WISeKey Launches WISeID Generation C at the Sixth Global Competitiveness Forum in Riyadh

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, January 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

WISeKey launches the WISeID special edition app designed for “Generation C” and
coordinates its release with the participation of Carlos Moreira at the Sixth Annual
Global Competitiveness Forum (GCF). Hundreds of business leaders, politicians, and
intellectuals will converge in Riyadh from January 21-24 to take part in the GCF 2012
probing ideas around competitiveness.

Mr. Moreira, WISeKey Founder and CEO, will speak at the panel session “Generation C -
Click, Connect, Communicate, Collaborate” which will discuss the future of digital
connectivity and business dependence on the virtual world. Mr. Moreira will showcase
WISeKey’s WISeID, which creates a unique digital ID for an individual, like a passport to
be used on the Internet.

WISeID ‘Generation C’ is designed to support the “digital natives” demographic, those
who turn to the Internet instinctively and actively participate in social media where they
contribute to discussions and share ideas. “Generation C” value their expanded universe,
but they are also vigilant about maintaining control over their lives and their personal
identifiable information (PII).

WISeID adds the fifth “C” for “Confidentiality” as the app’s data encryption helps
protect its owner’s PII as they actively participate in the virtual world, on social
networks, making electronic transactions and communications.
