The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs Government of the Netherlands is currently evaluating PurLINK for the secure delivery of applications such as Microsoft Outlook Web Access.

"MobiKEY's two-factor authentication solution has exceeded our criteria for highly secure, access to our resources and applications," said Jan Flippo, Chief Information Officer for the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "Our new partnership and collaboration with Route1 could lead to the growth of government-specific solutions, based upon their breadth of high assurance identity and entitlement-based technologies."

Leveraging G&D's global brand strength and presence, the PurLINK-based offering for high-assurance on-line banking will be delivered on G&D's extensive line of StarSign(R) products.

"Identity theft is growing to epidemic proportions," said Andrew White, Route1's President and CEO. "Today's common Internet-connected systems, running military and government web GUIs, are proven to be full of security holes. PurLINK mitigates these highly malicious threats, and delivers the ultimate level of assurance demanded by all levels of enterprise."
