LONDON, April 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- Integration of Industry-Leading Authentication Server Provides
Essential Security Tool for Enterprise Organizations Deploying Portable
Security Devices

Infosecurity Europe Conference, Stand #L78 -- IronKey, maker of the
world's most secure USB memory stick, today announced a strategic partnership
with CRYPTOCard, a leading developer of two-factor authentication technology,
in order to integrate CRYPTOCard's trusted authentication technology with
IronKey Enterprise USB devices.

All IronKey Enterprise devices now ship with CRYPTOCard One Time Password
(OTP) technology, which provides a two-factor authentication for CRYPTOCard's
BlackShield ID Authentication Server without the need for additional physical
tokens. Integrating CRYPTOCard authentication with IronKey devices
significantly reduces the time needed for enterprises to deploy and manage
authentication.

"We are pleased to partner with IronKey to deliver an unprecedented
security solution for the enterprise," said Neil Hollister, CEO, CRYPTOCard.
"By embedding our token technology into the IronKey device, we are able to
answer our customers demands for a completely portable, two-factor
authentication, remote access solution via a device they will be carrying
anyway, and eliminating the need to carry a separate token. By including our
unique 'one pin and you're in' software solution, user access to their remote
network or Web application is as simple as it is today, but with key risks
mitigated."

IronKey is leading the emerging market for all-inclusive Portable
Security Devices (PSDs) that provide secure storage along with a range of
active security features. Comprehensive layers of protection on IronKey
Enterprise devices include hardware encryption, strong authentication, secure
Web browsing, identity management and malware protection.

flexibility of anywhere, anytime access while ensuring that it is done
securely," said Steve Ryan, senior vice president of business development at
IronKey. "The integration of CRYPTOCard's technology with the IronKey enables
us to provide comprehensive security and personal value to enterprise users
on one convenient, easy-to-use, converged device combining secure storage
