All Asian character sets supported when represented in 80x14 dot matrix line, including amongst others Japanese and Mandarin

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., and ZURICH, Switzerland, Sept 02, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VDSI) (www.vasco.com ), the leading software security company
specializing in authentication products, today announces the launch of
Digipass 810 for the Asian markets. VASCO's popular Smart Card CAP reader has
been upgraded and redesigned for the Asian markets, accommodating Asian
character sets. The display of Digipass 810 has been redesigned and supports
all Asian Character sets as long as they can be represented in a 80X14 dot
matrix line. This way VASCO enables its Asian retail banking customers to
offer their end-users a stand alone EMV-CAP E compliant card reader with e-
signature capability.

Digipass 810 auto-initializes when the user inserts its smartcard and
enters his PIN for two-factor authentication. Each time the user enters his
PIN, a one-time password (OTP) will be generated and displayed. The OTP is
used by the end-user to authenticate himself when accessing the online banking
application. This dynamic password can only be used once and will be verified
by the bank. The verification of this OTP ensures the cardholder's identity
and will allow the user to make transactions. Next to OTP generation, Digipass
810 also enables e-signature capability, the ultimate weapon against
man-in-the-middle attacks.

Digipass 810 builds upon VASCO's VACMAN Controller technology for
authentication. For electronic payments it can also be integrated into a
3D-Secure architecture, allowing cardholders to sign account data to complete
online transactions.

Digipass 810 combines the security of a smart card with the flexibility of
OTP-technology. It requires no personalization or installation, which
facilitates distribution and user-friendliness for a large number of retail
bank customers.
