FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vadium Technology and Ireland’s Howe Systems Announce
Initiative to support Multi-Agency Coordination and Interoperability


TACOMA, WA and Arklow, County Wicklow, IRELAND– September 11, 2007
Vadium Technology, Inc. a leading provider of easy to use, unbreakable data security and
privacy solutions and Howe Systems, one of Europe’s leading providers of secure
software applications and technology management services, today announced a new
initiative targeted to meet critical inter-agency communication challenges faced by
today’s first responders and military forces.

“Our clients have been struggling with this for a long time,” said David Howe, CEO of Ireland
based Howe Systems. “They have deployed sophisticated security and privacy systems that
protect data communications within their organizations only to find that the same solutions that
protect communications within the organization make it hard to communicate securely with other
organizations. This is a real challenge as we see many different first response organizations—
fire, police, military, emergency command, all trying to securely and privately communicate with
each other while still protecting secure communications within their own separate organizations.
Vadium’s AlphaCipher Encryption Suite offers an ideal set of tools to craft the perfect solution.”
“We have also been watching this problem for years,” said Wolfgang Hammersmith, CEO of
Vadium Technologies. “We have designed our AlphaCipher Encryption Suite to allow secure
communications between members of a dynamic group where members come together from
different organizations for a specific purpose and period of time. With Howe Systems, we have
the ability to craft a solution configured for any group of users.”

Today, most secure communications solutions rely on a combination of hardware security and
math-based encryption solutions to protect private communications. While these systems may
lead to secure communication within an organization, the lack of a common security protocol has
made it difficult for one agency or organization to share information with another. The solutions
adopted by one organization are simply incompatible with other solutions, and the cost to achieve
interoperability has been prohibitive.

Working together, Vadium and Howe Systems will be able to deliver configured solutions that
compliment existing secure communications investments. In some circumstances, the solution
may be one of Vadium’s AlphaCipher packaged solutions. In others, the ideal solution may
involve custom applications built around the AlphaCipher Software Developers Kit. All
solutions are designed to operate over public networks using Vadium’s patent-pending
AlphaCipher Digital One-Time Pad encryption solution.

“We know that challenge of comprehensive interoperability is truly complex,” said Howe. “But
we have the tool kit to build the right solution. By combining our extensive experience with
Vadium’s incredibly flexible yet secure encryption solution, we know we can solve this critical
problem.

Introduced at the DSEi Conference in London, the partners intend to make this initiative a
primary focus of their marketing activities through the fall and into 2008.
