Original Press Release:



Validian Announces World's First Secure Authenticated Send & Receive (SASR) Solution with Embedded Application Authentication and Application-to-Application Encryption



Validian SASR Is a First-to-Market Solution That Guarantees the Secure Exchange of Sensitive Data and IP, Including Digital 'Hollywood' Motion Pictures and Television Programming, Music, Credit Card Information, and Confidential Patient, Employee, Corporate and Government Information

OTTAWA, March 28 / -- Validian Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: VLDI) , a leader in application security software and solutions, announced today the general availability of Validian SASR, the world's first and only secure authenticated send and receive solution with embedded application authentication and application-to-application encryption. Validian SASR will be marketed and sold through channel partners initially to the entertainment, government, transportation and health industries.

Today, even when private-sector and government entities employ all of the varied and sophisticated Internet security solutions available in the market, the failure to authenticate applications and to utilize application-to- application encryption exposes their sensitive data and Intellectual Property (IP), such as digital Hollywood motion pictures and television programming, music, credit card information, and confidential patient, employee, corporate and government information, to piracy, theft, loss, interception and unwanted leaks.

Select entertainment, government, healthcare and transportation organizations currently are utilizing a controlled release version of Validian SASR. For these companies, Validian SASR is replacing alternatives that are less secure, less convenient, or more costly such as fax, courier, file transfer protocol (FTP), email, or SSL.

Commenting on the announcement, Bruce Benn, CEO of Validian Corporation, stated, "We are in very active and on-going discussions with numerous movie and music producers, health and transportation executives, and government officials about deploying Validian's security and encryption solutions. Their enthusiasm is heightened because, despite utilizing the best network and Internet security and encryption solutions available in the market today, greater than 75% of all feature films available on the Internet have been stolen or leaked during production; greater than 90% of all music downloads over the Internet have not been paid for; and, the lack of secure electronic delivery methods has forced government and healthcare and transportation companies to use expensive and error-prone manual delivery processes and data entry to transfer their confidential patient, employee and corporate data. Validian SARS is the world's first solution to meet all of these data transport security challenges."

Validian SASR transforms any user's desktop or mobile PC into a secure communication facility for uploading sensitive, proprietary information to a shared repository. The solution also transforms any server into an efficient download manager that simplifies the distribution of proprietary files to authorized users.

Validian's SASR consists of: an intuitive, easy-to-use client application that can perform either two- or three- factor (with appropriate biometric support) authentication of end-users; and a robust server management application. Both components leverage Validian ASI, the Company's application security foundation which provides services such as application authentication, IP-independent application addressing, automated key generation and management, as well as encryption and decryption within the communicating applications, and data compression. Validian ASI not only delivers advanced security functions that can be easily embedded within applications but also automates many cumbersome security-related tasks and improves the productivity of operations staff.
