Securworkplace™ Secure Sign-On ensures users a login that cannot be guessed, phished or stolen

San Francisco, CA (April 20, 2009) - Ohanae today announced the immediate availability of its flagship Secure Sign-On solution, Securworkplace for Windows Phone and Securworkplace for Windows PC.

“Consumers are unwilling to sacrifice convenience for security, despite widespread online fraud. Web site owners seeking to improve authentication are grappling with how to accomplish this task while not turning away customers; as a result, new solutions must be found to balance security and ease of use. The challenge is figuring out how to close the gap. What happens if this is a problem going forward and people continue to have bad experiences? “, said Greg Hauw, president and CEO of Ohanae.

Thieves Winning Online War
Internet security is broken, the bad guys are improving more quickly than the good guys, and nobody seems to know quite how to fix it. Despite the efforts of the computer security industry and a half-decade struggle by Microsoft to protect its Windows operating system, malicious software is spreading faster than ever.

With the explosion of Web 2.0 technology, the number of individual websites requiring registration has dramatically increased, and it is becoming apparent that the current authentication situation is unsustainable. To deal with dozens of individual logins and passwords required by different sites, users are forced to write down their logins or reuse the same password for every website. This is undesirable as it creates multiple points of attacks and a single hacked site has the potential to completely compromise a user’s digital identity on the Internet today.

The Password Reinvented
Securworkplace delivers a higher level of authentication assurance based on the traditional username and password. Utilizing patent pending technology, Securworkplace provides online users a login that cannot be guessed, phished or stolen.

Other features:

- Users only need to remember one PIN or passphrase, log in to any websites or popular client-side applications using strong passwords generated uniquely for each account.

- Intercepts and neutralizes key logging and phishing attacks.

- Leaves no traces on endpoint using DoD sanitization algorithm upon exit.

- Files saved in designated volume are encrypted using strong encryption—then hidden to prevent unauthorized access.

Ohanae research concludes that for many purposes the ideal software model is a hybrid (software + services). Securworkplace is a heavy duty client-side application combined with ongoing cloud-based services — auto updates, web reputation (antiphishing protection), revocation + remote wipe, backup and restore.

User connects the Windows Phone to any Windows PC (XP | Vista) via the USB port; no installation, no need to modify the host PC. Securworkplace is extremely easy to use. Creating site-specific strong passwords only requires the user to type *+, while the password is dynamically rediscovered by typing **. PIN, passphrase, and passwords are never stored on the devices and the system is always brute force attack proof.

New Status Symbol
Smartphones are the new status symbols. The phone is no longer just a fashion statement but now a digital bag of tricks. Mobile applications have become a form of social currency. Smartphone owners show them off to friends or try to outdo one another with their discoveries. Vendors are selling not just the phone itself, but the applications that come with it. Whatever phone offers the best application wins! The future of the Smartphone demands lots more vendors, lots more competition, and carries with it lots more fragmentation.

“Ohanae believes that a Windows Phone with ‘Maximum Security Online Anywhere, Anytime’ functionality could be the key differentiator for Windows Phone users due to its increase in user online confidence and protection of sensitive data from the multiple threats implied by security breaches.”, said Greg Hauw.
