Company Deploys DNS Signer and DNS Authority to Increase Security and
Resiliency

DENVER, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Secure64 Software Corporation announced today
that Qwest Communications, Inc. is quickly implementing the company's Secure64
DNS Signer and Secure64 DNS Authority products to increase security of its
Internet infrastructure, including DNS services.  The Domain Name System (DNS)
is responsible for translating host names to IP addresses (and vice versa) and
is critical for the normal operation of internet-connected systems. 

Qwest is the choice of 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies, offering a full
suite of network, data and voice services for business customers and
government agencies.  Additionally, Qwest participates in Networx, the largest
government communications services contract in the world.  The Qwest network
covers the continental United States with one of the largest fiber footprints
capable of supporting 40Gbps data transmission rates.

According to Melodi Gates, chief information security official at Qwest,
"Qwest is implementing Secure64 software because the technology is inherently
secure - the security features in the operating system are baked in, not
bolted on."

"Having Qwest purchase our DNS products demonstrates that our technology
really works to help secure the Internet infrastructure," said Steve Goodbarn,
CEO and Director of Secure64.  "We see Qwest's adoption as the final stamp of
approval for our software."

Secure64's suite of DNS products includes Secure64 DNS Signer, a software
product that fully automates Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)
key generation, key rollover, zone signing and re-signing processes.  It
reduces deployment and administration costs while eliminating errors that can
cause domains to become unavailable.  The software also scales to extremely
large, dynamic environments by safely keeping DNSSEC signing keys online while
providing incremental zone signing and extremely high signing performance.

Due to its importance, the United States Office of Management and Budget
issued an OMB mandate that all federal agencies must implement DNSSEC by
December 2009.

The company's other DNS product, Secure64 DNS Authority, is an authoritative
name server software product that's available at all times - even during
network attacks or restarts.  It delivers the availability and security
required in today's networks, without the cost and complexity of conventional
solutions.
