ActivCard Secure Remote Access Solution Shifts the Paradigm from Legacy and Leased Authentication Tokens

 New $15 Price and Lifetime Replacement Option for ActivCard Dynamic Password
       Tokens Makes Strong Authentication Affordable for the Mainstream

    SAN FRANCISCO, RSA Conference, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ActivCard
Corp. (Nasdaq: ACTI), a global provider of strong authentication and trusted
digital identity solutions today announced availability of ActivCard Tokens
starting at $15 with a Lifetime Replacement option*.
    Historically, one of the primary obstacles to deploying strong
authentication has been the high introductory and ongoing costs associated
with expensive leased token products that require renewal, re-licensing, and
repayment every few years.  ActivCard knows the value of strong authentication
and addresses the unique needs of IT managers -- and is now introducing this
business model to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing two-factor
authentication.
    "ActivCard customers are never burdened with forced licensing renewal of
tokens that wastes both time and money.  Unlike authenticators from other
vendors that can easily reach $70 for each device with no added functionality,
our perpetual-license tokens with lifetime replacement start at an affordable
price per user," stated Andy Smith, ActivCard Solutions Marketing Manager.
"The convenience and strength of ActivCard one-time-password technology allows
organizations to identify users with confidence and certainty."
    With this lower priced token from ActivCard, the cost of the
authentication device is reduced substantially for enterprise and government
organizations.  In addition, ActivCard Secure Remote Access customers
purchasing the advanced maintenance option are entitled to lifetime
replacement of tokens.  Starting at $15, this initial token savings, coupled
with the long-term benefits of lifetime replacement, furthers ActivCard's
commitment to cost-efficient digital identity solutions with proven return on
investment (ROI).
    The ActivCard solutions will be demonstrated in Booth # 1201 at the RSA
Conference from February 23 - 26.  In addition, the ActivCard Secure Remote
Access solution has been nominated for the SC Magazine Reader Trust Awards'
"Best Access Control Solution."  For more information and to vote for this
