PRESS RELEASE

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., and ZURICH, Nov. 18, 2013 -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI) (www.vasco.com), a leading software security company specializing in authentication products and services, today launches its DIGIPASS for Application Perimeter Protection SDK (DIGIPASS for APPS), a software development kit providing application developers with a cross-platform programming environment to secure their (mobile) applications.

DIGIPASS for APPS offers a comprehensive set of features giving application developers all necessary building blocks to secure their application at every level. The solution allows native integration of strong authentication with one-time passwords and e-signatures ensuring a secure login or transaction signing process.

Additionally, DIGIPASS for APPS also offers unique features to secure the environment in which the application resides, such as jailbreak and rootkit detection and geolocation. The software development kit also provides a secure channel to ensure end-to-end encryption of business critical data whereby relying on mainstream technologies like HTTPS may not be enough. The secure channel offered by DIGIPASS for APPS can virtually encrypt anything, such as texts, photos or QR codes.

Furthermore, DIGIPASS for APPS enables application developers to streamline and manage the entire provisioning, deployment and lifecycle process offering several options for end user activation and device binding features that link a user to a specific device. The solution also foresees in the possibility for end users to use multiple devices for one application with a single license.

Highlights of DIGIPASS for APPS include:

native integration of strong authentication (one-time passwords and e-signatures) into applications

extended set of provisioning options

patented CrontoSign technology, supports an extended list of QR codes and barcodes

supports geolocalized OTPs and e-signatures

"The mobile ecosystem is a rapidly growing platform for delivering a wide variety of services, including applications that demand high levels of security such as finance and e-commerce platforms," says Jan Valcke, President and COO of VASCO Data Security. "DIGIPASS for APPS allows application developers to protect the entire application, be it banking or commercial applications in a single software development kit.
