Silicon Valley Reporter

News aus der WebWelt

Von Wolfgang Harrer

Internet-Drama auf der Bühne: In der schnelllebigen Zeitrechnung des Silicon Valley ist der Internet-Boom nun schon so lange her, dass sich hier scheinbar nur noch Theater mit der historischen Aufarbeitung des digitalen Goldrauschs beschäftigen mögen. Jüngstes Beispiel ist die Komödie "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" von Anthony Clarvoe, die vergangene Woche am renommierten San Jose Repertory Theater Premiere hatte. Der kryptische Titel bezeichnet jene Tastenkombination, die bei einem Computer einen Neustart bewirkt. Zwar haben in den vergangenen Jahren Autoren wie Arthur Kopit mit dem Stück "Y2K" und Patrick Marber mit "Closer" den High-Tech-Boom auf amerikanische Bühnen gebracht. "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" ist aber das erste Stück, das Aufstieg und Fall einer Internet-Firma thematisiert und die Frage stellt, ob die Internet-Revolution irgendetwas von kulturellem Wert hinterlassen habe. Dass aber auch der Kulturbetrieb des Silicon Valley vom ewigen Profilierungsdruck der örtlichen High-Tech-Industrie nicht unberührt geblieben ist, zeigt sich am Jargon der Theatermanager. Die preisen ihre Bühne als "Incubator der Dot-Comedy" an.
Mehr dazu im Netz: www.sjrep.com

Unternehmen hoffen auf den digitalen Personalausweis: In den ersten Wochen nach den Anschlägen auf das World Trade Center galt es als sicher, dass die Biometrie-Firmen des Silicon Valley bald mit einer großen Nachfrage nach verschiedenen Identifizierungstechnologien rechnen können. Inzwischen zeichnet sich aber ab, dass die mögliche Einführung eines US-Personalausweises in Kreditkartenformat für das Silicon Valley noch viel interessanter wäre und Milliardenumsätze bringen könnte. Einer der größten Nutznießer wäre die Silicon-Valley-Firma ActiveCard, die das US-Militär mit vier Millionen Chipausweiskarten versorgt hat. Um aber 285 Millionen US-Bürger mit digitalen Personalausweisen zu versehen, müsste die US-Regierung nach Schätzung von Sun Microsystems nicht nur zwischen zwei und zehn Milliarden Mark in die Chipkarten investieren, sondern zusätzlich das Zehnfache dieses Betrags in Software und Hardware zur Verwaltung der Daten.

SmartCards: Die Phantasie kehrt zurück
Die Hersteller von Plastikkarten mit Magnetstreifen oder mit Chips, den SmartCards, hoffen seit den Terroranschlägen in den USA auf das weltweit steigende
Sicherheitsbedürfnis. Der immer noch wichtigste Umsatzträger der Branche, der Handy-Markt, hingegen hat enttäuscht. So meint Jürgen Moll von Giesecke & Devrient, einem
bedeutenden Verarbeiter solcher Karten: „Der Markt für Mobiltelefone ist wichtig, aber das Wachstum rückläufig. Wir müssen uns neu orientieren." Unternehmen wie der
Marktführer Gemplus und der Markt-Vize Oberthur Card Systems hatten wegen der Schwäche ihrer Hauptabnehmer teils mehrfach vor einer schwachen Geschäftsentwicklung
warnen müssen .

