IDS Worldwide, Inc. CTO Awarded Best Professional Security Data Product Asia Pacific Region for 2004. New

IDS Worldwide, Inc. Reveals New Data Security Product With 384 Bit Data Encryption


ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 20, 2005 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC BB:IDWD.OB - News) today announced that IDS Worldwide, Inc. CTO, Yasar Khawar, Head of the Companys Homeland Security Division has been chosen by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Asia Pacific Region to be honored for the Best Professional Security Data Product for Asia Pacific Region for 2004.

This new technology, which encompasses 384 Bit Data Encryption 18 layers deep, is a quantum leap in protecting data being transmitted across the internet backbone. Most data security products currently on the market use 128 Bit Encryption Technology. It has been determined through testing and evaluation that it would take 12 years on mainframe computers to decipher this new encryption technology. IDS Worldwide, Inc. CEO Patrick Downs, stated, IDS is very proud of this accomplishment and related award by the IEEE for its talented CTO Mr. Khawar. Mr. Khawar has been the lightning rod behind many cutting edge technologies created by IDS Worldwide, Inc. for the Homeland Security and Biometric Divisions.
This new technology will enable more secure data transmissions that because of the time needed to decipher will make data transmissions using IDS 384 Bit Encryption Technology virtually hack-proof. This new encryption technology when combined with IDS current Biometric Security Products will enable banks, government agencies and VPN networks the ultimate security for their transmitted data. This new security technology once again pushes IDS Worldwide, Inc. to the forefront of protecting Fortune 500 companies and government agencies in securing their data transfers. Data Encryption Security Products have grown to a Multi-Billion Dollar market with increasing growth rates over the last few years.

IDS is pleased that once again IDS technologies have been judged by the leading organizational governing bodies to be some of the best new security products in the world. IDS Worldwide, Inc. expects this new 384 bit encryption technology to lead to significant revenue increases for the company.

IDS CTO, Mr. Yasar Khawar will travel to Thailand next week to be presented the award from the IEEE Professional Engineering Society of Asia Pacific Engineers Governing Body for this breakthrough technology.

IDS Worldwide, Inc. Addresses Certain Misleading Online Postings on Internet Message Boards

IDS Announces Posting of CTO Award on IDS Website


ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 2, 2005 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC BB:IDWD.OB - News) today announced that in response to several misleading message posts on fringe Internet stock message board sites that IDS' recent press release of an award to IDS CTO Yasar Khawar did not occur, IDS has posted a scanned copy of the picture of the award ceremony, and a copy of the award itself is posted on the corporate website news section.

Another prime example of misleading message posts, IDS has been informed that numerous times on the Internet there have been misleading messages posted, trying to convince investors that IDS is only a "mail drop," that are patently false. These posts went so far as to say they had "visited" IDS' address and that the company did not exist. IDS has been at the same office facility for years and occupies the major portion of the top floor of the SunTrust Bank building. The building operates a mailroom and overnight delivery service in Suite 100 of the 2nd floor of the building. Suite 100 is on the 2nd floor of the building where, had anyone visited, the receptionist would have informed them of our location on the 3rd floor, where we have been for years.
IDS also maintains, and has for years, a 32,000-sq.-ft. headquarters overseas, which it fully owns. IDS further will post pertinent investor information on a new section of the company's website at http://www.ids-worldwide.com to inform investors first hand on updates of various projects. This will occur next week following the overseas holiday of Eid, which started today and runs till Sunday.

IDS has experienced some vendor delays in getting all of the new equipment online at the data center, which is not uncommon in technology hardware deliveries. IDS hopes to have the last of this equipment installed this week and the upgraded 995ad.com loaded, including the feed under our Edmunds.com agreement soon thereafter. IDS technical teams worked today to resolve the final technical links to launch the Travel Section with the live feeds for the 70,000 hotels and resorts worldwide.

IDS further assures its stockholders that again, contrary to certain online postings on fringe stock information message boards, the special dividend is going forward and the audit overseas needed have been completed and the stock recall is continuing. The HLS buyout involves several closing requirements such as new contracts that have been achieved, security shipments in transit, and additional shipments received yesterday from Tyco division DSC at the Orlando warehouse facilities. These warehouse facilities also hold thousands of units of product under the NML contract whose infomercial is in the final stages of editing and preparing for relaunch on national TV; this is another example of timetables that were of no control to IDS. IDS will hold a Board meeting in the near future to try and finalize the ex-dividend date after all reports from tax and legal counsel.

Finally, IDS advises investors to look to the new section on IDS' website beginning next week that will have real updates that do not appear on these online message board sites as a real source of information. IDS will also have scanned copies of contracts for review regarding leases, contracts and other updates so investors will be able to see for themselves the real progress of the company.
