WISekey the sole provider of security software and services for 
Alinghi released today the Digital Security Kit (see picture) which 
is a state-of-the-art digital security system to protect Alinghi's 
operations and sailing technology during the entire event. The Kit 
includes WISekey technologies for securing and hosting the team's 
website, creating and distributing biometric-protected electronic 
tokens to secure Alinghi operational and sailing communications on 
site, and digital signature certificates for the syndicate's 
transactions and facilities. WISeKey also provide secure 
accreditation devices for all Alinghi facilities, including 
electronic identity credentials and USB data storage security tokens.
"We are proud to be named the sole provider of Alinghi's 
electronic security solutions," said Carlos Moreira, WISeKey's 
chairman and CEO. "WISeKey and Alinghi both deeply believe in 
integrity, excellence, and first rate technology. We look forward to 
providing innovative technology solutions that will help Alinghi gain
an edge in this highly competitive tournament."
The deal is a coup for the ten-year-old company, repeating a 
success first achieved in the last America's Cup in 2007.
During the 2010 America's Cup, WISeKey will release its next 
generation of WISeAuthentic products, including the eKey+, a portable
secure ID device to adapt the security services.
"We are delighted to welcome back WISeKey as a sponsor of Alinghi 
for the 33rd America's Cup. As a team we need to share and access 
confidential information, such as design data, and security is 
paramount in our campaign to try and win the America's Cup again. Our
partnership with WISeKey will ensure that we have the optimum 
protection," said Ernesto Bertarelli, Alinghi team president.
The deal with Alinghi comes on the heels of other recent successes
for WISeKey. On September 10 last year, the World Economic Forum, 
named WISeKey a "New Champion" among "global growth companies at the 
forefront of demonstrating how entrepreneurship, innovation, and 
technology can relaunch global growth." Also, last fall, WISeKey 
announced plans to open operations in China and Abu Dhabi.
Alinghi rejoins a cast of WISeKey clients and partners that are 
diverse and top of the line, including Microsoft, luxury watchmaker 
Hublot and IKEA.
