MIKOH Introduces Smart&Secure Transport for Government Applications

Solution Provides Certainty for Government Asset Physical Security during Transport

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 11, 2008 – MIKOH Corporation (MIK.AX) today unveiled Smart&Secure Transport, a new solution that provides certainty for assets shipped through government transport and supply chain applications.

Many government entities now require RFID tags to track and trace critical assets shipped from location to location. Smart&Secure Transport provides physical security certainty for government RFID requirements by combining MIKOH’s patented Smart&Secure platform with its SecureContainer and SecureEnclosure product lines.

“MIKOH is known throughout the government market for its unique ability to solve RFID physical security issues,” said Andrew Strauch, vice president of marketing and product management for MIKOH Corporation. “With Smart&Secure Transport, government organizations can be certain that critical assets, such as weapons and classified documents, remain uncompromised without physically monitoring the assets every step of the way.”

Smart&Secure Transport targets government markets where critical assets are vulnerable to compromise, including tampering, counterfeiting and fraud. The solution creates a tamper-evident seal that disables RFID functionality if tampering occurs. A functioning RFID tag indicates the asset has not been compromised. A more advanced version alerts an RFID reader that the tag has been compromised without disabling RFID functionality, enabling ongoing retrieval of data stored in the tag.

MIKOH’s SecureContainer is a reusable container featuring a unique closure system. Disposable plastic inserts slide into the container doors to secure all contents with a single Smart&Secure RFID tag. Because the seal only makes contact with the disposable plastic inserts, no cleanup is needed before reuse, making the process fast and easy.

MIKOH’s SecureEnclosure product is based on intellectual property licensed from the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The closure mechanism consists of reusable housings that bolt onto existing transport containers. Disposable plastic inserts slide into the housings to create a seal, which can then be secured by Smart&Secure RFID tags.

“The MIKOH Federal Practice continues to deliver tailored solutions that meet specific requirements for government organizations,” continued Strauch. “For systems integrators, MIKOH and its Smart&Secure Transport solution presents a clear opportunity to differentiate government solutions and services.”
