e-Smart Technologies CEO Mary Grace to Address Biometrics World
Asia 2005 Annual Conference 


WASHINGTON, March 3  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- e-Smart Technologies, Inc. (OTC
Pink Sheets: ESMT), today announced that Mary Grace, President and CEO of
e-Smart Technologies, Inc., has been chosen as the only U.S. Smart Card Systems
executive to address the Biometrics World Asia 2005 Annual Conference in
Singapore.  Her address will take place on April 28.

The Biometrics World Conference and Exhibition brings together government and
private industry leaders to exchange information on all aspects of the use of
biometrics technologies.  Ms. Grace will be a featured speaker in the company
of experts from around the world including Brad Wing, U.S. Department of
Homeland Security; Dennis Quek, Immigration and Checkpoints Authority
Singapore; Raymond Wong, Immigration Department Hong Kong; Tim Morris, Asia
Pacific Mastercard International Singapore; Jonathan Mobbs, The Crim Tac Agency
Australia; Clive Reedman, UK Passport Service; David Curtis, Asia Pacific Smart
Card Forum, and John Secker, Biometrics Institute and National Manager,
Airports & Marine, New Zealand Customs.

Ms. Grace will address the conference on "Integrating Biometrics with Smart
Cards," including a detailed discussion about the company's advanced Biometric
Verification Security System(TM) (BVS2(TM)), a universal, interoperable, secure
operating platform, featuring the Super Smart Card(TM), believed by experts to
be the world's first commercially available interoperable, ISO compatible,
multi-application, biometric smart card with full on-card biometric matching
system and personal on-board biometric sensor, with both contact and wireless
compatibility.  The BVS2(TM) system is designed to provide complete protection
to its holder against identity-based crimes as well as to protect society from
the risk of misidentifying a person in a public situation where there exists
risk of harm or fraud due to misidentification.  Ms. Grace also has been chosen
to join Tim Morris, Mastercard International and David Curtis of the
Asia-Pacific Card Forum, for an interview session "Evaluating prospects for
biometrics in the payment industry."  Feature panelists will take questions on
the potential for biometrics in the banking and payment industry, with a focus
on use of biometrics by governments to prevent credit and bank payment card
financial fraud, identity theft and information (database) theft.

"To be the only U.S. biometrics company, among the foremost experts in
biometric technology from governments all over the world is quite an honor,"
said Ms. Grace.  "The use of smart cards and other biometric technology to
combat terrorism, financial fraud and identity theft is becoming the solution
that nations are embracing and I am very pleased that e-Smart has been chosen
to represent the industry at this important conference."

security systems that can be used to combat fraud and terrorism. e-Smart
