Palo Alto, California 11. 10. 2002 (PROTEXT/ots) - Sensiva,Inc. today announced the availability of its Xpass securitysoftware, which allows Internet users to access secure websiteswithout the need to type and remember passwords. With Xpass,users access Internet services such as online trading, banking,shopping, email, private portals, etc. with a single mouseclick. Because Xpass encrypts and stores the users' passwords ontheir computer, they can control and manage their own sensitiveinformation individually and keep their privacy.

"Xpass is a robust software application that solves the ever-increasing problem of remembering multiple passwords whenaccessing secure web sites and services," said David Dupouy, CEOof Sensiva, Inc. "Not only does Xpass solve a major problem bytyping each password every time for the user, but as opposed toother single sign-on solutions, it keeps passwords safely on theuser's computer, rather than on some vulnerable public server.The solution is both more secure and totally private".

Xpass features the powerful DES encryption industry standardto ensure a high level of protection for passwords. "No systemis unbreakable, but Xpass makes the hacker's life much moredifficult than a server-based solution, and the security mainlydepends on the user's choice of their Master Password." DavidDupouy also said.

Since users don't need to remember each password for everyonline account, they can choose more complex and varied ones --thus increasing security. Users need to remember only oneprivate "Master Password" that is used as the key to encryptdata.

As a universal solution, Xpass can log the user on themajority of the world's websites. Current server-based singlesign-on solutions, on the other hand, need to be specificallyadapted to each website and consequently work with only a few ofthem, dramatically reducing the very value and benefit of thesolution.

For the end user, Xpass is about simplicity, security, andprivacy. "The best way to keep your privacy is to keep yourinformation with you at all times." said David Dupouy."Passwords are the keys to access your online assets, and Xpassis the universal pass to access them a way that is easy to use,secure, and private."

Xpass is now available at www.sensiva.com at a price of US$69.95. The software runs on Microsoft(R) Windows(R).
