ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/13/06 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: IDWD) today announced
that IDS Homeland Security Divisions (HLS) introduction of HLS Biometric
384-Bit Encryption USB Flash Drive can serve an immediate need to the U.S.
Military IT Security as evidenced by the report out of Afghanistan of a
newspaper's discovery of stolen U.S. military computer drives showing up
for sale at local bazaars outside the large base here. The military

stated, "This type of security lapse occurring because of antiquated
technologies being used in the field to protect vital U.S. Military
information was exactly the scope of HLS executives discussions with the
U.S. Army at the ISC West Security Convention last week in Las Vegas. HLS
proprietary Biometric 384-Bit Encryption USB Flash Drives would make this
kind of security theft impossible after installation at U.S. Military Bases
and field command laptops and servers."
HLS is hopeful that government agencies will adopt this breakthrough
biometric encryption technology invented by HLS scientists, engineers and
programmers to prevent further theft of vital military and government data.
HLS Biometric 384-Bit Encryption USB Flash Drive is the highest level of
encryption in the world requiring a bank of Cray
Supercomputers 12 years to decode. HLS hot-plug-and-play USB Flash Drive is
the 1st product in the world to combine both biometric security and this
level of encryption technology in one device. HLS has already received $50
Million in orders since launching the product this quarter and is
projecting 1st year sales of $250 Million.