Der sich neu auftuende Sicherheits-Markt könnte der Branche einen kräftigen Schub geben. So ist z.B. das Segment für elektronische Ausweise noch weitgehend
unerschlossen. Es bietet den Herstellern die Chance, die Abhängigkeit vom Telekommunikationsmarkt schnell zu reduzieren. Oberthur-Chef Thomas Savare schätzt den
Erschließungsgrad des Marktpotenzials für elektronische Ausweise auf gerade einmal ein Prozent. Schlumberger macht aktuell immerhin 10 Prozent seines Umsatzes mit
Ausweiskarten. 2003 sollen aber schon 30 bis 35 Prozent erreicht werden. Chipkarten können leicht an unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse angepasst werden. Sie lassen sich
zusätzlich mit Magnetstreifen oder Barcodes ausrüsten, können ein Bild ihres Besitzers tragen – vieles ist möglich, auch die Kombination verschiedener Verfahren und die
kontaktlose Kommunikation mit dem Lesegerät. Und was auf den Karten gespeichert wird, ist völlig beliebig. Das können neben den „normalen“ Personendaten und
Beschreibungen über betriebliche Funktion und Stellung auch Fingerabdruck-Merkmale, sowie Beschreibungen der Gesichtsform sein. Die Bundesregierung denkt über neue
Personalausweise nach. China will vielleicht neue, fälschungssichere Ausweise ausgeben, was 1,2 Milliarden SmartCards entspräche. Das Pentagon will seine Mitarbeiter mit
elektronisch lesbaren Ausweisen ausstatten. Den Groß-Auftrag wickeln Gemplus, Oberthur und Schlumberger-Sema gemeinsam ab. Giesecke & Devrient hat kürzlich einen
Auftrag aus Ägypten für Ausweiskarten erhalten. SCM Microsystems arbeitet bei der Lieferung von Smartcard-Lesegeräten an die US-Armee mit und hat bereits die ersten
50.000 Lesegeräte ausgeliefert . Zusammen mit Giesecke & Devrient wollen die Deutsch-Amerikaner die Geldkarte für das Micropayment im Internet nutzen . Regierungen
ebnen gegenwärtig den Weg, aber auch die Computerindustrie unterstützt neue Identifikationsverfahren. So können sich Nutzer des neuen Betriebssystems Windows XP von
Microsoft über eine SmartCard einloggen. Das Sicherheitsbedürfnis ist nach dem 11. September 2001 stark gestiegen. Sicherheit ist heute mehr wert als zuvor. So kosten die
neuen Pentagon-Ausweise ein Vielfaches der bisher eingesetzten Technik. Und der Schutz der Privatsphäre tritt in den Hintergrund: Auf den neuen Karten des
US-Verteidigungsministeriums finden sich sogar Informationen über Blutgruppe und Gehalt. Die Marktforscher von Frost & Sullivan haben in einer neuen Studie zur Entwicklung
des SmartCard-Marktes herausgefunden, dass sich die Zahl der jährlich weltweit genutzten Karten von 1,8 Milliarden Stück im vergangenen Jahr auf nahezu 3,7 Milliarden im
Jahre 2004 mehr als verdoppeln soll . Der Chip-Hersteller Infineon erwartet für 2006 etwa 4,5 Milliarden Einheiten weltweit. 25 Prozent davon sollen dann kontaktlos arbeiten.
Die International Biometric Group hatte dem auf Sicherheitsaspekte ausgerichteten Biometrie-Segment schon vor den Terrorattacken für 2002 und 2003 jährliche
Wachstumsraten von 70 Prozent bescheinigt. Aus einem Volumen von gegenwärtig immerhin fast 400 Mio. Dollar soll im Jahre 2005 ein 1,9 Mrd. Dollar schwerer Markt
entstehen . Zentrale Komponente sind dabei SmartCards, die die personenbezogenen biometrischen Daten tragen. Einstweilen allerdings herrscht bei den Aktionären dieser
Titel noch Frust, selbst wenn sogar Anbieter wie Amatech sich zunächst einmal deutlich über ihren Tiefstkursen stabilisieren können. Allenthalben werden Skandälchen
gemeldet. So hat der 76-jährige Firmengründer des ebenfalls am Neuen Markt notierten SmartCard-Anbieters Winter anscheinend Vorstand und Aufsichtsrat wegen
Bestechung, Untreue und Prospektbetrugs angeklagt. Die EamS meldet, er wirft den Beschuldigten vor, den Emissionskurs mittels eines nicht existenten Großauftrags in die
Höhe getrieben zu haben. Die Betroffenen entgegneten über die Firmenanwälte, dass dieser Auftrag von BMW existiert hat. Winter selbst habe versucht, die Firma zu erpressen.
Klar, dass der Kurs auf Tauchstation geht. Auch bei Gemplus wird schmutzige Wäsche gewachsen. Die Hauptaktionäre, die amerikanische Fondsgesellschaft Texas Pacific
Group (26 Prozent), die deutsche Quandt-Gruppe (18 Prozent), die französische Dassault (4 Prozent) und GE Capital (4 Prozent) haben kürzlich den Vorstandsvorsitzenden
Antonio Perez geschasst. Zugleich tritt der Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende und Gründer Marc Lassus zurück. Oft sind solche Querelen der hässliche Schlussakkord in einer
frustrierenden Entwicklung. Die Chancen stehen angesichts der Marktaussichten nicht schlecht, dass dies auch diesmal der Fall ist. Hinzu kommt, dass nun wohl auch das
Sorgenkind der Branche, der Handy-Markt, seinen Boden gefunden hat. Beobachter rechnen mit einem Zuwachs der in 2002 hergestellten Mobiltelephone um 15 Prozent.

