Now the popular token ruToken can be used in Rohos Logon Key and Rohos Disk programs as a single Key for Windows (including Vista x86/x64) authentication, and for data protection on Rohos Disk. To read more in ruToken Project News…
Rohos Logon Key 2.5 new release (May 14, 2008) includes support for Windows Server 2003 x64 (IA64, AMD64). The update affects support for the logon model “Windows native authentication (msgina.dll)”.
Now Rohos Logon Key can be used for secure access to workstations Windows XP x64 within Active Directory network, and for access to remote desktop Windows 2003 x64.
Windows native authentication (msgina.dll)
This logon model is considered to be the best in the following cases:
In this case Rohos Logon doesn’t replace module GINA.dll, but integrates in it, thus the security policy remains unaltered. As the result, network workstation and Windows 2003 Server work stays stable and trustful as before Rohos Logon being installed. Rohos Logon program supports integration with msgina.dll, nwgina.dll and ctxgina.dll.
Tesline-Service announces that now Rohos Disk and Rohos mini are available both for 32-bytes (x86), and for 64-bytes (x64 – AMD64, IA64) versions.
Disk driver is updated for Windows XP and Vista, thus has been worked out the issue of Rohos Disk functionality in 64-bytes versions of these operational systems.
Note: Rohos Disk current version, v1.19, is not compatible with old drivers. The program should be updated everywhere you use Rohos Disk.
New Rohos Logon Key release (April 2008) now supports BlueSoleil. BlueSoleil (former Widcomm) drivers are supplied for many Bluetooth adapters and devices around the world.
What’s new in Rohos Bluetooth Logon:
Notice: Now we are in the process of signing Agreement with Toshiba Company regarding use of Toshiba Bluetooth Device SDK. Thus Rohos Logon will support Bluetooth adapters built in Toshiba portable.
Now the popular USB token uaToken can be used in Rohos Logon Key and Rohos Disk programs as a key for Windows logon (including Vista x86/x64) and data protection on Rohos Disk.
Please, remember that uaToken is the first USB token (smart card) certified in Ukraine. The main distinction of uaToken from foreign analogues is hard-wired encryption standard – GOST-28147-89. Producer “Tehnotrade” also offers USB token uaTokenRF that is equipped with RFID token.
Rohos Logon Key 2.5 has been released with some BlueTooth Logon updates.

For those who are still interested in Desktop Locker only, we have discovered a new wireless PC lock – BlueGuardian.
Chisinau, March 26, 2008 – Tesline-Service SRL, is a small software company specializing in PC security solutions today announced that it released Rohos Logon Key 2.5., two-factor authentication solution, which “Works with†Windows Vista.
The solution provides ease-of use for interoperability, remote access and it has several key benefits:
· Fully supports Windows Vista
· Supports corporate USB tokens such as Aladdin eToken
· Server Version with USB key Remote Setup
At present time we are working out Rohos Logon Key for MAC OS-X. At first the program will support USB flash drive. It is a great benefit for those who would like to use it for their home computer. The presented analogues of computer security solutions that already exist (e-Tokens, etc) are more convenient for company usage rather than for usual user.
The first beta version will be due by the end of this summer.
Rohos Logon Key has already proved its functionality in Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista.

The next beta version of Rohos Logon Key includes a feature BlueTooth Wireless Logon that means you can log into Windows computer by using Bluetooth enabled Pocket PC or mobile.
Why mobile? Firstly, we were asked by the users “Is it possible to log in by mobile phone?” The next reason is that Wireless PC lock solutions already exist on the market – the idea is that you have a small “e-tablet” dongle in your hands and a receiver connected to USB port. It works like a car key.
The same could be by using your mobile – just come in and Windows gets logged on – just step out – and it gets locked/hibernated. So, the idea looks interesting but will see how it works in reality:
Download Rohos Logon Key 2.5 beta
At the first tests the program works well.
How to set up mobile login:
In the Options dialog box select “BlueTooth phone/pocket PC” device type and ‘Auto-Lock’ function:
Then click OK and open Configure USB Key dialog. Please don’t worry, there are a lot of “USB flash drive” strings in the program 🙂
Configure USB Key dialog will detect your mobile, and you can type your pass and press OK. You can try to log in by the phone.

Hi All,
We’ve been working on some important feature: To add USB tokens support to Rohos Logon Key.
We plan to support PKCS11 communication standard to work with USB tokens. The PKCS11 is supported by all industry leading USB tokens such as Aladdin eToken PRO/r2, SafeNet’s iKey, ASEKey Crypto USB Token, ACS USB Tokens and so on.
In General Rohos Logon will be able to support any kind of USB key device, thanks to the special API (plugin model) that is being introduced now. The external key.dll module can handle any type of devices. For example Bluetooth phone/pocket PC for Wireless logon, read about it in the next posts…
In the development room we have now eToken PRO 32kb, eToken R2 16kb and ruToken USB tokens. All tokens already work with Rohos. If you are interested to get a next release preview of Rohos Logon Key please hold on for a while. SOON we will post download links.
Also please keep all your suggestions and feature requests coming. There’s nothing we like better than hearing your ideas and then putting them into action.
Thank you.
