VeriSign to expand Internet Infrastructure in India

* Regional Internet Resolution Site Planned for Early 2008 will be India's First; Part of VeriSign's Global Project Titan Initiative

Mumbai, India - February 11, 2008 - VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the leading provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, today announced its intentions to locate a new Regional Internet Resolution Site (RIRS) in India, one of the most rapidly expanding Internet nations in the region.

The new site will help support Internet traffic for .com and .net, and help provide Internet users in India with enhanced performance and greater stability. The move is part of Project Titan, VeriSign's multi-year initiative to strengthen the critical Internet infrastructure and expand its capacity tenfold by the year 2010. These upgrades are vital to managing the surge in Internet interactions and helping to protect against cyber attacks that are growing in both scale and sophistication.

"The recent connectivity issues in Asia have demonstrated the severe impact outages and disruptions have on the global community - placing an increasing burden on having reliable and secure infrastructure," said Ken Silva, chief technical officer for VeriSign. "Because of our Project Titan strategy, VeriSign's servers were still able to process and receive queries during the Internet outage. The placement of a Regional Internet Resolution Site in India is part of VeriSign's continuing commitment to expanding and strengthening the global Internet infrastructure that so many rely on for their communications and commerce needs. Additionally, we are committed to help meet the increasing demands for Internet capacity in India."

According to a September 2007 Internet World Stats report, Internet users in India have surpassed 60 million. The planned RIRS will help support the millions of daily Internet queries from Internet users in the region, help provide faster responses to Internet address queries, and will assist VeriSign in identifying and isolating potential attacks on infrastructure in their early stages.

Worldwide Internet traffic volume continues to increase with the emergence of consumer-driven services, the surge in web-connected wireless devices and the proliferation of DNS-centric technologies. Since 2000, the volume of Internet traffic on VeriSign's global infrastructure has increased from an average of 1 billion domain name system queries per day to peaks of more than 33 billion queries per day today.

VeriSign's Project Titan will increase its daily DNS query capacity from 400 billion queries a day to more than 4 trillion queries a day and will increase the aggregate network bandwidth of its primary resolution sites from over 20 gigabits per second (Gbps) to greater than 200 Gbps per second. VeriSign also plans to expand its deployment of Regional Internet Resolution Sites, similar to the one being deployed in India, to more than 100 locations across the globe by 2010.
