Business Wire, July 12, 2006

Authentify, Inc.:

WHO: Andrew R. Rolfe, Vice President, Research & Development,
            Authentify Mr. Rolfe is an expert in authentication and
            identity verification systems. Prior to joining
            Authentify, Mr. Rolfe was a Senior Vice President at Bank
            of America, where he was in charge of the architecture for
            the first Internet financial product for the Bank's
            largest commercial customers. He has held key technical
            and management positions at AT&T Bell Laboratories, and
            was a key member of Internet document management and
            delivery pioneers Odesta Systems Corporation and NetDox.

      WHAT: Secure Science Corp. recently reported a new Phishing
            attack that targets users of Citibank's Citibusiness
            service. The attack is unique because Citibusiness is
            protected by a token-based authentication system, in
            addition to the traditional user name and password
            security system. The attack, which uses a technique known
            as "man-in-the-middle", exposes how two-factor
            authentication can be breached.

            Authentify's Mr. Rolfe can discuss how this new form of
            attack demonstrates the need for two-way authentication
            between a user and a trusted web site that processes
            sensitive financial transactions. Mr. Rolfe can explain
            the need and application scenarios for interactive
            out-of-band authentication systems that enable account
            holders and their financial services web site to confirm
            their identity and participation in a transaction through
            a separate communication channel like an automated phone
            call.

     WHERE: Via phone
