                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
                    ----------------------------------------


        I, Robert J. Weiskopf, Chief Financial Officer of Aware, Inc., certify
that:

        1.      I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Aware,
Inc.;

        2.      Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
this quarterly report;

        3.      Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly
report;

        4.      The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible
for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we have:

                a)      designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
        caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
        supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
        registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
        by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
        this quarterly report is being prepared;

                b)      evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
        disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this quarterly
        report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
        controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
        quarterly report based on such evaluation; and

                c)      disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the
        registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred
        during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
        fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
        materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
        registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

        5.      The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's
board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

                a)      all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
        the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
        which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability
        to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

                b)      any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
        management or other employees who have a significant role in the
        registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
