“CRYPTOCard announced its introduction of two new authentication
tokens — the KF-1 Key Fob token and the PT-1 token for Palm
handheld devices – with the next version of the company’s token
administration platform, CRYPTOAdmin 4.1. CRYPTOAdmin 4.1 features
a new user interface and capabilities that enable easier
administration for network security managers. It also includes
CRYPTOAgents, which automate the log-on process in dial-up, ISDN,
and telnet environments.”

CRYPTOAdmin 4.1 is free of charge to Red Hat Linux 6.1 and
CiscoSecure users.

“Unlike other key chain-based authentication tokens,
CRYPTOCard’s KF-1 is a durable, steel-cased unit that offers PIN
entry for activation. Only on activation does the KF-1 display the
password, thereby eliminating the risks presented by systems that
send the PIN in the clear across the network. Like CRYPTOCard’s
RB-1 token, the KF-1 uses dual replaceable batteries. It is
therefore a one-time purchase, with no predetermined expiration
date, providing customers with a significant value over competing
alternatives.”
