Aladdin eToken and IdenTrust Provide Certificate-Based Authentication, Encryption and Digital Signing Solutions for Secure Financial Transactions

CHICAGO, IL–(EMWNews – July 15, 2008) – Aladdin

Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN), an information security leader

specializing in authentication, software DRM and content security, today

announced a partnership with IdenTrust, who possesses the only global

bank-centric identity network, to provide identity authentication solutions

for secure online banking and financial transactions.

Aladdin and IdenTrust are collaborating to offer certificate-based two-factor

authentication for unmatched security, enabling financial organizations

in the United States, Europe and Asia to implement next-generation

technology to improve the security of e-commerce, fight identity theft,

increase customer trust and drive revenue.

Aladdin and IdenTrust will develop joint initiatives to drive future

innovation and expand the options available for secure online banking and

other industries requiring globally interoperable certificate-based

transactions. A premier provider of authentication solutions to global financial

institutions and the United States government, IdenTrust has won numerous

awards and received global recognition from Ernst and Young, Bank

Technology News and Financial-i.

Aladdin eToken

PRO is certified by IdenTrust to be compliant with the IdenTrust Rule

Set, which provides a standards-based approach for identity authentication

and validation developed by the global financial services community and

accepted in more than 175 countries. The IdenTrust Rule Set delivers an

interoperable framework that enables regulatory compliance for

high-assurance identities which are legally binding and universally

applicable for all forms of electronic transactions.

“IdenTrust is partnering with Aladdin to complement our bank-issued

identity credentials, providing high-quality and robust smartcard

technology that financial institutions and their customers can trust and

rely upon,” said Karen Wendel, Chief Executive Officer at IdenTrust.”

Authentication, Encryption and Digital Signatures

IdenTrust validates the identity associated with the transaction, but not

the data associated with the transaction — preserving the integrity and

confidentiality of transmitted data. Online banking conducted while

authenticated with the Aladdin-IdenTrust solution is encrypted, making data

inaccessible to unauthorized persons as well as eliminating phishing and

man-in-the-middle attacks. Secure digital signatures authorize electronic documents,

emails and transactions to the same level of legal protection as

traditional ink-and-paper signatures.

Compliance

Combining authentication, encryption and digital signing, the

Aladdin-IdenTrust solution assists organizations in complying with a

multitude of regulatory requirements including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), HIPAA,

PCI, and FFIEC initiatives for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your

Customer (KYC).

“IdenTrust certification of Aladdin eToken is a testament to the strength

of eToken in the global authentication market,” said Phil Pavay, vice

president of global business development at Aladdin Knowledge Systems. “By

partnering with IdenTrust, Aladdin is able to expand the range of eToken

services to incorporate IdenTrust’s globally-recognized Trust Network

certificates for the highest security in online financial transactions.”
