EXHIBIT 14.1



VALIDIAN CORPORATION

CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS



OVERVIEW



This Code of Conduct and Ethics sets forth the guiding principles by which we operate our company and conduct our daily business with our stockholders, customers, vendors and with each other. These principles apply to all of the directors, officers and employees of Validian Corporation. (the Company).



PRINCIPLES



Complying with Laws, Regulations, Policies and Procedures



All directors, officers and employees of the Company are expected to understand, respect and comply with all of the laws, regulations, policies and procedures that apply to them in their positions with the Company. Employees are responsible for talking to their supervisors to determine which laws, regulations and Company policies apply to their position and what training is necessary to understand and comply with them.



Directors, officers and employees are directed to specific policies and procedures available to persons they supervise.



Conflicts of Interest



All directors, officers and employees of the Company should be scrupulous in avoiding any action or interest that conflicts with, or gives the appearance of a conflict with, the Companys interests. A conflict of interest exists whenever an individuals private or business interests interfere or conflict in any way (or even appear to interfere or conflict) with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when a director, officer or employee or a member of his or her family receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Company, whether from a third party or from the Company. Company employees are encouraged to utilize the Companys products and services, but this should generally be done on an arms length basis and in compliance with applicable law.



All directors, officers and employees of the Company are obligated to disclose potential and actual conflicts of interest as and when they arise. Subject to any pre-existing fiduciary duty which exists prior to the time of becoming a director, officer or employee of the Company, all directors, officers and employees of the Company are prohibited from participating in any transaction that is or may pose a conflict of interest with the Company without the prior written consent of the Company.



If a conflict of interest shall arise, our directors, officers and employees shall act in a manner expected to advance and protect the Companys interests, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary duties. Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if a question arises, an officer or employee should consult with higher levels of management, the board of directors or company counsel. Any employee, officer or director who becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should bring it to the attention of a supervisor, manager or other appropriate personnel.



Corporate Opportunity



Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from (a) taking for themselves personally opportunities that properly belong to the Company or are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position; (b) using corporate property, information or position for personal gain; and (c) subject to pre-existing fiduciary obligations, competing with the Company. Directors, officers and employees owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.



Confidentiality



Directors, officers and employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or its suppliers or customers, except when disclosure is specifically authorized by the board of directors or required by laws, regulations or legal proceedings. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might

be material to investors or of use to competitors of the Company or harmful to the Company or its customers or employees if disclosed.



Fair Dealing



We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly. We seek competitive advantages through superior performance, never through unethical or illegal business practices. Stealing proprietary information, possessing or utilizing trade secret information that was obtained without the owners consent or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited.



Each director, officer and employee is expected to deal fairly with the Companys customers, suppliers, competitors, officers and employees. No one should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair dealing.



Protection and Proper Use of the Company Assets



All directors, officers and employees should protect the Companys assets and ensure their efficient use. All Company assets should be used only for legitimate business purposes.



Public Company Reporting



As a public company, it is of critical importance that the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission be accurate and timely and not contain any known material misrepresentation or omission. Depending on their position with the Company, an employee, officer or director maybe called upon to provide necessary information to assure that the Companys public reports are complete, fair and understandable. The Company expects employees, officers and directors to take this responsibility very seriously and to provide prompt accurate answers to inquiries related to the Companys public disclosure requirements.



Inside Information and Securities Trading



The Companys directors, officers or employees who have access to material, non-public information are not permitted to use that information for stock trading purposes or for any purpose unrelated to the Companys business. It is also against the law to trade or to tip others who might make an investment decision based on inside company information. For example, using non-public information to buy or sell the Company stock, options in the Company stock or the stock of any Company supplier, customer or competitor is prohibited. The consequences of insider trading violations can be severe. These rules also apply to the use of material, nonpublic information about other companies (including, for example, our customers, competitors and potential business partners). In addition to employees, these rules apply to an employees spouse, children, parents and siblings, as well as any other family members living in the employees home.



Financial Statements and Other Records



All of the Companys books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Companys transactions and must both conform to applicable legal requirements and to the Companys system of internal controls.  Unrecorded or off the books funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation.



Records should always be retained or destroyed according to the Companys record retention policies. In accordance with those policies, in the event of litigation or governmental investigation, please consult the board of directors.



Improper Influence on Conduct of Audits



No director or officer, or any other person acting under the direction thereof, shall directly or indirectly take any action to coerce, manipulate, mislead or fraudulently influence any public or certified public accountant engaged in the performance of an audit or review of the financial statements of the Company if that person knows or should know that such action, if successful, could result in rendering the Companys financial statements materially misleading. Any person who believes such improper influence is being exerted should report such action to such persons supervisor, or if that is impractical under the circumstances, to any of our directors.

Reporting Illegal or Unethical Behavior



Employees, officers and directors who suspect or know of violations of this Code or illegal or unethical business or workplace conduct by employees, officers or directors have an obligation to contact either their supervisor or superiors. If the individuals to whom such information is conveyed are not responsive, or if there is reason to believe that reporting to such individuals is inappropriate in particular cases, then the employee, officer or director may contact the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company. Such communications will be kept confidential to the extent feasible. If the employee is still not satisfied with the response, the employee may contact the chairman of the board of directors or any of the Companys outside directors.



Accounting Complaints



The Companys policy is to comply with all applicable financial reporting and accounting regulations.  If any director, officer or employee of the Company has unresolved concerns or complaints regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters of the Company, then he or she is encouraged to submit those concerns or complaints (anonymously, confidentially or otherwise) to the Companys directors.  Subject to their legal duties, the directors will treat such submissions confidentially.



Non-Retaliation



The Company prohibits retaliation of any kind against individuals who have made good faith reports or complaints of violations of this Code or other known or suspected illegal or unethical conduct.



Amendment, Modification and Waiver



This code may be amended or modified by the board of directors of the Company. Only the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors with specific delegated authority may grant waivers of this Code of Conduct and Ethics. Waivers will be disclosed to stockholders as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder and the applicable rules of the American Stock Exchange.