ActivCard`s Trinity Software Wins Crossroads 2002 A-List Award For Strong
Authentication Technology

Award Recognizes Trinity`s Success With Key ActivCard Customers

FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- ActivCard Inc., (Nasdaq: ACTI; Easdaq), a leading provider of smart card and
digital identity provisioning technology, today announced that its Trinity(TM) enterprise authentication software product received
the Crossroads 2002 A-List Award for Strong Authentication Technology. Trinity is a software framework that uniquely combines
strong authentication and single sign-on for both facilitating and securing access to enterprise computer networks. Trinity is the
flagship product developed by Ankari Inc., a Canadian-based authentication software and biometric hardware developer acquired
last month by Fremont, California based ActivCard.

``This award is extremely valuable because it comes from our customers as much as from Crossroads,`` said Rod Stuhlmuller, Vice
President of Corporate Marketing at ActivCard. ``Because the decision is based primarily on interviews with customers, the award
demonstrates our understanding of enterprise authentication requirements and our focus on delivering customer satisfaction. Trinity
is a powerful product and we are already seeing how our recent acquisition of Ankari is enhancing our ability to provide complete,
world-class solutions to our customers.``

The Crossroads A-List identifies the best newly proven products and services transforming business today. Winners are
determined after an in-depth analysis of the vendor`s strategy followed by confidential, in-depth interviews with early lighthouse
customers. Trinity was evaluated on the implementation process, ease-of-use, the increase in security to corporate networks and
its contribution to today`s businesses. Overall, customers agreed that Trinity allowed them to secure their IT environments while
actually enhancing how people work. Past winners of the Crossroads A-List Award in the Business and Technology Infrastructure
category include such prestigious companies as Entrust Technologies, Citrix Systems, Inc., Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, IBM and
BEA Systems, among others.

``Trinity customers are able to derive immediate value, achieve significant technology gains and demonstrate true innovation with
their Trinity deployments,`` according to Nina G. Lytton, President Open Systems Advisors, Inc. ``Working with ActivCard, these
customers were able to apply successful project strategies that include introducing true benefits and convenience to end users.
Trinity was selected based on this customer feedback, as well as its applicability for global organizations looking for increased
network security.``

Using any combination of biometrics, smart cards, tokens and passwords, Trinity enables users to replace the multiple passwords
they must remember with a single method of authentication. Trinity centrally manages all aspects of smart card issuance, biometric
enrollment and user configuration. Trinity also supports a wider range of fingerprint scanners and integrated smart card readers
from leading technology companies. This interoperability across these supported devices, including keyboards, peripherals and laptops, allows enterprise
organizations to meet the diverse authentication and single sign-on needs of their users.

SmartCards: USA sind noch Entwicklungsland

Transaktionssicherheit schafft gewaltigen Nachholbedarf

Im Bereich SmartCards sind die USA immer noch Entwicklungsland. Das
überrascht, kommt von dort doch sonst (fast) aller technischer „Segen“. Den
großen amerikanischen Kreditkartenfirmen war diese Technologie bisher einfach
zu teuer. Und so ist die SmartCard-Industrie zumindest heute noch mehr oder
weniger auf Europa und Asien beschränkt. 2000 entfielen lediglich 2 Prozent des
gesamten jährlichen Umsatzvolumens auf die USA, 60 Prozent hingegen auf
Europa, nahezu 30 Prozent auf Asien.

