Press Release Summary: Amsterdam, 30 May 2008, ID Control BV, the specialist in
advanced online identity and access management today announced her new longer
lasting hardware One Time Password generating Token to fight online identity theft
and fraud.


Press Release Body:

Heemskerk, The Netherlands, June 03, 2008 (Press Release Point) -- With the ID
Control OTP Key, a new one-time password (OTP) is issued every time a user remotely
and securely wants to log into the protected remote access of networks, applications
and digital resources. The user generates an OTP by pressing a button on the small
and low-cost device. A new dynamic password is then calculated and displayed on the
screen. What makes the ID Control OTP Key unique is the replaceable and renewable
battery option.

At this moment millions of hardware authentication tokens yearly retire due too
empty batteries or expiration in the trash bin of many organizations causing
pollution and even a high re-investment. The administrator gets the burden by having
to re-issue and re-distribute new hardware tokens while purchase and
non-productivity costs rise tremendously. Durability was key to development of this
new OTP token, with smarter power conservation, longer battery life expectancy, and
no self-expiration, the ID Control OTP Key generates OTPs in a sustainable and
affordable way.

Hans Kortekaas, CEO of ID Control, indicates when using hardware for strong
authentication more organizations should consider the impact on the environment.
Hardware OTP Keys are ideal for strong authentication to web based applications and
networks and with a replaceable battery the costs for distribution, support and
purchase become much lower while causing less impact on the environment.
The ID Control OTP Key is an affordable and user-friendly strong authentication
technique that is available for access to online applications, networks, VPN, server
based computing and other services.

ID Control B.V., http://www.idcontrol.com, based in The Netherlands, always takes
the impact on the environment into account in her cutting edge strong authentication
offerings, such as HandyID, MessageID and KeystrokeID. HandyID is a Mobile (OTP)
authentication solution which runs as an application, generating an OTP, on your
mobile phone. MessageID is an One Time Password automatically sent by SMS to your
mobile phone for secure remote access. KeystrokeID covers the field of biometrics
authentication based on the recognition of the user\'s typing behaviour while not
needing any authentication device. Organizations that use different authentication
methods and tokens for different users, accounts, systems, applications and/or
services can centrally and integrally manage all kinds with the ID Control Server.
