CRYPTOCard has added U.S.-based reseller Worldwide Interactive Services Inc. to its partner program, giving the Ottawa digital security products maker access to more than 400 customers in the United States and the Caribbean.

"Organizations, not only large enterprises, need military-grade password security to protect valuable information and assets," said CRYPTOCard CEO Neil Hollister in a statement. "Our technology and services are well-suited for companies like Worldwide Interactive Services, who have the experience working within a number of market sectors, combined with the regulatory knowledge required to ensure that customers are meeting strictest standards."

Florida-based Worldwide provides hosted voice and Internet information delivery solutions for small to medium-sized banks and credit unions, allowing customers' account holders to access account information and perform transactions via Internet, telephone and mobile browser. The company also serves telecommunications, retail and government customers with services such as Internet payment processing and online inventory management.

The partnership will see CRYPTOCard's keychain token – which generates one-time-use passwords and positively identifies users – securing Worldwide's Online Service Center and Reports client interface.

CRYPTOCard's technology eliminates 'static' computer passwords that can be stolen by methods such as shoulder surfing.