Jetzt verschiebt die Rechtssprechung in den USA aber die Frage, wer bei
Kreditkarten-Betrug das Nachsehen hat, von den Händlern auf die Aussteller. Und
das überzeugt die Karten-Firmen, über Sicherheitaspekte neu nachzudenken.
Betrug mit Kreditkarten scheint im Internet einen gewaltigen Umfang anzunehmen.
US-Experten schätzen, dass hier 8 bis 9 Mal mehr Schindluder getrieben wird als
in den traditionellen Verkaufskanälen. Es ist ja auch besonders einfach – die
Angabe von Nummer und Gültigkeitsdatum reicht.

ActivCard Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2001 Results

-- Company Posts 73% Revenue Growth for Fiscal 2001 -- Expects Continued Revenue Growth in 2002 -- Restructures to
Position for Profitability Late in 2002

FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ActivCard (Nasdaq: ACTI; Nasdaq Europe: ACTI), a leading provider of digital identity provisioning
infrastructure, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2001.

Revenue for the fourth quarter increased 11% to $6.8 million compared to $6.1 million in the comparable period in 2000. Revenue for fiscal year 2001 increased
73% to $31.2 million from $18.1 million in fiscal 2000. Revenue for fiscal year 2001 included $3.2 million from a non-monetary transaction, as previously reported
in the Company`s third quarter financial results.

Steven Humphreys, CEO of ActivCard, commented, ``In one of the most challenging business environments of the past decade, ActivCard showed strong growth in
2001, and is positioned for further growth in 2002. In 2001, critical anchor customers and channels were established in Europe and the U.S. Key partnerships now
underpin our claim to leadership in the digital identity management market. Technology and product acquisitions have placed us at the forefront of all vendors with a
complete, scalable set of solutions. Our absolute focus for 2002 is on our customers, the profitability of our business, and increasing our market share. We firmly
believe we`re well positioned to succeed in all of these goals.``

Pro forma net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was $6.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to pro forma net income of $100 thousand, or
$0.00 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of the previous year. Actual net loss for the quarter was $9.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to actual net
loss of $17.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2001, pro forma net loss was $11.5
million, or $0.29 per diluted share compared to pro forma net loss of $356 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share in 2000. Actual net loss for 2001 was $16.7
million, or $0.42 per diluted share compared to actual net income of $14.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. The results for 2000 included a net foreign exchange
gain of $14.4 million.

Mr. Humphreys continued, ``ActivCard is a market leader, in a truly critical emerging market for secure, easy-to-use digital identities. We will continue to execute on
our vision of delivering the leading digital identity infrastructure, enabling our customers to easily and securely issue, use and maintain digital identities, permitting users
and organizations to interact across networks with the same level of confidence as face-to-face transactions.``

On November 13, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of American Biometric Company Ltd. (doing business as Ankari) for $18.3 million. The results for
the quarter and fiscal 2001 reflect the acquisitions of Ankari, Authentic8 International Inc., and SafeData System, S.A.

2001 Highlights

-- ActivCard delivered the second generation of its smart card-based
authentication solution, ActivCard Gold version 2.0. Large Global
1000 companies such as Renault, Hewlett-Packard, and Sun
Microsystems are deploying ActivCard Gold.
-- ActivCard released ActivPack Version 4.4 [Enterprise and Service
Provider Edition], adding to the Company`s strong authentication
product line to provide solutions for remote and VPN access.
ActivPack Enterprise version extends ActivCard`s channel reach to
include leading providers such as Checkpoint, Cisco, and Nortel.
ActivPack Service Provider Edition extends ActivCard`s strong
authentication product line to address the needs of
large-scale service providers such as VeriSign and reinforced
support from other industry leaders such as SchlumbergerSEMA.
-- ActivCard continued strong growth in the Government Sector,
delivering specific product features to address the needs of
Government agencies worldwide. Our provisioning products continue
to rollout smart card-based identity cards throughout the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD). ActivCard Gold CAC version 2.0,
provides full compliance with the U.S. General Services
Administration`s Common Access Card Interoperability specification,
and is being throughout the DOD. In addition, ActivCard delivered
software to enable leading smart card manufacturers to achieve
FIPS140 level-2 certification on Java Cards for these government ID
projects.
-- ActivCard completed three acquisitions, adding engineering resources
and strengthening the Company`s infrastructure offerings to include
more robust enterprise authentication and single sign-on features.


