OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., and ZURICH, Switzerland, June 12 , 2007- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI) (www.vasco.com), theleading software security company specializing in authentication products, todayannounced that it has strengthened its Digipass product line with Digipass 840Comfort Voice (CV). This  speaking Digipass card reader is especially designed forblind and visually impaired Internet users. The product is immediately available.

VASCOÂ's mission is to be the Full Option, All-Terrain Authentication company. Thismeans that strong authentication has to be available for everyone. The launch ofDigipass 840 Comfort Voice fits perfectly with this logic, as did the launch ofDigipass 300 Comfort Voice in 2006. A person with reduced eyesight will now be ableto have the same high level of Digipass security as other e-bank account holders ore-commerce users. All Digipass client authentication products are supported by oneand unique core authentication engine, VACMAN Controller. This means that companiescan choose which type of client authentication device they offer to their differentuser/customer segments.

Digipass 840 Comfort Voice Features:- speech based user interface;- speech based feedback of entered data and selected functions;- e-signature and one-time password functionality, converted into voice;- use of built-in speaker or headset;- large display and keypad, with oversized tactile keys;- supports Digipass standard, EMV-CAP, VISA dynamic password authentication 1.1,German Sm@rt TAN, Belgian eID Card

 Accessibility is one of the most important success factors for any e-commerceapplication, said Jan Valcke, VASCOÂ's President and COO.  Unfortunately, fewtechnology vendors have an eye for the needs of visually impaired consumers. As aconsequence, this user segment doesnÂ't reach the e-commerce vendorsÂ' offering. Byoffering speech enabled Digipass client authentication products, VASCO makese-banking and e-commerce accessible for the blind and visually impaired. Worldwide,over 20 leading banks already offer speech enabled Digipasses to a part of theircustomer base.Â
