   ZUG, Switzerland -- February 25, 2021 -- WISeKey International Holding 
("WISeKey", SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading cybersecurity IoT 
company, today announced that its PKI Digital Certification technology 
can generate Certified Digital Vaccination Certificates (DVC) to be used 
as a proof of evidence for those who have received coronavirus vaccines. 
 
   Digital Vaccine Certificates will facilitate the reopening of businesses 
and help societies to return to normal operating practices, but 
complexities on the different standards used to issue vaccination 
certificates make it very difficult for users to be able to prove that 
they have received the vaccine.  As more countries continue to scale 
vaccination efforts and the number of vaccinated people increases over 
the coming months, DVC will become an important tool to help monitor and 
manage the effective rollout of vaccinations. DVC will also allow the 
global economy to get back on track quickly and safely by accelerating 
the recovery of the tourism and airline industry, which are critical 
sources of revenue for many developing countries. 
 
   WISeKey's PKI Digital Certification solid technology can assist law 
enforcement and other public service organizations control and minimize 
health risks during the de-escalation phase of the pandemic and the 
rollout of the vaccination process, and DVC can serve as official proof 
for those who have had the coronavirus vaccine.  DVC is a form of ID 
consisting of data related to the vaccine, such as date, type, and place 
of vaccination, and other relevant information. All vaccination details 
are digitalized, encrypted and linked to the user's identity. Encryption 
of data protects user's confidential information, ensures that health 
credentials are up to date, and in compliance with all privacy 
requirements, such as the European General Data Protection Regulation 
(Directive 95/46/EC), known as GDPR, the primary law regulating how 
companies protect EU citizens' personal data. WISeKey is a fully 
Qualified Trust Service Provider (TSP) under eIDAS, the updated EU 
regulations dealing with trusted eID and electronic transactions and

   Europol has warned the public about the potential harm of offline and 
online scams offering counterfeited versions of the COVID-19 vaccine and 
the huge health, social and economic risks associated with 
disinformation shared by criminals to defraud individuals and companies. 
Although the World Health Organization has been issuing paper "yellow 
cards" that act as certificates of vaccination for international 
travelers, these paper certificates could be subject to fraudulent 
activities.
