Aladdin to Offer Internet Security Technology Based on New-Generation Pentium-R III Processor with INTEL!!!!!!!!! Aladdin will offer a comprehensive security toolkit to take advantage of the new processor serial number feature NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 1999-- Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. www.aks.com, (NASDAQ: ALDNF - news), a global leader in the field of Internet and software security, today announced that it is developing, working with Intel, to develop an Internet security verification framework for the new Intel Pentium® III processor. Intel recently announced that it will be embedding a processor serial number in every Pentium III processor, thus enabling the utilization of the processor for verification processes previously implemented off-processor. Aladdin will be the provider of this secure framework to any vendor wishing to develop processor serial number-enabled applications for the Internet. These include: - Internet access - System verification - e-Commerce The framework includes Tamper Resistant Software (TRS) Agent, a vital element that defends the processor serial number against attempts by an attacker to ''spoof'' it. The TRS will be based on the secure API and Shell technology that forms the basis of Aladdin's HASP software security system, recently rated well ahead of its main competitor by the National Software Testing Laboratories. ''With its 15 year's experience and its leadership in developing security solutions, Aladdin is ideally positioned to work with Intel on this new approach to PC security,'' says Aladdin CEO and President, Yanki Margalit. ''We will be providing the key security element that will enable processor serial number to be the platform for a new generation of security applications. And of course, this integrates perfectly with our wide range of authentication solutions, in particular our newly announced eToken. All of these will be integrated with the processor serial number feature, to provide the most comprehensive user and desktop authentication for various Internet applications, driving forward the implementation of secure e-business.'' Albert Tang, director of New Technologies and Businesses Group at Intel Corporation, commented: ''Intel is pleased to see Aladdin's experience in information security technology being used to take full advantage of processor serial number for the Pentium® III processor platform on Internet and Intranet. Aladdin supports Intel's Reference Implementation technologies to promote Internet security and privacy. We believe that Aladdin's approach represents a sound solution to enhance security solutions on both standalone and network PCs.'' The commercial version of the Internet security authentication framework with Tamper Resistant Agent utilizing processor serial number will be available in Q2 1999.
