SANTA ANA, Calif., and ISMANING, Germany, February 7, 2012 (euro
adhoc) - Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a
provider of products and services for the identification, security
and RFID industries, today announced that it has provided the Dutch
Ministry of Defense (MoD) with 59,500 SmartFold smart card readers
that enable secure access to the ministry´s computer network for MoD
employees working remotely.

The Dutch MoD selected the Identive readers based on their security
and flexibility. Much of the information being accessed from the
ministry´s network is restricted or sensitive, which creates specific
policy requirements for how the data must be managed. The SmartFold
readers fit easily into the MoD´s existing network security
infrastructure and allow remote PCs to unlock applications and data
with the same level of security as internal workstations. Technology
solutions provider SCC, Identive´s distribution partner in the
Netherlands, assisted the Dutch MoD in selecting the SmartFold
readers.

Dr. Manfred Mueller, executive vice president of Identive Group and
managing director of the Company´s ID Infrastructure division said,
"We are pleased that the Dutch Ministry of Defense has standardized
on an Identive smart card reader for remote network access. We are
also pleased to add The Netherlands to the growing list of more than
30 government customers for which we provide solutions to help
protect their IT assets."

The SmartFold SCR3500 mini USB reader is a fully ISO7816 compliant
contact smart card reader suitable for a wide range of application
areas for government, enterprise and home use. Due to its small
design, the SmartFold reader is ideal for remote access applications.

About Identive Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV) is
focused on building the world´s signature company in Secure ID. The
company´s products, software, systems and services address the
markets for identity management, physical and logical access control,