2002 Outlook

``We believe that the strength of our products, technology, customers and the industry leading partnerships established in 2001, position ActivCard as the de-facto
standard for digital identity provisioning and management,`` stated Mr. Humphreys. ``Going into 2002, based on our current level of sales activity, we anticipate
revenue growth of approximately 30-35%. This reflects a growing digital identity market and the market share gains which we believe we will realize in 2002.``

The Company also announced today a restructuring of its business, reducing its operating expense run rate by 15%, which includes a reduction in headcount of
approximately 20% worldwide. Commenting on the expense reductions, Blair Geddes, Chief Financial Officer and VP of Finance noted, ``We have taken the
necessary steps to position ActivCard for profitability on a quarterly basis in late 2002. We have made reductions and tightened expense controls across the

Smart Card Survey Reveals 45 Percent Growth in Smart Card Usage

Industry`s First Official Baseline for Smart Card Shipments Shows a 79 Percent Increase in Smart Card Shipments From First
to Second Half of 2001

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The Smart Card Alliance, a non-profit association working to accelerate the widespread adoption of multiple
applications for smart card technology, today announced the findings of a report, ``United States and Canada Smart Card Shipment Survey,`` that shows a 45
percent growth in smart card usage in the United States and Canada from 2000 to 2001 and a 79 percent growth from the first to second half of 2001. This is the
smart card industry`s first official baseline for North American smart card shipments and demonstrates the growing usage of smart cards within the U.S. and Canada.
The findings were released today in Austin, Texas during the Alliance`s February conference.

``The increased smart card activity in the industry underlines that smart cards are the preferred device for portable and secure network authentication,`` said Paul
Beverly, vice president, SchlumbergerSema Smart Cards and eTransactions. ``The survey results clearly show the increased level of card issuance and adoption,
and highlight the importance of implementing smart card programs at this time. The predicted hockey stick growth of smart cards is occurring.``

The study surveyed all major smart card manufacturers and collected results in nine vertical markets, including government, wireless/telephony, transit and parking,
financial and retail that supplied smart cards to the United States and Canada from 2000 to 2001. The largest growing segment is the U.S. Federal Government with
over a 1000 percent growth rate. The other top markets include wireless/telephony and retail. The retail segment had a 377 percent growth and the financial market
grew by 146 percent, reflecting the response of card associations and banks to consumer demand for expanded card services. Contrary to worldwide trends in
wireless, the North American market grew by four percent.

``Through this report, we have provided the smart card industry with an accurate picture of the growth in smart card implementation,`` said Donna Farmer, chief
executive officer and president, Smart Card Alliance. ``These results show the growing adoption of smart cards in a variety of industries and provide a means of
identifying opportunities to further accelerate the rates of growth and implementation.``

The total number of smart cards manufactured for use within the United States and Canada for 2000 was 28,430,000. The total number in 2001 is 41,320,000, a
45 percent growth rate. Smart card shipments in the first half of 2001 totaled 14,800,000 and the second half of 2001 saw the growth of smart card shipments of
26,520,000, which is a 79 percent increase in smart card shipments from the first to second half of 2001. Smart card growth from 1999 to 2000 was 37 percent.

Smart cards verify, authenticate, and protect a cardholder`s identity and information and are used worldwide for identification, payment, transit and parking and
mobile telecommunications by major financial institutions, retailers, government and healthcare organizations and enterprises.

