Nissan Deploys Integrated Solution from ActivIdentity

Potential of 7,000 Users Throughout Europe to Use Enterprise Access Card Solution

FREMONT, Calif., November 15, 2005 – ActivCard Corp. (Nasdaq: ACTI) d/b/a ActivIdentity, a global leader in digital identity assurance, today announced it signed new customer Nissan, part of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, the number four automotive group in the world. Nissan is deploying the Company’s integrated solution for employee badges to gain physical access to buildings and logical access to networks with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Single Sign-On (SSO) and one-time use password (OTP) technology.

“Nissan was looking for an end-to-end security solution to manage user identities integrating smart card technology,” said Graham Orton, Manager, IT Infrastructure and Operations at Nissan Europe. “This complete and flexible solution enables us to remotely add new access to employee’s services, with a powerful role delegation to local entities in a scalable environment. After an extensive and in-depth analysis of the competitive landscape, ActivIdentity emerged as the company that would serve us best.”

The Enterprise Access Card solution relies on the functionalities of the Company’s Card Management System product as the central and delegated card management platform allowing Nissan to use multiple authentication technology including PKI, SSO and OTP. Nissan needed to upgrade to a comprehensive multi-services employee badge.

“We understand throughout large and complex organizations, there is a fundamental need for security, lower operating costs, and eliminating workflow blockages in a fast-paced setting,” said Marc Hudavert, Vice President and General Manager. “The functionalities of our Enterprise Access Card, combined with its compatibility with third party technology, solve real-world problems to meet the current and forthcoming needs of large organizations.”
