S.W, WINR: Winners Internet Network, Inc. And Supranet Ag Jointly Announce The Highest Encryption Technology Available ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 4, 2000--David C. Skinner, Jr., President and CEO of Winners Internet Network, Inc. (WINR), www.winr.net, and Ronald Oehri, CEO and President of SupraNet AG, www.supra.net, an affiliate of Winners Internet Network, jointly announce the Supra Secure Mail (SSM), the highest encryption technology available. SSM technology provides the most secure and encrypted Email service transaction technology in the world. This breakthrough developed exclusively by SupraNet AG will quickly become the most accepted encryption standard for business to business (B2B) communication and safe financial transactions. The protocol for security gives the user the ability to have 448 bit key which exceeds any available encryption in the world. It is the first key with over 400 bit encryption technology which is a worldwide milestone in the development of security and privacy software compared to the current standard of 128 to 256 bit keys. "This significant breakthrough will give Winners Internet Network a profound competitive advantage in the e-commerce marketplace. SSM offers the highest level of security for the rapidly increasing number of merchants and customers of WINR and its expanding e-commerce activities", David Skinner, Jr., CEO and President of Winners Internet Network, Inc., stated. "The joint marketing efforts for SSM will clearly increase the value of WINR and SupraNet AG and contribute strong additional revenue streams. This will be accomplished with a one time set-up fee for SSM and a monthly service charge", Skinner continued. According to Ronald Oehri, the President and CEO of SupraNet, "The code key encryption is so safe that the biggest computers in the world would take 25 years to penetrate the code. As a further deterrent, the code changes every 3 minutes making it virtually impenetrable. This will be the new standard for safe, secure and confidential communication. We have already begun to experience the growing demand for this software and service." Unique Proprietary selling points of SSM: - Current standard privacy software does not encrypt the sender's and recipient's names and the subject of the email, only the content of the message. SSM encrypts not only the content, but also the sender, recipient, and subject. So SSM encrypts the entire transmission and makes it impossible for anyone to decipher any or all of these transmissions. - All data of all transmissions is stored in Liechtenstein where the government respects confidentiality and where absolute privacy is protected by law. - All steps of every transmission are encrypted with the new, powerful, proprietary, and unique 448 bit key. In this email transmission process the sender and the recipient must proceed through the Authorization Security Process (ASP) to access the email servers to deliver and to receive all email transmissions. In order to use SSM customers will have to install the 900KB proprietary software on their computer. Once installed the user has worldwide access to SSM. SupraNet AG is currently selling and marketing SSM at its corporate website www.supra.net. Winners Internet Network, Inc. and SupraNet AG are currently developing the sales and information portal Encryption-plus.com for its 448 bit key encryption product, SSM. The portal can be found at www.encryption-plus.com in the second quarter of 2000 with both companies expecting this site to be the No. 1 website for privacy and encryption products, information, and services. Business-to Business communication and its encryption is a rapidly growing multi-billion Dollar market. According to David Skinner, Jr., and Ronald Oehri, "SSM will enable our companies to obtain a significant market share of this expanding multi-billion Dollar industry. We have already received several concrete inquiries from potential customers from all over the world."
