CrypKey Provides E-Commerce Software Security Solution

Casper 2.0 Helps Business Achieve Peace of Mind

(Sept. 8, 2003) -- Casper, an e-commerce security solution developed by CrypKey (Canada) Inc. for software developers and corporations that seek to keep their software secure, now features 24/7 e-commerce capability offering maximum convenience and security benefits.

"The key benefit to Casper 2.0 is it enables fully automated software licensing and copy protection seven days a week, so customers don't have to worry about illegal use of their products when their offices are closed or if they are on vacation," notes CrypKey CEO Jim McCartney.

"This is the latest, most exciting product we have developed to date, " adds McCartney. "It not only permits automatic processing and authorization of customer payment information; it offers a secure e-commerce package that allows CrypKey users to automatically process and authorize customer payment so they can achieve maximum security every day of the week."

Casper, the acronym for CrypKey Automated Software Purchasing & Electronic Registration, essentially automates the authorization of CrypKey-protected products. Casper 2.0 is supported on Windows Server 2003 and uses SQL Desktop (MSDE).

Designed to offer e-commerce features for users of CrypKey™ Software Developer Kit (SDK) and CrypKey™ Instant, Casper allows users to automatically process and authorize customer payment information by verifying serial numbers or credit card purchases before authorizing usage of a CrypKey-protected product.

The standard Casper eRegister product, which retails at $1,995 USD, offers automatic authorization and product verification using serial numbers while Casper eCommerce at $2995.00 USD, offers automatic authorization and purchase via credit card transaction. Installation and set-up are included with Casper eCommerce.

CrypKey (Canada) Inc. was the first company to offer a software encryption model as an alternative to the more common hardware-based protection and developed the world's first "Clone Buster" embedded program offering stealth features.

CrypKey (Canada) Inc. is the world leader in software copy protection and software authorization tools including "Clone Buster" technology, easy licensing, dynamic multi-key encryption and enhanced anti-hacking features for the vertical software market.
