Today's corporations are addressing the problems concerning the loss/theft of portable storage devices. Hence Ritech International is proud to launch a new solution called the "Signature Lite".

HAAKSBERGEN, NETHERLANDS, February 02, 2009 - Signature Lite is managed by satisfying the need of securely accessing or transporting confidential and critical data.

Signature Lite key features:
1) Dual Fingerprint Authentication
2) Hardware Crypto-Engine AES-128bit
3) Embedded Read/Write Protection (optional)
4) Additional Security Software - Drivelock and RiTech Logon Key

Dual fingerprint authentication function is so unique that it increases the difficulty for hackers and prevents access from the outside into the secured non-volatile internal memory storage. It also steps up security a notch as a second fingerprint is required to be verified.

The crypto engine encrypts and decrypts data on the fly during data transfer between computer and Signature Lite. It is transparent to users. With this, it creates a much secure way to protect confidential information and allows portable USB storage device to be used as a convenient way to safely carry client information from one end to the other end.

Additional key features:
1) No Backdoor
No administrator PIN or password is allowed to reset or bypass the fingerprint verification or use to maliciously gain entry to data. No hardware reset function by tampering is allowed to gain entry to data. Even manufacturer do not have the hardware or software tools to bypass the fingerprint verification to gain access to data.

2) Zero Footprints
No assistance from any software or driver is needed. No traces of any background program left in the computer memory as no computer memory is used to run the device. Unlike pop-up applications or auto run programs which could leave LOG files or data files which could be clues for hackers to perform successful breach of entry.

3) Entry Guard
Device is limited to three authentication attempts. Device will stop functioning if false fingerprint detected.

4) Truly Driverless
No software or application or pre-installer required to be used to recognize the device. All processes are achieved on Hardware.
5) Cross Platform Compatibility
No driver assistance to support platforms, i.e. auto-detect on Windows/Mac OS/Linux that supports USB. Support operating system such as all Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

Unlike traditional software-based encryption where keys must be managed carefully, Signature Lite can solve this problem.

If the requirement is to encrypt USB devices, the easiest way is to buy a USB device that can already encrypt.

Signature Lite is developed for Securing identities of administrators and users with Fingerprint Authentication to enhance the effectiveness in controlling, monitoring and securing data at end-point.

1) Signature Lite is a hardware-based solution that adds a new level of security for document control and user monitoring within a centralised controlled environment.

2) Administrators can monitor workgroups accessing shared workspace (disk space within drive), at the same time allowing workgroup to work independently within a controlled environment.

Signature Lite uses hardware to achieve a controlled enterprise workgroup, hence maintaining its hardware-independency advantage and the same time able to achieve multi-platform compatibility. This sets a new meaning in being truly secure and self-contained.

In short, to ensure data security in today's dynamic environment overall perimeter security must be controlled and managed in a consistent manner across at all mobile platforms, across all users, and across all locations.
