Business Wire, August 19, 2002

Wyse Winterm thin clients deliver the key elements of security -- authorization, authentication, integrity and confidentiality -- through four levels of security that complement server-based software. Security is provided through an enhanced user-name and password security shield built directly into the thin client, support for smart cards and biometric authentication devices, and the use of Citrix's Secure ICA protocol, providing up to 128-bit end-to-end encryption of an ICA data-stream.
