for Intel Internet Authentication Services Business

Baltimore Technologies (Nasdaq:BALT)(London:BLM), a global leader in e-security solutions, today announced that its award-winning UniCERT certificate management system will be used as a core Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology component by Intel Internet Authentication Services (IAS) business.

Intel IAS offers managed authentication services for Internet healthcare, providing a trusted online environment for communications and transactions among consumers and providers such as physicians and pharmacists. Intel IAS customers include Internet health web sites and health care provider organizations.

The Internet promises to streamline the healthcare delivery process, increasing efficiency, improving quality, and lowering costs. Intel IAS will use Baltimore's standards-based e-security products in providing a more secure online environment for communications and transactions involving confidential patient information.

Intel will manufacture and manage digital health credentials for consumers, physicians, pharmacists, and other personnel involved in healthcare delivery.

"Intel is developing a managed authentication service that allows health care service providers to focus on their core competencies and outsource an important piece of their Internet security system," said Mariah Scott, general manager of Intel Internet Authentication Services. "Baltimore's UniCERT Options provide Intel with a standards-based PKI capability that will help deliver the benefits of authentication to the Internet health community."
