TORONTO, Nov. 20 /CNW/ - Route1 Inc.(TM) (TSX-V:ROI) today announced that its MobiKEY ultra-portable computing device has been recognized by Government Computer News (GCN) as a 'unique answer' to the perplexing problem of providing government employees with safe and secure access to network resources from remote locations. In a review published in the November 20 issue of GCN, the Route1 MobiKEY received high marks for its performance, features and value. According to the review, "The GCN Lab test network, especially at the end of the year following hundreds of experiments and before its annual clean-up, is best described as chaotic. There are programs, security devices, monitoring software logs and even active test routines flying back and forth, and all of them can be accessed from a master-client system where we installed MobiKEY. Then we attempted to do the same thing from the remote location. It was not very difficult." "Providing employees with secure access to their office computer, network resources, and other digital applications from any location in the world, does not need to be a complicated process," said Andrew White, CEO of Route1. "The GCN review very clearly reinforces this message." White continued: "The review also recognizes that our powerful and easy-to-use computing solution minimizes information security risks." The review notes that: "All data sent from your remote system to the host system is protected by 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, so you are leaving no trace of your work on the remote host, and your data can't be intercepted... This means you can even access your desktop from a public terminal and not have to worry that the next person in line will be able to read your mail." The full GCN review can be viewed at http://www.gcn.com/print/25_33/42600-1.html The MobiKEY is fully compliant with the recently mandated federal requirements for civilian agencies around the encryption of sensitive data on mobile devices and token- or card-based two-factor authentication for remote access. It is an ultra-portable computing solution embedded on a cryptographically-enabled USB token device that stores a user's identity to ensure secure access to desktop and network resources from any Internet-enabled, Windows-based PC. As a virus, malware and attack resistant solution, the MobiKEY eases concerns that network administrators have about exposure to vulnerabilities through access from outside corporate environments or when employees carry around a laptop or other mobile device loaded with confidential data and applications. Since access is initiated from inside the corporate firewall, MobiKEY completely eliminates the threat of unauthorized access.
