MORRISTOWN, New Jersey, April 7, 2000 - CardSmart Technologies formally announced today that it has filed for a patent recognizing its proprietary MiPass™ software technologies. MiPass™ Software enables smart cards to increase security and usability for PC users in Internet and LAN based network applications. With MiPass™ Software users can securely manage all of the credentials and identities needed to navigate and transact over the web or corporate networks. A single card can store hundreds of userIDs, passwords, bookmarks, account information, dial-up phone numbers, or purchase preferences.
David Fisher, Executive Vice President of CardSmart and creator of the new product, summarizes it this way, "I have seen people with dozens of little yellow post-it notes stuck all over their desks and computer in a desperate attempt to remember all they need to manage their internet accounts. Obviously, that is not secure and certainly not mobile. Now users can have easy access to their sensitive information from any MiPass™ enabled browser or network client."
Mike McClain, President of the company adds, "MiPass™ Software is just another example of the innovation we bring to card based applications. The basic proposition of CardSmart Technologies is to provide end users with what we call the total solution, which means developing unique, cost effective applications."
