eTrons
Systems Teams Up with SecuGen Corp. to Become First B2B e-Marketplace
With Biometric Fingerprint Authentication System
Mountain View,
CA, February 1, 2001 -- Security on the Internet is one of
the highest priorities in the e-commerce world. Both buyers and sellers
want to be confident that their transactions are secure, private,
and safe. eTrons Systems, Inc. goes above and beyond the expectations
of buyers and sellers, for they have insured the highest security
measures for its e-marketplace and customers by partnering with SecuGen
Corp. to incorporate biometric security authentication in their suite
of products and services.
"SecuGen's biometric
fingerprint authentication technology has been adopted by financial
institutions in Canada and has proven to be a highly secured device
for authenticating users of automatic banking machines," said
Mr. Nicky Wu, Cofounder and President of eTrons Systems, Inc. "We
strongly believe this product from SecuGen will provide an easy to
use but secured and yet sophisticated identification and authentication
device for registered users of eTrons' online marketplace."
SecuGen Corporation is
a provider of worldwide security solutions based on biometric fingerprint
recognition using the industry's most compact, durable and cost-effective
optical technology. SecuGen technology offers a superior level of
security, without compromising convenience, in both OEM products and
e-business security solutions.
SecuGen has entered into
a strategic partnership with eTrons
Systems to offer
the highest security measures and the most convenient access to eTrons
Systems' customers
when using eTrons
Systems' products
and services. eTrons Systems and SecuGen
are currently collaborating on the integration of SecuGen's biometric
technology with eTrons
Systems' TradeMX
website and services to provide electronic security and verification
plug-ins to eTrons
Systems' marketplace
authentication application. This will be the first time this new technology
has ever been applied in the arena of B2B e-commerce.
"Using biometrics
instead of passwords or PINs for online login verification dramatically
reduces the susceptibility of computers to hacking, password theft,
fraudulent claims of identity and unauthorized access to private information,"
Mr. Wu explained.
SecuGen offers fingerprint
recognition hardware and software to create Internet security and
privacy solutions for e-businesses. SecuGen's revolutionary biometric
EyeD MouseTM will be integrated into eTrons
Systems' TradeMX
and will serve as the primary vehicle for online authentication. Each
mouse will have a fingerprint reading module integrated onto a surface
area of natural finger placement. (See Photo)

"Most importantly,"
he added, "eTrons
Systems shares
SecuGen's dedication to the expansion of each other's market. eTrons
Systems has the
influence, capability and connections necessary to make SecuGen's
technology the premier biometric solution for e-commerce."
"The adoption of
a forefront optical fingerprint recognition technology in a B2B online
marketplace will provide the necessary security to put our users'
mind at ease when doing online business transaction," said Mr.
Wu. "eTrons
Systems will continue
to work with industry partners to enhance both the security, functionality
and productivity of its online marketplace."
