Arlington, VA, USA – May 25, 2005 – SCB Solutions, a software leader in smart card and biometric technology, today announced that Technology & Business Magazine awarded a 4 star rating to SCB Access, a cutting-edge Single Sign-On (SSO) application.

SCB Access™ is an affordable solution for Secure Logon and Single Sign-On applications. A user can access a PC or an application by inserting a smart card and a PIN code. With SCB Access™, user names and passwords are securely encrypted and stored on a smart card. User names and passwords are then submitted automatically to the appropriate applications. Users need to remember only one password to unlock their smart card. All the others can be forgotten; no more need for unsafe stickies to remember their passwords.

“System was very neat,” wrote Matt Tett of Technology & Business Magazine, “installation and configuration was a breeze.”

"It is an honor to be recognized by Technology & Business Magazine," said Ronan Lapie, president of SCB Solutions. "The magazine's recognition of SCB Access reconfirms SCB Solutions’ approach to not only enhancing security, but providing products that turn strong identification and authentication into a positive experience for the end-user. We are excited by the tremendous attention SCB Access has received throughout the industry."
