CRYPTOCard Launches CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix at Citrix iForum in Las Vegas (Pod 7A): Provides Highly-Secure Two-Factor Authentication for Citrix's ''Access-on-Demand'' Computing.

LAS VEGAS -- CRYPTO-Server 6.3's CRYPTO-Logon Provides Simple "One-PIN-And-You're-In" ATM-Style Single-Sign-On Access To Citrix's Productivity Suites And Applications

CRYPTOCard (www.cryptocard.com), the leader in authentication technology, today announced the launch of CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix (Nasdaq:CTXS) to provide Citrix users with centralized authentication and management capability emphasizing ease-of-use and tight integration within an Active Directory (AD) Domain Single Sign-On (SSO) environment. Retaining Citrix MetaFrame/Presentation Server's authorization constraints to provide users with the familiar look and feel of the Citrix environment, CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix plugs straight into Citrix's Password Manager to enforce "One-Time-Password" two-factor authentication as the only way to access a workstation - providing Citrix users with a uniform logon experience whether accessing a resource via Web Interface, MetaFrame Secure Access Manager, or ICA client.

CRYPTO-Server couples something in the user's possession (a multi-function smart card, USB dongle token, hardware token, or software token), with something the user knows (their PIN), to make it simple to enhance Citrix's "access-on-demand" computing security by positively identifying all users attempting VPN or Web-based access. CRYPTO-Server 6.3's CRYPTO-Logon eliminates the user resistance usually associated with implementing an additional layer of security by providing a simple, consistent ATM-style logon procedure. A user simply enters their PIN ("One-PIN-and-You're-In") to authenticate against the CRYPTO-Server and removes their multi-function smart card or USB token to log off. CRYPTO-Server 6.3 then generates a unique password for every log-on attempt, making stolen credentials useless to hackers while simultaneously negating the need for users to memorize complicated credentials - eliminating the security risk resulting from users writing down their passwords and also significantly reducing the help-desk costs associated with resetting forgotten passwords.

"An organization cannot guarantee system security for itself or its partners if it cannot authenticate each individual user, and CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix's CRYPTO-Logon makes this a simple process for both Citrix server administrators and users," explained Malcolm MacTaggart, President & CEO, CRYPTOCard Corporation. "CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix is the only solution to not only positively identify all desktop and remote users, but also make it simple to authenticate the more than 13 million web servers running on Apache - CRYPTOCard's Five-User Bundle also makes true two-factor authentication a cost-effective reality for any sized company."

A true enterprise solution offering "High Availability," CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix has no single point of failure - switching to a backup server in the event of system failure. CRYPTO-Server also makes it easy for organizations to create a token-deployment database by reading in real-time from Active Directory, while the solution's CRYPTO-Deploy component makes it equally simple for administrators to instantly distribute software tokens from any computer, to any user. CRYPTO-Server's versatile software tokens can reside on a user's desktop, laptop, multi-function smart card, or Pocket PC.

Ideal for high-security environments that require instant access from anywhere, anytime, using any device, over any connection, CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix also includes CRYPTOCard's innovative "Follow-Me Computing" that makes it easy for Citrix Presentation Server users to start a remote session by simply inserting their CRYPTOCard multi-function smart card or USB dongle token, and entering their PIN. Then, after logging off by simply removing their authentication device, the user is free to reinsert their smart card or USB dongle token and enter their PIN at another thick-client or thin-client terminal to resume the same session at exactly the point at which it was suspended (e.g. Cell D3, in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) - the applications literally follow the user around the building or campus. By coupling "Follow-Me Computing" with the door access capability of CRYPTOCard's multi-function smart card, an administrator can also ensure that users have to log off after every session in order to be able to travel around the campus - eliminating the considerable security risk associated with users leaving a computer logged on - particularly in the health services, government, and financial services sectors.

CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix's other components include CRYPTO-Kit, which provides developers with the tools to make it simple to integrate CRYPTOCard's technology with existing security applications/systems; CRYPTO-Deploy, to facilitate the deployment and activation of tokens; and CRYPTO-Migration; which provides RSA Migration functionality that enables organizations to switch from an alternative system (CRYPTOCard's tokens, with replaceable batteries, are deployed once and can be utilized indefinitely).

As a Citrix iForum Special, a five-user bundle (all-you-need-in-one-box - the full server software plus five tokens) is available for $349 (SRP), a $150 saving on the regular price. CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Citrix will ship on October 15 and is available for download from CRYPTOCard's website, or from distributors, integrators, and resellers worldwide.
