Sarvega and the Center for Advanced Defense Studies Create XML Security
Research Lab 

Leading Organizations Team to Investigate XML Security Threats for
Global 1000 Companies and Governments


Chicago, IL, November 24, 2004 -- Sarvega, Inc., the leading provider of
XML networking products, and the Center for Advanced Defense Studies
(CADS), a renowned think tank focusing on global information security
and defense initiatives, today announced the creation of the Advanced
XML Security Lab ("AXSL"). The two organizations will contribute
resources and expertise to AXSL to conduct advanced research into XML
Web Services security, XML vulnerabilities, and the secure exchange of
information amongst trading partners. Sarvega and CADS will investigate
technologies that will accelerate the adoption and use of XML Web
Services throughout the public and private sectors. 

Located in Washington, D.C., AXSL research will have implications for
multiple government and private sector information sharing initiatives
and systems interoperability. Its charter includes investigation of
threat scenarios and signatures that impact the deployment of XML Web
Services and secure information exchange. AXSL will conduct research of
technologies relevant to XML Web Services and information security with
the intent of making the technologies commercially available.
 
"CADS is highly regarded for its considerable expertise in global
defense and information security technologies and policies," said
Christopher Darby, president & CEO of Sarvega. "We are proud to be
associated with such a prestigious organization to investigate cyber
threats and security issues surrounding XML Web Services. The formation
of AXSL enables us to further our knowledge of XML and Web Services
vulnerabilities and to bring relevant products to market faster.
Business and government benefit from the focus and expertise that both
organizations bring to the lab." 

Dr. Newton Howard, founder and chairman of CADS stated, "We created the
lab to accelerate the understanding of threat signatures and security
issues associated with XML Web Services, and to facilitate an
understanding of the issues and technologies surrounding the secure
exchange of information among governments and trading partners.  Sarvega
is a leader in developing technologies and products that are essential
to this space. Their success in government and the private sector makes
Sarvega an ideal partner for CADS. We are pleased to be working with
them on such an important initiative."
