ECHOWORX JOINS SUN MICROSYSTEMS TO DEMONSTRATE UNIQUE EMAIL ENCRYPTION SOLUTION AT RSA CONFERENCE

TORONTO, Ontario - February 13, 2006 Echoworx Corporation, a leading provider of security software products for electronic communications, today announced it will demonstrate its Secure Mail technology, currently available from Verizon, at the Sun Microsystems booth (#515) at the RSA conference February 13-17, 2006 in San Jose, California. The Secure Mail solution is managed by Sun and powered by the e-mail encryption software technology of Echoworx. Verizon is the first carrier to introduce Echoworx's encryption software solution, called Verizon Secure Mail, to the mass market.

"Gaining access to private data and personal information has become a very lucrative business for hackers, and with bolstered security on networks and systems today, email is often the easiest target," said Micheal Ginsberg, CEO of Echoworx. "The world has been sending and receiving email for over thirty years, and only now are business owners and consumers realizing that email really is not secure, and can be intercepted or tampered with without knowledge of the sender or recipient. Verizon Secure Mail delivers desktop to desktop, industry-standard encryption technology that is easy to use, and seamlessly integrates into existing, familiar email environments, enabling everyone to protect their email communications."

Verizon Secure Mail meets the trusted encryption standards (PKI, X.509, S/MIME) that allow emails to be sent securely. The service also verifies that the message has not been altered, ensures that the message can be opened only by the intended recipient, and authenticates the identity of the sender. For more information on the service, stop by the booth at RSA, or visit: www.business.verizon.net/securemail.
