SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2001--Entrust Technologies
Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTU), the leading global provider of Trust Relationship
Management(TM) e-business solutions, today announced that it has entered into a
reseller agreement with the Mobile Internet Applications division of Nokia

According to the agreement, Entrust will be a premier reseller of the

Entrust's enterprise Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) customers which could
include, for example, banks brokerage houses, and insurance companies.
As a result of the collaboration, Entrust can further leverage its position
as the leading Trust Relationship Management e-business solutions provider by
broadening its offerings to include the Nokia Activ Signet Solution. The
combined Nokia and Entrust product offerings will be unique in their class
because they address end-to-end mobile commerce security requirements.
The key advantages of the Nokia Activ Signet Solution will include secure
mobile transactions with user-friendly enrollment and authentication. The new
Nokia solution will be based on open standards and technologies, including WAP
specification 1.2, WIM (Wireless Identity Module) and Wireless PKI. The Nokia
Activ Signet Solution has been integrated with Entrust toolkits and tested for
interoperability with Entrust products, so today's announcement represents a
natural extension of the companies' relationship.
"Entrust's offerings combined with Nokia solutions for mobile commerce means
Entrust will be able to provide corporate customers with a more convenient way
to implement a new range of mobile services," said Jukka Riivari, Director,
Corporate Sales, Nokia Networks. "Entrust is an excellent choice because of
their secure solutions and strong relationships with enterprise PKI customers
