Beacon Software Partners with GlobalCrypto to Provide Added Protection For its Online Banking Customers Using RealMe  Multi-factor Authentication Software

ATLANTA (November, 2008)— GlobalCrypto, the leader in low-cost strong authentication and the only company to make transacting online safer by embedding unique cryptographic information in a digital image and exchanging pieces of that image between a user and a web application, today announced Beacon Software as a customer.

Beacon Software will begin using GlobalCrypto’s RealMe multi-factor authentication software to offer a stronger more secure authentication solution to its online banking customers.

GlobalCrypto’s RealMe suite of products is the only software on the market to embed cryptographic information in a digital image of the users’ choice, and exchange pieces of that image between a user and Web application for PKI-strength, bi-directional authentication. All encrypted information between a Web application and an end user must “match” before a transaction can proceed. RealMe software requires no tokens, SSL certificates, hardware and little or no end-user software, making it significantly easier to install, maintain and use than other solutions.

“We’re looking forward to working with the team at GlobalCrypto and using their RealMe authentication software, in conjunction with our Compass Internet Banking Platform, to provide our customers best in class authentication security,” stated Jack Fullen, President and Chief Executive Officer, Beacon Software.

“Online banking is an important segment for GlobalCrypto and we are delighted to be working with a company like Beacon Software,” said Todd Merrill, GlobalCrypto Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to supporting Beacon Software as they rollout our RealMe solution to their customers across the country,” added Merrill.

GlobalCrypto won the gold medal in the ATDC’s 2007 CapVenture contest and was recently named by the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) as one of the 16 most innovative companies in the state.