The Smart Card Alliance is a not-for profit, multi-industry association of member firms working to accelerate the widespread acceptance of multiple applications for
smart card technology. Through specific projects such as education programs, market research, advocacy, industry relations, and open forums, the Alliance keeps its

ActivCard and VeriSign Extend Alliance to Enable Trusted Web Services

ActivCard`s Managed Digital Identity Infrastructure Links With VeriSign`s New Digital Trust
Services Framework

FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- ActivCard (Nasdaq: ACTI; Nasdaq Europe), a leading provider of digital identity
provisioning and authentication infrastructure, and VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN - news) the leading provider of digital trust

rapid return-on-investment while improving overall trust in their systems. Consolidating a user`s many independent credentials
(passwords, tokens, certificates, picture ID, building access card) on a single platform, enables companies to reduce the cost of
provisioning multiple credentials, greatly increases user manageability, significantly reduces helpdesk calls, and simplifies the
authentication experience for the user.

``VeriSign`s Digital Trust Services framework provides a comprehensive approach for embedding trust into automated business
systems,`` said Steven Humphreys, ActivCard`s Chairman and CEO. ``Integration of our products and technologies with VeriSign`s
managed digital trust services allows us, together, to better address a growing market opportunity in which customers require the
highest level of security and trust throughout their IT infrastructure.``

VeriSign`s Digital Trust Services framework (announced today) is designed to enable trusted Web Services and other high-value
e-Business applications. The open approach, supported by a wide range of leading platform and service providers, makes
VeriSign`s broad range of digital trust services more accessible through platform integration, standards-based application
programming interfaces (APIs), developer tools, and a service provider platform for systems integrators, value-added resellers and
large-scale service providers.

``Enterprises continue to migrate critical business processes online to improve productivity and efficiency, but the success of digital
commerce and communications really depends upon trust,`` said Anil Pereira, senior vice president and group general manager of
VeriSign`s enterprise and service provider division. ``By collaborating with industry leaders like ActivCard, we`re securely enabling
the next wave of trusted e-Business applications.``

ActivCard Delivers Managed Identity and Authentication Solution on
Sun(TM) ONE Platform for Network Identity

Proven Solution on the Sun ONE Platform Now Deployed by U.S. Department Of Defense

SAN FRANCISCO, JavaOne(SM) Developer Conference, March 25


/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ActivCard (Nasdaq: ACTI; Nasdaq Europe), a leading
provider of digital identity provisioning and authentication infrastructure,
today announced the integration of Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW - news) Sun Open
Net Environment (Sun ONE) Platform for Network Identity with its smart card
issuance, authentication and identity management system. Announced earlier
this month, the Sun ONE Platform for Network Identity is the industry`s first
open software, hardware and services offering available today from Sun for
organizations to rapidly establish and control their own end-to-end network
identity system. The ActivCard solution leverages several components of the
Sun ONE platform, and extends the solution to enable applications, data, and
user credentials to be securely loaded on Sun`s Java Cards(TM). These
card-based applications provide secure, two-factor authentication to network
services that help enterprises manage and control the identities of employees,
partners and customers.

Currently, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has implemented a Common Access Card (CAC) solution, based on the
ActivCard system and the Sun ONE Platform for Network Identity, which was developed leveraging Sun`s iForce Ready Center
in Menlo Park, Calif. The solution enables the DOD to issue more than 5,500 CAC badges per day at over 500 locations around
the world. These new CAC badges include both physical and logical access capabilities, PKI-based digital signature and
encryption applets, and personal demographic information. The new CAC badges are providing users easy and secure
authentication and authorization services, streamlining access and increasing productivity of previously manual business processes.

Sun Microsystems is also utilizing the ActivCard extensions to the Sun ONE Platform for Network Identity for its own internal
``Java Badge`` rollout to its employees and partners worldwide. The Java(TM) badge, like the DOD CAC, is expected to offer
both physical and logical access capabilities and to consolidate several user identity credentials, including picture ID, building
access, remote access token functionality, digital certificates and multiple static passwords, to a single, manageable platform.
Through identity consolidation, enterprises are experiencing a compelling return on investment. By combining remote access token,
picture ID badge and building access devices to a single card and by providing users with an ATM-like single sign-on experience,
help desk cost are reduced significantly while increasing the overall security and efficiency of the enterprise.

