Red Hat commits to supporting each version of RHEL for 7 years after its release. 3 Or 4 And SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 CRYPTOCard (www.cryptocard.com), a leader in authentication technology, is proud to announce that it has been certified as a Red Hat (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities.

CRYPTOCard will underscore why it was accepted into the Red Hat Ready Partner Program by exhibiting CRYPTO-Server 6.3 for Linux, the only authentication solution designed specifically for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) is a Linux distribution supplied by Novell, targeted at the business market. It is targeted for servers, but can be installed on Desktop computers for testing as well. New versions are released at an interval of 18-24 months. 9, for the first time in Europe at LinuxWorld Germany (Hall 4, Booth E06). Part of the Open Power Solutions Village at LinuxWorld Germany, CRYPTOCard will work alongside German distributor, Senetec GmbH, to demonstrate CRYPTO-Server's centralized authentication and management capability, emphasizing ease-of-use and tight integration with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) A protocol used to access a directory listing. LDAP support is implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs, which can query an LDAP-compliant directory. directory services. Visitors will also learn how to enforce two-factor authentication as the only way to access a Linux workstation, or lock down access through VPN's, Portals, and web servers, regardless of the desktop computing environment. Incorporating CRYPTOCard's familiar ATM-style "One-PIN-And-You're-In" logon, that has proven to eliminate the user resistance usually encountered when organizations attempt to implement an additional layer of security, CRYPTO-Server couples something in the user's possession (a multi-function smart card, hardware token, or software token), with something the user knows (their PIN), to make it simple to positively identify all Linux users attempting VPN or Web-based access. The user simply logs on through the graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to , enters their PIN & authenticates against the CRYPTO-Server - remove card, display manager (KDM, GDM, XDM) logon locks station. By generating a unique password for every log-on attempt, CRYPTO-Server makes stolen credentials useless to hackers while simultaneously ensuring users no longer have to memorize complicated credentials - significantly reducing the help-desk costs associated with resetting forgotten passwords, and the obvious security risk resulting from users writing down their passwords. CRYPTO-Server's Remote access functionality offers support for PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using , SSH, Samba, and VPN and can be used in conjunction with a Smart Card to experience "One-PIN-and-You're-In." "Being recognized as a Red Hat Ready Partner underscores CRYPTOCard's true commitment to the Linux platform," commented Malcolm MacTaggart, President & CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , CRYPTOCard Corporation. "An organization cannot guarantee system security if it cannot authenticate each individual user, and with the introduction of CRYPTO-Logon, CRYPTO-Server makes this a simple process for the fast-growing number of Linux users," MacTaggart continued. "CRYPTOCard is proud to be the first authentication provider to provide Linux users with true ATM-style 'One-PIN-and-You're-In' secure desktop, web, and remote access."
