STOCKHOLM and PALO ALTO, California, April 7, 2011 - Yubico, provider of the popular authentication token YubiKey, and
ForgeRock, the leading enterprise open source identity and access management
software company, today announced that the YubiKey is now supported in
ForgeRock OpenAM.

Cloud computing brings computer and data resources to the cloud and
offers higher efficiency, massive scalability and faster and easier software
development. Yubico and ForgeRock envision a world of many clouds - public
and private - that are open, secure and interoperable and this partnership is
one step closer to that vision.

ForgeRock is a global ISV with origins in the business and technical
community at Sun Microsystems. The teams base their business exclusively on
open source products.

The YubiKey simplifies the process of logging in with a One-Time Password
(OTP) token as it does not require the user to re-type long pass codes from a
display device into the login field of the computer. The YubiKey is inserted
in the USB port of any computer and the OTP is generated and automatically
entered with a simple touch of a button on the YubiKey, and without the need
of any client software or drivers. The rugged, ultra-thin, battery-free,
crush safe and waterproof design has also been fundamental to the success of
the YubiKey, currently used by over 10,000 customers globally.

"YubiKey's authentication integration paired with ForgeRock OpenAM allows
customers to easily, securely and affordably solve single sign-on challenges
across various web environments," says Lasse Andresen, ForgeRock CEO.
"ForgeRock staff will also have the option to use YubiKeys for our own secure
login."

"We are pleased to see our YubiKey supported in ForgeRock AM and to offer
our customers enterprise class IAM software with the benefits of open
source," says Stina Ehrensvard, Yubico CEO.
