HIGHLIGHTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Aunigma Technology Recognized Web-wide
January 26, 2010.   After several years of intense R&D effort, Auburn University engineers who developed Aunigma Network Solutions’ core technology recently published the results of their work in the International Journal of Information and Computer Security ( 2009, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 195-223 ).  The significance of this new methodology for protecting Web-based assets was quickly recognized by ScienceDaily, Smarter Technology and dozens of other Internet news outlets, Web sites and blogs around the globe.

Aunigma and Auburn are engaged in a partnership to commercialize the Identity-Based Privacy-Protected Access Control Filter (IPACF) protocol.  By leveraging the school’s research, Aunigma’s veteran founding team has developed a revolutionary IP security and network optimization solution named PacketLok™.  This revolutionary "military grade" technology exceeds the best practices of current network transport and security offerings—meeting ever emerging network privacy, protection and performance demands.  See press release.

Aunigma’s "Java Powered" Technology Certified by AppLabs
September 20, 2008.  Aunigma’s PacketLok™  technology, a revolutionary IP security and network optimization protocol, operates on any operating system (OS), device or network implemented in Java. PacketLok’s designation as "Java Powered" has been officially certified by AppLabs, the world’s largest independent testing, quality management and certification solutions company, after conducting an extensive evaluation of the technology’s structure and operation. These results further solidify Aunigma’s position as a Principal Partner in the Sun^SM Partner Advantage Program for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).  www.sun.com, www.applabs.com.

Aunigma Attains Principal Partner Status in Sun Partner Advantage Program
March 6, 2008. Aunigma announced today that it is a Principal Partner in the Sun^SM Partner Advantage Program for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). Aunigma qualified for this level by meeting Sun’s stringent criteria for excellence as a supplier of networking and security solutions, and by committing to tight strategic and technical alignment with Sun.

By achieving Principal Partner status, Aunigma joins the growing community of ISVs that are developing applications for or porting applications to the Sun platform. The benefits to Sun customers include access to a broader range of pre-tested, optimized solutions; investment protection and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) through collaborative engineering between Sun and its partners; and a higher level of predictability and support as Sun rolls out its latest technologies and software upgrades.  www.sun.com.

Aunigma Technology Undergoes Third Party Verification
Verification of Aunigma’s capabilities by third parties and certification by independent software testing labs are important steps in gaining both recognition and acceptance in the marketplace. During December our technology successfully passed vector analysis by a well-known security consultant. Additional verification will take place after the first of the year with Aunigma’s growing list of partners.

Android Becomes Additional Platform for Aunigma
In November Google unveiled a suite of software—dubbed Android—for mobile phones based on open-source technology. This new platform is backed by some of the largest wireless industry companies in the world. Anticipating the market opportunities that mobile applications will bring, Aunigma migrated PacketLok to Android during December. The company will begin developing innovations for the platform in 1Q08. code.google.com/android.

Sun™ Microsystems Provides Key Technologies for Aunigma
After developing much of its technology using Java and the OSGi framework, Aunigma added a total Sun solution in November. PacketLok™— Aunigma’s core technology—is now tightly integrated with the Solaris™ 10 operating system and running on Sun servers to provide a universal VPN gateway solution. The company now participates in the Sun Developer Network, the OpenSolaris™ Community and the Java™ Technology Community. In January 2008 Aunigma will become a part of the Sun Partner Advantage Program. www.sun.com.

New Agreement Struck with Auburn
After completing an extensive due diligence test, Auburn University converted its existing option agreement with Aunigma to a further reaching contract in May. The new license agreement grants exclusive worldwide rights to Auburn’s patent-pending security technology. Aunigma is pursuing additional patent protection for its new developments. www.auburn.edu.

Aunigma Accepted as an ISV for RIM
Research In Motion (RIM) invited Aunigma to join the BlackBerry® Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Alliance Program in May.
