throughout the e-business infrastructure, making it possible for companies to design and implement intelligent, self-defending networks. In addition, Cisco's SAFE is enhanced by a rich ecosystem of third-party products, solutions and services, of which Entrust Technologies' family of public-key infrastructure (PKI) solutions is a part.

The Cisco Security and VPN Associate Program anchors this ecosystem, providing customers with interoperable, tested and certified security solutions based on Cisco's industry-leading security products and third-party security products. This proven ecosystem of complementary products assures customers that their networks will be secure for e-Business.

"Entrust's interoperable, certificate-based VPN solutions, enroll both users and Cisco VPN devices, such as the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall, into the PKI so they can then authenticate each other to provide more optimal security."

"Large-scale user and device authentication solutions are mandatory for deploying efficient e-business networks today," said Greg Mayfield, manager of business development in the Cisco VPN and Security Services business unit. "Entrust is an industry-leader in providing world-class PKI solutions for large networks and their support of the SAFE security blueprint is of tremendous benefit to enterprise customers."

MOTOROLA INC - Entrust Technologies and Motorola Team to Deliver Comprehensive - Wireless Solutions
Toronto, Ontario, Sep. 26, 2000 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Motorola and Entrust Work to Accelerate Delivery of Trusted

Wireless Transactions Entrust Technologies Inc., a global leader in solutions that bring trust to e-business, and Motorola announced a broad strategic agreement to develop and market their integrated mobile commerce solutions for secure and trusted wireless communications and transactions worldwide.

Under the agreement, Entrust and Motorola intend to work together to develop next-generation wireless solutions for mobile phones and devices such as pagers, two-way radios, smartphones and communicators. Motorola's devices will work with Entrust's industry-leading public-key infrastructure (PKI) products to secure transactions and communications. These joint solutions will enable consumers and business users to securely confirm the identities of those they are doing business with, engage in private and confidential communications, access personalized services, confirm and sign banking and other business transactions, purchase goods and services and trade stock through Motorola's wireless handsets and wireless Internet gateways. In particular, these integrated solutions will allow users to execute payment transactions using their wireless devices as secure payment terminals.

Initially, Entrust.net Inc.'s WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) root CA certificates will be provided to Motorola for embedding within Motorola's wireless handsets and wireless Internet gateways setting the foundation for the delivery of trusted services. In addition, the two companies intend to develop solutions for validating users' identities and digital signatures on transactions. The companies will also cooperate in the development of scalable user-registration services, which will take advantage of Entrust's leading automated registration capabilities.

Finally, as part of the agreement between Entrust and Motorola, Entrust is developing a new Entrust.net service to issue certificates using the elliptic-curve algorithm in order to leverage the performance gains of elliptic-curve cryptography and the benefits of certificate-based authentication and authorization, to enable Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to become a trusted e-commerce terminal for mobile users.

"The integration of Entrust's certificate and PKI technology, with our extensive line of innovative web-enabled mobile devices will give our customers the convenience and confidence of engaging in a new range of secure wireless services and transactions," said Yvonne Verse, vice president and director, Data Solutions Platform Technology and 3rd Party Developer Support, Personal Networks Group, Motorola Inc. "By being the first major wireless handset manufacturer to announce root certificate integration directly into our handsets, Motorola once again is demonstrating our ability to lead the wireless Internet revolution."

"We are extremely pleased to have signed a broad strategic agreement with Motorola, one of the world's largest cellular phone manufacturers," said Mark Perry, vice-president, Business Development, Global Wireless Solutions, Entrust Technologies Inc. "This strategic relationship reinforces our strength and position as leaders in the delivery of secure solutions for wireless. We are certainly looking forward to the day when Internet users can execute secure payments using their Motorola wireless devices."

The ongoing work between Motorola and Entrust reinforces Entrust's leadership position in the exploding wireless market. Entrust.net was first to deliver WAP server certificates and Entrust was first to deliver the Entrust/getAccess Mobile Solution for secure access to dynamic Web applications and services at wireless portals. Entrust's comprehensive trusted e-business infrastructure helps organizations establish and expand business relationships via a single, scalable solution and enables people to access critical business services anytime, anywhere and anyhow with a wide variety of devices, including desktop PCs, cell phones, PDAs and other mobile devices and Internet appliances.
