I saw this advertised right on AO. At the top of the page, there is an ad for it.
I filled out the forms well over a month ago and have not heard a peep from them via e-mail or nor have I recieved the key in the mail...
Has anyone else recieved one? How long did you wait?
Thanx.
I have my key, so does hogfly. I believe Juridian has one also. I also have a developer kit on the way, but haven't gotten that yet. Took about 2 to 3 weeks to get my key, but I think hogflys took like 6 weeks.
I have not received my key yet as I only signed up for it today but I do beleive it is genuine
Has anyone else received their A-Key
yeah thanks that was of a great help
you are welcome
I'm glad to hear that others are still waiting aswell... It has been some time now..., Oh well, it will be a bit before I have access to a Windows box of my own to use it... I don't go home 'till May 17th.., I hope that it comes to me by then, or else it will have to get forwarded to me in PA (I am currently in WI).
I have to admit it has piqued my curiosity...

ive applied, but im from the UK - wonder how long it will take...............
Same here.. I'm still waiting.. but well.. usualy stuff goes from us to the USA and not the other way around ;)
WOW. Cool man. I sent for mine just now. I say we all subscribe to this thread and let each other know when we get ours. Thanx dac0braman!
What is this usb a key? What is it used for?
Oh, and thanks for the info, I figured it was a scam, and didn't bother clicking it. That'll teach me to be so skeptical. :)
I applied for one, just hope I didn't open the flood gates of spam and junk mail.

Very Cool! I just orderd mine, I will reply whenever I get it.
Thanx dac0braman

The A-Key™ is a house-key sized USB token that serves as the platform for the Authenex suite of strong (two-factor) e-security applications. It may be used for certificate storage (optional), but the unique benefit of the A-Key is its on-board CPU and its use of 128 bit .AES (Advance Encryption Standard) to communicate directly with the various e-security applications available through Authenex.
Features and Benefits
Secure Design - The patent-pending chip aboard the A-Key is hacker proof and will fail if removed from the board.
Non-Duplicable - An assigned Electronic Serial Number and a randomly (or administratively) generated 4096-bit shared secret ensure that each key is unique.
Safe and Easy to Use - The user's password is never transmitted over the network or recorded in a central depository. The transition for users is simple - as it is just like using and ATM card at your local bank.
PKI-Ready - The A-Key carries a 15KiloByte (KB) password-activated memory area that can be used for securely storing private keys and certificates.
Product Specification
Operating System(s):
Microsoft® Windows® 98, Me, 2000, and XP
On-Board Security Proccesors:
AES Advanced Encryption Standard
Casing:
Injection molded plastic, tamper evident
Connector:
USB (Universal Serial Bus) TYPE A
Dimensions:
50 x 16 x 7 mm (1.97 x 0.63 x 0.28 in)
Memory Size:
16k
Weight:
4.7g
Hope this will help you if not have a look at this link

I would be pleased to help at any time

:umph:
I just signed up for one as well. Hope they don't mind shipping to Canada :) This would work great on my laptop...
it's proably a plug - in trojan :eek:
j/k
omg - that last sentance was just a joke, so why have ppl given me negative anti points for it !!!!!
will this thing keep working? It says thats its a demo...Idony wanna get it if its only going to work for a few weeks! Thanks
i think the key is fully functional piece of hardware, but they also send you out a cd with info about thier products *i think*
I clicked on their banner ad here on AO and applied for my free key 3 or 4 weeks ago. I haven't gotten so much as a confirmation email yet so its sort of in limbo. Hopefully it will just magically appear on my doorstep one day soon.
a few ppl have been waiting a while for them and others have got theirs so it seems that they do arrive................................someday !!
What more can you expect.........ITS FREE :)
It is not fully functional. It is only a demo.Quote:

I just recieved a call from a rep at the company telling me that I should have my demo key within a week. Its been several weeks since I filled out the form.
The demo key can only be used in conjunction with the online demo, so you can get a feel of what it does. I have requested the white papers so I can read more about it.
Well even though it is a demo it is pretty nice of them to actually let you try out a peice of hardware instead of applications like everything else.

I finally recieved my A-Key... only took 3 months... but, what do you expect for free.
I'm going to mess with it over the weekend. They say its fully functional for 6 months....
Worth a try. Just hopefully I won't loose it....
I think I was wrong in my last post when I said it was not fully functional.
Well... the rep said it was only a demo and not fully functional...
The paper I recieved with it said it IS fully functional... guess only a trial will tell.
Well atleast if it is fully functional it is a plus

I finally received mine yesterday as well after about 3 months of waiting. I guess they went on some sort of spree to ship them out and reduce the backlog or something.
Well if thats how its going to be how they ship them. ive still got 2 more months to go.

It's been more than a month since I filled out the form and I've still not received anything. Only a loss of privacy.
--PuRe
I filled out the forms the first day I saw the ad on the site and I've still yet to recieve anything... Hopefully it'll come soon *crosses his fingers*
Just got mine today. I will play with it tonight. Only took six weeks.
heh, thanks for reminding me about this. I requested one about 3 months ago and I haven't seen it or heard from the company or any "partners" of the company.
I'm not holding my breath, and personally if this is the way they treat people asking for evals of their product then I don't think it bodes too well for their customer service.
stiiiiill waaaaiiithing...
*Twidels thumbs*
*whistles Aimlessly*
lol...then again...I wasn't truly expecting them to send it to me either...

NOOO!!! I messed it :'(. Is there anyway I can still get it :). Idea phishphreek80 send it over my house hehe. Hopefully for once I will get something free, only when I go to the store I get free stuff (e.i: Me:can I try some| Lady: sure|Me: humm Can I try another| Lady: Well I guess so| Me: hummm another| lady: get going and no you can't try another| Me: walks away.......... Comes back and say IT'S A STICK UP!!! GIVE ME THE F**KIN CHEESE! (has finger in shirt)| Lady: Here take them all| Me: Why thankyou, how much is this??| Lady: $2.95| Me: I will take two....... LMAO!!! As you can see I have to much time on my hands lol....;)

Got a couple from a Security Seminar hosted by Windows and .Net magazine. Check and see if they are coming around your area, they have a fully functional demo of the key and their software suite. I like the idea of encrypting laptop hard drives and using the key to unlock it. I would die if someone got mine. They would have access to my network secrets in no time. In addition it authenticates users using an authentication server. Basically it's a digital certificate in a way.
//edit - there road show is no longer running. There are some others on the site though www.winnetmag.com
They're obviously tryng to get rid of them, and don't give a **** about the postage, because I got two delivered last week. Maybe I've got yours.Quote:
i got mine 2 days ago ....
Was i the only one that had to download the demo? or did anyone else get one that came with a cd.

I would have to recieve mine to see if I get a Cd :-( Although a friend here in Calgary got his today, so there is still hope :-)
Everyone gets one without CD ...Quote:
