Aladdin announces release of integrated toolkit for developing Smartcard-based applications.LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1995--Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ/NMS:ALDNF) will announce the release of ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise) A relational DBMS from Sybase that runs on Windows NT/2000, Linux and a variety of Unix platforms. ASE is a comprehensive and robust data management product with a long history dating back to the late 1980s. (TM), the Aladdin Smartcard Environment, at FALL COMDEX The former, premier computer trade show in the U.S. Although it grew into an end user event, it was originally created for dealers and distributors (it was the COMputer Dealers EXposition). '95. Aladdin is a leading supplier of advanced solutions and security systems for software developers. ASE is the first product to offer software developers and systems integrators a modular environment for developing smartcard-based applications. The ASE system's 3 components give developers all the elements required to develop full-functioning smartcard-based applications: ASESoft, an integrated library of software interfaces and utilities; ASEDrive, a versatile read/write smartcard drive; and ASECard, a range of smartcards to suit various needs and functions. The ASE system's modular structure makes it ideal for developing both mass and small audience smartcard-based applications, including access control, authentication, community services, computer security, education, electronic payment, healthcare, and transportation, to name a few. ASE's strengths include high levels of flexibility, reliability, and ease-of-use. Interoperability and multiple-application functionality make ASE a highly cost-effective solution. And because it supports smartcards of many types, from many manufacturers, ASE provides developers with a single standardized solution (Chem.) a solution which is used as a reagent, and is of a known and standard strength; specifically, a normal solution, containing in each cubic centimeter as many milligrams of the element in question as the number representing its atomic weight; thus, a normal solution of silver to meet all their requirements. Security is one of ASE's core strengths. Sophisticated encryption algorithms and anti-debugging mechanisms combine to provide a high-security architecture that safeguards data integrity. ASE also lets developers implement advanced security functions, including authentication, electronic purse, and public key cryptography An encryption method that uses a two-part key: a public key and a private key. To send an encrypted message to someone, you use the recipient's public key, which can be sent to you via regular e-mail or made available on any public Web site or venue. . ASE Developer's Kits are now available, as well as separate ASEDrives and ASECards. Smartcards are plastic credit-card-like cards which include an embedded microprocessor Embedded microprocessors are essentially microprocessors that are used in everyday electronic devices, such as cellular telephones, household appliances, automobiles, or virtually any electronic device you could think of. or memory chip. Smartcards offer an efficient, portable and secure means for guaranteeing the integrity of exchanged information and for transferring data, satisfying a real need in the Information Age. Well over a billion smartcards are expected to be in use by the year 2000. As the global demand for smartcards expands, ASE gives developers the first all-round, versatile tool for taking advantage of this new business opportunity.
