NET NANNY SOFTWARE INTEGRATES PATENTED BIOPASSWORD BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY WITH NOVELL ACCESS AND SECURITY SOLUTIONS
Provides network managers with first software-only strong user authentication based on
keystroke dynamics
Bellevue, Wash., January 18, 2002 - Net Nanny Software International Inc. (CDNX: NNS) (OTCBB: NNSWF,NNSWE), the leader in keystroke authentication technology, today announced a partnership with Novell, Inc. to integrate BioPassword®, its patented biometric technology, with Novell® Modular Authentication Service (NMAS). NMAS enables the use of strong authentication methods, such as biometrics, in Novells access and security solutions.

Net Nannys solution will allow Novell customers to use BioPassword to enhance security to network resources by requiring users to verify their identity biometrically using their username and password combined with their typing rhythm.

Customers running complex networks need a method to authenticate users that is more secure than user name and password alone," said Mitch Tarr, Vice President of marketing and alliances of Net Nanny Software Inc. By combining Novells ability to enable organizations to control access to their applications, databases, and network resources with BioPasswords unique ability to identify users by their keystroke rhythm, organizations can have both improved security and productivity levels with the same solution."

BioPasswordÒ for NMAS will be demonstrated at the RSA Security Conference, February 19-21, 2002 in Booth #1702.

As companies take internal business processes to the Net, security becomes paramount ¾ and strong authentication is the first line of defense for protecting sensitive corporate data," said Richard Maddox, director of Novells access and security solutions. Adding Net Nannys keystroke rhythm technology to Novells access and security solutions gives customers the option of a very strong, cost-effective authentication method that is easy to deploy and maintain."
