Server. Improvements to the security and the user interface make this safest and
most functional version to date.


Press Release Body = Washington, DC - Thycotic Software, a Microsoft Gold certified
partner, today announces the latest version of its web-based password manager,
Secret Server. Improvements to the security and the user interface make this the
safest and most productive Secret Server to date.

Security is the primary concern for enterprises in need of a password management
utility. Secret Server 2.1 addresses this issue by providing AES 256 bit encryption
along with SHA 512 for hashing. The implementation of the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) 256 bit encryption gives Secret Server the highest available
encryption. This particular encryption algorithm is approved by the National
Security Agency to protect U.S. government classified information.

Secret Server uses hashing and salting to create a \"digital fingerprint\" for user
login passwords. This security tool ensures that a user\'s password is never
revealed. The implementation of SHA 512, salting and AES 256 bit encryption
provides users with the safest web-based password management solution.

"With SHA512 you never need to worry that your password is stolen, even if the
database is compromised," says Kevin Jones, Senior .NET Developer, Thycotic
Software. "In addition to the encryption and hashing, Secret Server is all-around
secure because its auditing tool allows you to view the amount of times someone else
has accessed a password you share."

Secret Server has also become more user friendly in the 2.1 release. When creating
a \"Secret Type,\" users now have explanations of each field. For example, if you
were filling out the \"Transit Routing Number\" field for a bank account secret, the
description tells you that a transit routing number is what the depository bank uses
to route the check back to the drawee bank.

Traditionally, Secret Server has been an application available only on computers.
This release introduces Secret Server to many handheld mobile devices. Secret
Server is now compatible with Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Palm and many different
types of cell phones. Users can literally access their secrets from anywhere.
