The World's First Complete Encrypted Streaming Media™ Security Solution Now Available for Financial Institutions, the Health Care Industry, the Aerospace Industry, Manufacturers, Governments, Educational Institutions, and Others Streaming Private, Proprietary, Valuable Content and Data

Seattle, WA, February 6, 2001 – Communications security is a top priority for every Information Technology professional, and now they're armed with a potent new weapon - Widevine Cypher Enterprise.™

Widevine Cypher Enterprise, launched today by communications security and network technology company Widevine Technologies, is a new Encrypted Streaming Media™ product designed specifically for "enterprise" customers: corporations with major information technology infrastructures who rely on the Internet and private networks for communications, content distribution, data sharing and other purposes. Widevine Cypher Enterprise secures valuable proprietary and confidential streaming media content for companies of all sizes.

"The explosive growth of industrial espionage, coupled with expanding use of streaming media communications in business, has spawned an urgent need for corporate communications security," said John Beyer, CEO. "Industrial espionage and security breaches take place everyday. From the aerospace industry to finance, from educational institutions to the health care industry, information technology professionals need to secure their communications and streaming media. Widevine Cypher Enterprise empowers information technology professionals in the U.S. and around the world to secure and retain control of their valuable content."

"Widevine Cypher Enterprise makes the power of the world's only Encryption on the Fly™ streaming media security technology available to companies of all sizes for the first time. We developed Widevine Cypher Enterprise specifically for enterprise customers who are not traditionally considered to be in the streaming media business. These companies use streaming to support their other operations with distance training, videoconferencing, and other applications. They're already using this technology on a regular basis in their normal course of business - or would like to, if only communications security issues could be addressed."

Features of Widevine Cypher Enterprise:

• Complete transparency on both the server and client end, allowing customers to continue using the hardware and software they already own.
• Full compatibility with all current standards-based streaming media technologies, including RealMedia, Windows Media, QuickTime and MPEG.
• "On the Fly" DES-X encryption gives each stream its own encryption key for maximum security and allows streaming of live events and real-time broadcasts.
• Client-side security and monitoring prevents streams from being captured by shutting down streams automatically when hack-attacks are detected.
• Modular client shim design allows easy development and instant deployment of new encryption algorithms, enhanced client side security technology, custom back-channel data communications and much more.