``Network Identity is the defining issue of the decade and the Sun ONE Platform for Network Identity delivers real value to our customers by providing an
end-to-end solution that is open, secure and scalable,`` said Jonathan Schwartz, chief strategy officer, Sun Microsystems, Inc. ``Working closely with iForce partners
like ActivCard, enterprises now have a comprehensive solution for rapidly deploying a full integrated, corporate identity badge system that leverages existing
infrastructure while offering flexibility and modularity to support future authentication and identity management services.``

ActivCard offers a professional services package, enabling companies to leverage ActivCard`s expertise and core competencies in assessing enterprise solution
requirements, overall identity management policies and processes and form return on investment worksheets. Additionally, ActivCard has worked closely with Sun
to deliver a pre-configured pilot system which allows customers to experience and evaluate a core set of capabilities, for a limited number of users, within their own
environments.

``ActivCard has been working with Sun for many years and we view the delivery of the Sun ONE Platform for Network Identity as a powerful next step for our
relationship,`` said Steve Humphreys, CEO at ActivCard. ``Leveraging the Sun ONE Platform for Network Identity at the DOD, we have delivered, what may be
the largest multi-application smart card-based corporate badge system in the world. Today, together with Sun, we begin offering this robust, scalable, and open
standards-based solution to enterprises around the world.``

ActivCard First Quarter Revenue Increased 20% Sequentially and 15% Year
Over Year

-- Reiterates Guidance for Sequential Revenue Growth in 2002 -- Achieved Operating Expense Reduction Targets

FREMONT, Calif., May 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ActivCard (Nasdaq: ACTI; Nasdaq Europe: ACTI), a leading provider of digital identity provisioning
infrastructure, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2002.

Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 increased 15% to $8.2 million compared to $7.1 million in the comparable period in 2001. Revenue in the first
quarter of 2002 also increased 20% compared to the $6.8 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Steven Humphreys, CEO of ActivCard, commented, "Our continuing focus for 2002 is on revenues, profitability, and increasing market share. Our first quarter
results demonstrate solid progress in all of these areas. Achieving 20% sequential revenue growth in this challenging market environment is an indicator of the strength
of our business position and the breadth of our revenue base. The 15% reduction in operating expenses relative to fourth quarter, after normalizing for the
mid-quarter acquisition of Ankari, combined with this revenue increase, has moved us well along the path to profitability. Further, our performance relative to our
competitors, many of whom are experiencing flat or negative growth, clearly reflects market share gains which are already underway."

Pro forma net loss for the quarter was $4.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to pro forma net income of $115 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, in
the first quarter of the previous year.

Actual net loss for the quarter was $28.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to actual net loss of $371 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first
quarter of the prior year. The actual net loss for the quarter included a $7.4 million charge for the previously announced restructuring and business realignment of the
Company. The Company also recorded a $15.5 million charge associated with a planned disposition of certain operations of the former Authentic8 International,
Inc. The $15.5 million charge included a $15.0 million write-down of goodwill and other intangibles. Also excluded from pro forma net loss were acquisition related
charges, deferred stock compensation, foreign exchange gains, legal settlement and operating results of discontinued operations.

Mr. Humphreys continued, "During the quarter we experienced accelerated growth in our smart card-based digital identity solutions in the U.S. and broadened our
remote access / VPN authentication VAR channels in Europe. Demonstrating the broadening market adoption of our products, we sold over 400,000 licenses of
our ActivCard Gold(TM) client software in the first quarter."

First Quarter 2002 Highlights
-- ActivCard`s Trinity(TM) enterprise authentication software product
received the Crossroads 2002 A-List Award for Strong Authentication
Technology.
-- ActivCard and VeriSign announced a furthering of the partnership
initiated in 2001 by linking ActivCard`s Managed Digital Identity
Infrastructure with VeriSign`s new Digital Trust Services Framework and
