Exhibit 99.1

FOR RELEASE FRIDAY, AUGUST 6^TH @ 5:00 A.M. PACIFIC

SAFLINK CORPORATION AND SSP-LITRONIC

TO COMPLETE MERGER

Stockholders Approve Merger

BELLEVUE, WA AND IRVINE, CA (August 6, 2004) – SAFLINK Corporation (Nasdaq: SFLK), a leading provider of integrated biometric security solutions, and SSP Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSPX), dba SSP-Litronic, a leading provider of secure identity management and information assurance products, today announced that stockholders of each company approved the merger of SAFLINK Corporation and SSP-Litronic.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, first announced on March 22, 2004, stockholders of SSP-Litronic will receive 0.6 shares of common stock of SAFLINK Corporation for each share of common stock of SSP-Litronic they hold. The companies anticipate the merger will be effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time today. After the effective time of the merger, shares of SSP-Litronic common stock will cease trading on the Nasdaq National Market, and SSP-Litronic will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAFLINK.

The powerful combination of SSP-Litronic’s identity management products with SAFLINK’s biometric software creates a military-grade authentication solution. The integration of biometrics and smart cards brings advanced security to the enterprise, helping to secure sensitive access points from doorways to desktops. Together, the two companies will be able to provide government agencies and commercial enterprises with a scalable, reliable, and secure framework for identity and assurance management that covers network and application security, physical security, time and attendance, and regulatory compliance for automated manufacturing systems.

“As we have seen from recommendations in the 9/11 Commission Report and subsequent legislation such as HR 4914, biometrics will be required technology in many large-scale government security projects,” said Glenn Argenbright, President and CEO of SAFLINK. “In the majority of these projects, smart cards are specified as the preferred medium for delivering this technology—which, we believe, makes this merger very compelling. We are thrilled by this significant event in our company’s history, and extremely excited by the new prospects and opportunities that we believe this merger presents.”
