Core Technology: SECUREMATRIX is a unique matrix authentication system developed by CSE (Computer Systems Engineering Co., Ltd.); CSE Secure Systems, Inc. will market the SECUREMATRIX solution in North America.
The SECUREMATRIX authentication solution requires no physical devices such as tokens or IC cards. Instead, each time a user logs in it displays a different set of 64 randomly selected numbers arranged as a matrix table. When first entered into the system, each user chooses an easily remembered pattern and input order with which to select numbers from the table. Application of this pattern and order produces a unique, one time password at each login. Compared to a fixed password solution, which is easily guessed or stolen, our one time password solution dramatically improves security. A steadily increasing number of clients has adopted SECUREMATRIX, with use centering mainly around strengthening authentication during remote access application. As of the end of December 2008, approximately 600 companies with more than 500,000 users had adopted SECUREMATRIX. Many organizations also use SECUREMATRIX as a solution for strengthening authentication measures in a thin client environment; more and more organizations are adopting thin client systems to cope with pandemic situations or to prevent information leakage as an extension of internal control for risk and business continuity management. In addition, SECUREMATRIX is Windows log-in ready and strengthens authentication during the process. Our clients are very satisfied with SECUREMATRIX and regard it as a uniform authentication infrastructure that reduces administrative effort and operational costs dramatically.

All of this will yield batteries that last longer and hold more charge while reducing the risk of thermal runaway.
For fuel cells, the benefits are equally appealing. In addition to the thermal transport and subsequent temperature control our design will facilitate efficient fluid flow and it will reduce the required platinum loading by 50%. This will dramatically increase their efficiency while reducing the cost, making them competitive alternatives to fossil fuel engines.
