Precise Biometrics Announces Thursby Software’s Use of Smart Casing to Provide
Secure Browsing on Mobile Devices

Precise Biometrics’ partner community continues to grow with Thursby partnership

Precise Biometrics today announced a partnership with Thursby Software, further
enhancing Thursby’s security initiatives with the integration of a smart casing
solution for mobile devices from Precise Biometrics. Thursby will use the
solution with its PKard™ suite of iPad and iPhone apps to provide highly secure
and convenient access to websites requiring strong authentication on mobile
devices for the commercial and government sector.

“We are very excited to announce our partnership with Thursby,” said Precise
Biometrics’ CEO, Thomas Marschall. “We are expecting that the mobile security
market will see a triple digit market growth for emerging authentication
technologies in 2012. With this surge, we are seeing more and more potential for
partners such as Thursby taking advantage of our solution’s secure platform and
smart casing with its built-in smart card reader and fingerprint sensor.”

The smart casing solution fulfills a need for users who want to access secure
networks or services using their mobile device, but are restricted from doing so
because they cannot authenticate as required. The smart casing fit seamlessly
over the device, filling a void in the mobile security arena by enabling
developers to build smart card, fingerprint authentication, or both, into
virtually any type of app for the most popular mobile devices. At the same time,
the smart casing solution makes authentication easier and more convenient for
users.

Thursby has been pleased with the exciting possibilities of the smart casing
solution and can now offer apps leveraging its capabilities for secure mobile
computing.

App developers can access information on the smart casing solution and its
toolkit by visiting www.idApps.com/developers.
