Aladdin eToken Expands Its Strong Authentication Offering with New One-Time Password Authentication Solution

Aladdin eToken OTP authentication solution enables users to securely access digital corporate resources from anywhere -- in the office, at home, or on the road

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, February 15, 2005 - Aladdin Knowledge Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALDN), today announced general availability of the new Aladdin eToken NG-OTP hybrid token and the eToken One-Time Password (OTP) user authentication offering. With Aladdin eToken OTP, organizations can now implement cost effective and flexible strong user authentication, having the versatility to enable secure logon to the corporate network without the need for any client software installation or a USB connection.

The new eToken OTP offering is based on the eToken NG-OTP device, Aladdin's innovative smartcard-based hybrid token that enables secure access to organizational networks and applications in both connected mode (with the USB connection) and detached mode (with the one-time password).

By connecting their eToken NG-OTP devices into the computer's USB port, users can take advantage of the full suite of eToken smartcard-based solutions, including secure network access, VPN and web access, password management, PC protection, email security, digital signing of e-business transactions, and more. When a USB connection is not available - for example, in an Internet café or at the airport - users can still securely connect with the eToken. With the push of a button, the eToken NG-OTP displays a randomly generated one-time password that users can use to securely access their network.

The eToken OTP solution includes the eToken RADIUS server for back-end OTP authentication and integration with RADIUS-enabled applications, including leading VPN solutions, web access solutions, and more. The OTP solution is fully supported and managed by the Aladdin Token Management System (TMS), a comprehensive, standards-based management tool for complete enterprise-wide token deployment and life cycle management.

New Level of Flexibility

eToken NG-OTP is highly versatile, enabling a variety of strong authentication methods and security related solutions, all in one device. It is a highly secured device, with both OTP and PKI operations performed on-board the smartcard chip. eToken NG-OTP offers:

• A flexible user authentication infrastructure for all organizational needs
• Zero-footprint strong authentication
• Minimal IT effort and maintenance
• Full integration with eToken smartcard-based authentication and security services
• Robust management capabilities with Aladdin Token Management System (TMS)

"Now IT and security managers can fulfill their multiple authentication needs with one simple device, regardless of where a user is located," said Leedor Agam, vice president of the Aladdin eToken Business Unit. "We're pleased to offer a new level of flexible, yet powerful user authentication through the new Aladdin eToken One-Time Password solution."
