[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTORONTO, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - Route1 Inc.(TM) (TSX-V:ROI) today announced that\nits MobiKEY ultra-portable computing device has been recognized by Government\nComputer News (GCN) as a 'unique answer' to the perplexing problem of\nproviding government employees with safe and secure access to network\nresources from remote locations. In a review published in the November 20\nissue of GCN, the Route1 MobiKEY received high marks for its performance,\nfeatures and value.\nAccording to the review, \"The GCN Lab test network, especially at the end\nof the year following hundreds of experiments and before its annual clean-up,\nis best described as chaotic.

It was not\nvery difficult.\"\n\"Providing employees with secure access to their office computer, network\nresources, and other digital applications from any location in the world, does\nnot need to be a complicated process,\" said Andrew White, CEO of Route1. \"The\nGCN review very clearly reinforces this message.\"\nWhite continued: \"The review also recognizes that our powerful and\neasy-to-use computing solution minimizes information security risks.\" The\nreview notes that: \"All data sent from your remote system to the host system\nis protected by 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, so you\nare leaving no trace of your work on the remote host, and your data can't be\nintercepted... This means you can even access your desktop from a public\nterminal and not have to worry that the next person in line will be able to\nread your mail.\"\nThe full GCN review can be viewed at\nhttp://www.gcn.com/print/25_33/42600-1.html\nThe MobiKEY is fully compliant with the recently mandated federal\nrequirements for civilian agencies around the encryption of sensitive data on\nmobile devices and token- or card-based two-factor authentication for remote\naccess. It is an ultra-portable computing solution embedded on a\ncryptographically-enabled USB token device that stores a user's identity to\nensure secure access to desktop and network resources from any\nInternet-enabled, Windows-based PC.\nAs a virus, ma...
