"PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2005--HP (NYSE:HPQ - News;
Nasdaq:HPQ - News) today announced the availability of the HP National Identity
System (NIS) solution on the MicrosoftR .NET platform.

The HP NIS solution allows governments to build and quickly deploy at an
affordable price a complete, standards-based and technologically agile
infrastructure that meets their changing needs for security and identity
management.

Going beyond simple secure identification and authentication functionality, the
solution enables modern national identification systems to allow citizens to
access e-government services and conduct secure transactions. The solution also
provides citizens with improved secure and intelligent identity documents.

For example, with heightened security awareness at national borders, the
solution fulfills the new requirement to ensure traveler and citizen
credentials across an entire country or region.

In addition, the modular nature of the solution enables national and regional
governments to more easily plug in additional elements, such as biometrics, to
customize and balance the level of security and privacy as defined by a
government's policy and requirements.

Recent figures from industry analyst firm Morgan Keegan show that the worldwide
identity management market is approximately $4.8 billion and is estimated to
grow to approximately $10.7 billion in 2007.(1)

"The need to securely identify people moving across national and international
borders has never been more important than it is today," said Jim Ganthier,
worldwide leader, Defense, Intelligence and Public Safety, HP. "HP and
Microsoft are working together to provide government agencies the ability to
access the integrated data streams needed to securely identify people both in
the physical and virtual worlds."

Built using HP's expertise in national identity systems, security frameworks
and public key infrastructures (PKI), the HP NIS can be fully integrated into
the HP e-government framework and integrated into a nation's e-government
services delivery framework. The solution encompasses all the essential
national identification system attributes and functions, including:

     * Online and offline enrollment of demographic and biometric data
through live capture
     * Local request as well as regional/central verification and
registration
     * Multi-tier architecture
     * Secure management of the document lifecycle
     * Biometric and personalization subsystem integration
     * Online and offline identity verification
     * Fault tolerance and disaster recovery through design

HP and Microsoft are investing in the solution through initiatives such as
joint training programs and the establishment of specialist centers around the
world to further develop, demonstrate and sell national identity system
solutions.

The NIS leverages HP's extensive experience in delivering fully integrated
solutions, which include consulting and integration, desktops, servers,
management software and support services. Recognizing HP's .NET commitment and
unique capabilities, Microsoft has endorsed HP as its worldwide prime
integrator for Microsoft .NET technologies.

For the HP NIS solution, Microsoft supplies a wide range of software products
and technologies, including Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Microsoft
BizTalk Server 2004, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (64-bit), the Microsoft .NET
Framework and Microsoft Services.

"Microsoft recognizes that national governments and their principal agencies
have unique information technology requirements, particularly as more
governments look to implement e-government solutions," said Jan Muehlfeit, vice
president, Public Sector -EMEA, Microsoft. "Secure and reliable identification
and authentication of individuals helps power more useful and compelling
experiences for users and provides citizens easy and secure access to services.
Working with industry partners such as HP is an important step and will provide
public sector organizations with new technology solutions to address these key
customer concerns."

HP has successfully delivered innovative NIS solutions to a wide array of
national and regional governments. As part of working with this wide range of
customers, HP identity management solutions have spanned HP-UX, open source and
Microsoft platforms, as well as HP OpenView Identity Management software and
services.

The Italian Ministry of Interior, for example, is working with HP to provide
smart electronic national identity documents for all Italian citizens. The
initiative will assist particularly in the delivery of e-government services by
supplying secure access to government services portals and enabling transaction
authentication through digital signatures.

In addition, HP is connecting citizens in Israel, Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria
with new identity and entitlement documents such as passports, driving licenses
and identity cards to ensure security and public safety through improved and
counterfeit resistant technology.

For nearly two decades, HP and Microsoft have been working together to define
industry standards through joint development, testing and preparation of
leading PC and server solutions. During this time, Microsoft and HP have
participated in a variety of programs including Microsoft's Joint Development
Program, Rapid Development Program and Corporate Preview Program. Microsoft
also has designated HP as a Global Launch Partner.

NB: "moving across national and international borders" = internal passport.
