PRESS RELEASE

Boston, MA & Lake Mary, FL– 16 February 2011 – GlobalSign (www.globalsign.com), ne of the leading providers of Digital Certificates worldwide, and NATION Technologies, an innovative software solutions provider, today announced a partnership to deliver an advanced data encryption solution branded as BIOWRAP' Certified by GlobalSign, which leverages GlobalSign’s Digital Certificates and NATION Technologies encryption application. The partnership will allow GlobalSign’s current and potential customers to benefit from the most advanced file security and data encryption solution available today.

GlobalSign has seen an increasing number of organizations large and small alike seek solutions to provide a secure method to exchange and protect electronic documents while in transit and at rest. This protection is not only best practice but is a regulatory requirement in the government, financial, insurance, and healthcare industries that call exclusively for the encryption of sensitive electronic information. In addition, States including Massachusetts, California, Washington, Michigan, and Nevada have enacted protection laws requiring the encryption of all sensitive personal information transmitted across public networks, transmitted wirelessly or stored on portable devices such as laptop computers or a flash drive. The BIOWRAP' Certified by GlobalSign solution immediately addresses the need for improved security and transparency to meet these requirements for the protection of sensitive electronic information.

Most alternative data encryption solutions in the market require the sender and the recipient of documents to exchange digital certificates. These solutions typically only address protection of the transmission, while BIOWRAP' Certified by GlobalSign encrypted files can be delivered by any electronic means and are always protected. BIOWRAP' encrypted files Certified by GlobalSign do not require recipients to use PKI in order to access sensitive files. Thus, providing an easy method for authorized recipients to gain access to protected GlobalSign certified electronic documents.
