CRYPTOCard Launches CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Windows at Information Security World Australia: Sets New Standard in Windows LAN Logon Functionality & Apache Web Integration.

SYDNEY, Australia -- CRYPTO-Server 6.3's CRYPTO-Logon Provides "One-PIN-And-You're-In" ATM-Style Single-Sign-On Access For Desktops, VPNs, And Web Servers

CRYPTOCard (www.cryptocard.com), the leader in authentication technology, today announced the launch of CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Windows to provide centralized authentication and management capability emphasizing ease-of-use and tight integration within an Active Directory (AD) Domain Single Sign-On (SSO) environment. CRYPTO-Server 6.3 will enforce "One-Time-Password" two-factor authentication as the only way to access a workstation, in addition to locking down access through VPN's, Portals, WLANs, web servers and application access solutions from such industry leaders as Cisco (Nasdaq:CSCO), Juniper (Nasdaq:JNPR), F5 (Nasdaq:FFIV), Nortel (NYSE:NT/TSX:NT), and Checkpoint (Nasdaq:CHKP).

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 positively identify all users attempting VPN or Web-based access. CRYPTO-Logon makes it simple for a user to log on by entering their PIN ("One-PIN-and-You're-In"), and authenticating against the CRYPTO-Server - the user simply removes their multi-function smart card or USB token to log off.

CRYPTO-Server 6.3 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 or organizations to implement password change policies - eliminating the obvious security risk resulting from users writing down their passwords and also significantly reducing the help-desk costs associated with resetting forgotten passwords. CRYPTO-Server 6.3's CRYPTO-Logon functionality provides a simple, consistent ATM-style logon procedure for users, eliminating the user resistance usually associated with implementing an additional layer of security, and complements Microsoft Windows auditing and reporting with detailed access logs and reports to make it simple for organizations to meet compliance requirements for industry and government regulations.

"An organization cannot guarantee system security for itself or its partners if it cannot authenticate each individual user, and CRYPTO-Server 6.3's CRYPTO-Logon makes this a simple process for both administrators and staff," explained Malcolm MacTaggart, President & CEO, CRYPTOCard Corporation. "CRYPTO-Server 6.3 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 has no single point of failure - switching to a backup server in the event of system failure. Additionally, CRYPTO-Server 6.3 makes it easy for organizations to create a token-deployment database by reading on a real-time basis 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.

By coupling CRYPTOCard's CRYPTO-Logon 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'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).

CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Windows will ship on September 15th and is available for download from CRYPTOCard's website, or from distributors, integrators, and resellers throughout the world. A five-user bundle (all-you-need-in-1-box - the full server software plus five tokens) is available for $499 (SRP).

Malcolm MacTaggart, President & CEO, CRYPTOCard will also be presenting an educational seminar on Tuesday, September 6 and Wednesday, September 7 at Information Security World Australia.
