Rohos Face Logon. Product launch announcement

The fast pace of Internet evolution triggers more convenient means of communication thus provokes an ever-growing demand for data and system access security. We are glad to announce that March 01, 2009 Tesline-Service together with DeterecO company plan to launch new product – Rohos Face Logon.


The planed features (shortly):

  1. Access to the system would be granted by means of face recognition
  2. Usual system access may be prohibited
  3. Emergency logon

– some Rohos Logon Key features wouldn’t be presented

Rohos Face Logon supports Windows XP/ Vista and all webcams compatible with Windows.

Windows Seven experimental support.

Recently we tried to install the latest build of Windows Seven (Windows 7 betta 1 7000) to verify Rohos Logon Key compatibility. The first test was ok – Rohos Logon Key works.
Looks like Microsoft developers did not change anything in the logon and credential providers API and thus we can relax instead of digging into Windows 7 cookbook’s 🙂
Today we uploaded the fresh release of Rohos Logon Key with Win7 support and other corrections.

New Rohos Logon Key for Mac OS X

Rohos Disk Encryption for Mac OS X

Rohos disk under mac os xRecently we have come across wonderful application Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac OS X. It allows to use Windows applications under Mac seamlessly.  We tested Rohos Disk and Rohos Mini Drive under Parallels (+winxp) and figured out that we don’t need to port Rohos Disk under Mac OS X :).

It works greatly under Parallels virtual PC!

Notes about PIN code:
For those who are not familiar with two-factor authentication: By setting up PIN code you protect USB Key from somebody who can use it for logon into your Mac without your permission. After you plug in USB Key – Rohos Logon will always ask user to enter PIN in order to log in or unlock your Mac. To set up PIN, just click Change PIN button, after you set up your USB Key.

  • PIN code works only for USB flash drives
  • To change it – click Change PIN – and enter new PIN and Confirmation – OK
  • If you forget PIN code – use second USB Key (created before) or Safe Boot to disable Rohos Logon

To Upgrade:

It’s better to Quit current Rohos Logon , install new version over, and then open Rohos Logon and set up USB Key again.

Notes About Uninstalling / OFFing Rohos Logon:

  • To OFF or Quit Rohos Logon USB key should be connected
