VeriSign Showcases Digital Infrastructure Portfolio at 3GSM World Congress

VeriSign to Deliver new Communications, Commerce and Content Services including Mobile Payment Solution and Identity Protection for Mobile Users

BT and VeriSign Allow Mobile Users to Access Games, Software, Ringtones, Videos and more!

3GSM BARCELONA, February 12, 2007 – From technology that enables consumers to use their mobile phone to buy a sun hat on the way to the beach to the delivery of the latest entertainment over mobile and broadband connections, VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the leading provider of digital infrastructure for the networked world, today announced it will be showcasing its communications portfolio at 3GSM World Congress, including mobile commerce, digital content, and mobile security solutions designed for network operators, Internet portals, media companies and retail brands.

“Mobility continues to be of great interest to enterprises and global brands, but many are still concerned about cost-efficient mobile payment frameworks, scalable revenue-generating content delivery platforms and end-to-end security,” said Stratton Sclavos, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, VeriSign.  “Our digital infrastructure solutions allow our customers to launch new services quickly and economically, with the intelligence, scale and security necessary to deliver a compelling consumer experience.”

3GSM attendees will find a vast array of demonstrations at VeriSign’s booth (Hall 1, D59) including:

• Digital Content – VeriSign will showcase a variety of digital content services, allowing companies to deliver, manage and bill for dynamic mobile content, across and between major operator networks. British Telecom (BT) has implemented VeriSign ™ Intelligent Portal Services to deliver new mobile services to customers. Download services include games, software, ringtones, wallpapers, screensavers, video and other personalized communications services. In addition, VeriSign will also demonstrate its recently announced Intelligent Content Delivery Network (CDN). By using the VeriSign™ Intelligent CDN, service providers, media and entertainment companies can deliver high-quality entertainment to consumers without the cost and complexity of managing their own CDN infrastructure. 

VeriSign will also offer a hands-on demonstration of its Interactive Messaging Service.  See VeriSign’s 10 wireless predictions for 2007 and cast a vote for your top choice via text message or email.  The voting technology is the same technology VeriSign has implemented for top rated reality TV programs and hit game shows on major broadcast networks including this past weekend’s Grammy Awards viewed by over a billion people across the globe. 

• Mobile Commerce – VeriSign offers a comprehensive suite of mobile commerce solutions. At 3GSM, VeriSign will demonstrate for the first time its end-to-end mobile payment solution. The solution will enable consumers to make purchases from a vending machine, feed parking meters, transfer funds between savings and checking accounts and access, save and redeem coupons all from mobile devices.  VeriSign builds in the layered security necessary for consumers, operators and retailers to feel confident about mobile transactions.
• Mobile Security – Building on VeriSign’s security heritage, VeriSign will showcase its Secure Mobile Device Management Service (SMDM) which allows operators, MVNOs and enterprises to manage mobile phone security through over-the-air updates, remote data sweep for lost or stolen devices and data back-up to replace valuable information on new devices.
