    of Consumer Secrets, Such As Credit Card Numbers and Passwords

When: October 9-11, 2002

Where: Digital ID World Conference 2002 - Denver, Colorado
       Hyatt Regency Tech Center

Why: Consumers face yet another pesky worm or virus that threatens to
    steal precious personal data held on the PC. To inoculate the PC
    from such threats, Wave Systems has developed "trusted" PC
    keyboards and smart card readers that make the Internet experience
    more secure and easy to use.

    Alerts about malevolent PC viruses and worms are becoming as
    frequent as the "flavor of the month." Just as the technology
    community has finally recognized the limitations of software-only
    defenses, Wave Systems is introducing TrustEdge PC input devices
    providing a stronger, hardware-based defense system which can
    secure the PC --- and focuses on prevention.

    TrustEdge, a security and commerce solution for input devices
    built on the open and field programmable EMBASSY(R) security
    platform from Wave Systems, enables input devices to handle
    multi-factor authentication and identity credentials including
    passwords/PINs, smart cards, magnetic stripe cards and tokens.
    TrustEdge can be easily integrated into a wide range of input
    devices such as keyboards, smart card readers, biometric readers
    and cell phones.

Who: Wave CEO, Steven Sprague, and other members of senior management
    are available at Digital ID World to brief the media in person or
    by phone on the key issues in PC security and the TrustEdge
    Security Solution.
