Security Biometrics, Inc. and Arrillion Software LLC Form Alliance to Integrate Biometric Signature Authentication Solution for the Healthcare Industry

Paperless Solution Validates Patient Identity and Controls Access to Confidential Information in the healthcare industry.

NEW YORK ¡V SEATTLE - December 3, 2002 - Security Biometrics, Inc. (OTCBB: SBTI), a technology and acquisition company focused on the rapidly developing field of biometrics, today announced that it has signed a licensing, integration and royalty agreement with Arrillion Software LLC (Arrillion) of Seattle, Washington. Arrillion will integrate SBTI's - PenflowTM -powered biometric ¡§Signature Secure¡¨ technology into its Virtual Sign in SystemsTM to track, authenticate and verify patients¡¦ visits to healthcare professionals, including hospitals, private healthcare practices, and commercial healthcare clinics.

Troy Butler, President of Arrillion, stated, ¡§We have been searching for some time for a biometric solution to integrate with our platform and we are very pleased to have concluded this agreement with Security Biometrics for the use of their ¡§Signature Secure¡¨ solution. The use of this technology will accelerate our growth and provide long-term profits for both companies.¡¨

Ken Barr, Chairman and CEO of Security Biometrics, commented, ¡§The need to authenticate a patient¡¦s identity and the need to secure his or her information have become integral necessities for the healthcare industry, which is already computer reliant and desires to become more streamlined and less dependent on paper.¡¨ Barr continued, ¡§Arrillion¡¦s recognition of the benefits of utilizing our biometric signature application will provide both patients and physicians with crucial identity and records security.¡¨

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) (www.hipaa.com), which governs the security, standards, and privacy of electronic health data results in healthcare professionals becoming custodians of patient information and creates a sizeable market niche for the Arrillion/SBTI solution. The Arrillion/SBTI solution can validate a patient¡¦s identity to near absolute certainty via biometric signature analysis that is instantaneous, simple, and will integrate seamlessly into existing IT systems. SBTI¡¦s ¡§Signature Secure¡¨ - PenflowTM technology accurately validates signatures in a quick and non-invasive manner. Arrillion also offers an undisputable audit trail of personnel accessing this confidential electronic data.
