CHICAGO, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Aladdin Knowledge Systems (Nasdaq: ALDN),
a global leader in the field of Internet content and software security, today
announced the release of eToken PRO, the next generation portable USB-based
PKI authentication and signing device.
Utilizing state of the art Smartcard technology, eToken PRO offers robust
onboard RSA 1024-bit authentication, digital signing and key generation in
addition to 3xDES, SHA1 and MD5 algorithms. eToken PRO is the latest addition
to the eToken line of Internet security solutions, following the eToken R2
USB-key first released last year which featured an advanced DESX 120-bit
encryption engine.
eToken PRO offers an unmatched level of physical and logical protection
with Infineon's ITSEC E4 high smartcard chip security accreditation, and its
enhanced one-piece plastic housing, providing a tamper-evident and water-
resistant container. Offering fully portable and cost effective 2-factor and
2-way authentication, eToken PRO is among the most powerful devices for
securing PKI based network and e-Business services.
"Trusted security is vital in today's communication applications.
Combining the proven security level of Infineon's security controllers with
the speed of USB is a very promising approach using an existing
infrastructure," said Stefan Marquardt, Vice President and General Manager of
business unit Security ICs at Infineon Technologies. "Infineon supports this
approach and offers and develops optimized security controllers for products
like eToken PRO."
eToken PRO can work in conjunction with a robust eToken Software
Developer's Kit that uses non-proprietary security standards such as
Microsoft CAPI & PKCS11, and Siemens APDU commands, allowing for quick and
smooth integration. eToken PRO also offers out of the box connectivity to a
variety of standard security clients, like email, VPN's, Web browsers and
Network logon.
With its onboard 1024-bit RSA processor, eToken PRO is the ideal solution
for PKI enabled applications since all sensitive operations and signing
including PKI key generation, can be done in the secure environment on the
token itself, away from the hostile environment of the PC.
Participation in the eToken Solution Partner Program offers companies who
integrate with eToken or promote its implementation with streamlined technical
support and joint sales and marketing opportunities. Additional information on
the program can be obtained by e-mailing etoken@eAladdin.com.
"Aladdin's eToken PRO is the advancement in secure authentication that is
necessary for electronic commerce," said Jason Wright, Industry Analyst and
Program Leader of Security Technologies at Frost & Sullivan. "The ability to
store digital certificates used for authentication and encryption on a medium
that can be carried with a user provides a fundamentally secure model. Also,
the USB form factor allows eToken PRO to be used on any PC, precluding need
for additional investments in additional readers."
"Enabling Smartcard based on-board key generation, eToken PRO is
unequivocally the most secure and customizable token on the market," said
Leedor Agam, Vice President of eBusiness and eToken Solutions at Aladdin
Knowledge Systems. "eToken's completely portable and secure token supports PKI
with digital signatures powerful enough to provide total assurance for any
type of important online transactions. eToken PRO now stands as the optimal
choice for those in need of the strongest possible user authentication
methods."
