Business Wire, April 5, 2007

CRYPTOCard's AuthEngine Enables Scorpion Software to Build Token-Based Authentication into AuthAnvil for Microsoft's Small Business Server and Windows Server 2003

OTTAWA & LONDON -- CRYPTOCard (www.cryptocard.com), the leading authentication technology developer for heterogeneous environments, today announced that Scorpion Software, a provider of premium security solutions for SMBs has released AuthAnvil, a strong two-factor authentication solution developed using CRYPTOCard's AuthEngine SDK and designed specifically to run on Microsoft's (Nasdaq:MSFT) Small Business Server (SBS) and Windows Server product lines.

AuthAnvil enhances online trust and enables secure remote access to protected information assets by offering the ability to reliably prove user identities through the use of strong authentication. Utilizing CRYPTOCard's event-based KT-1 keychain tokens that generate new one-time passwords (OTP) for every login attempt, AuthAnvil makes it simple and cost-effective for small businesses to eliminate the risks associated with traditional static passwords.

AuthAnvil increases security by preventing reuse, sharing, or theft of passwords and thwarts phishing and other attacks targeting passwords. With AuthAnvil, users never need to remember passwords, reducing help desk calls and related costs. AuthAnvil also increases user satisfaction and productivity by removing the need to manage password changes, and makes it simple for SMBs to comply with new security legislation and privacy laws such as SOX and HSPD-12.

"Scorpion Software was able to demonstrate the power and flexibility of AuthEngine by developing in a matter of a few weeks, an effective and easy to use authentication solution that meets the needs of SMBs," said Bill LaHam, Vice President of Products and Business Development at CRYPTOCard. "AuthAnvil is an incredible solution - its tight integration with Small Business Server and well conceived management interface will have most SMBs authenticating in a matter of minutes."

"By using AuthEngine SDK, AuthAnvil is able to offer complete control over the authentication system provisioning, enforcement and workflow not only making AuthAnvil an incredibly easy and effective authentication solution to implement but also very attractive commercially," said Dana Epp, President & CEO, Scorpion Software.

AuthEngine is a major improvement in productivity and cost over traditional APIs that simply build a bridge between the custom application and a stand-alone authentication server. With AuthEngine there is never a need to purchase, install, and support a separate authentication server.

AuthEngine will appeal to:

* Web application developers, especially those building sophisticated workflow, subscription services and on-line self-service applications or using custom directories and databases. With AuthEngine, token-based authentication becomes "just another method"

* ISVs that want to improve their competitive edge and create additional revenue streams by adding, managing, or even licensing token authentication from within their product offering

* High Performance Computing environments that want to enforce token authentication in conjunction with Kerberos

AuthEngine is available to qualified developers and institutions. For more information, please visit www.cryptocard.com, or contact info@cryptocard.com.
