DameWare Development, LLC has partnered with RSA Security, Inc. to use the BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition cryptography module, which has met all Level 1 requirements for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 compliance when operated in "FIPS Mode". When this new "FIPS Mode" option is set, the DameWare Mini Remote Control software will exclusively use the BSAFE Crypto-C ME FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library, which in turn will only allow FIPS-approved algorithms to be utilized. This new "FIPS mode" functionality is included in version 6.7 and above of the DameWare Mini Remote Control software. The FIPS Validation certificate is also available for review on the NIST website: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140crt/140crt608.pdf. Additional documentation is available in the internal help file within the MRC software, and in our online knowledge base.

DameWare Development launches a brand new community forum. A place for exchange of ideas and information with other DameWare users.

After four long hard months of development, DameWare releases version 6.0 with support for Windows Vista. DameWare continues to fortify their position as one of the leading developers of Remote Administration tools, becoming one of the first companies to offer support for Windows Vista.

Earlier this year, DameWare Development was contacted directly by members of the U.S. Military, and asked to provide a Smart Card solution for their new CAC (Common Access Card) environment. A solution that would not only satisfy current security requirements, but would also satisfy future security requirements of existing DOD customers. DameWare Development graciously accepted the challenge and stepped up to the plate, becoming the first third-party remote administration software to provide Interactive Smart Card Login, as well as remote Smart Card Authentication. Users of DameWare's Mini Remote Control software now have the ability to access remote machines via their Smart Card and interactively enter the PIN to login, just as if they physically walked up to the console of the remote machine. DameWare Development's software was then tested by the U.S. Army within their strict environment, and proved to meet all requirements while also exceeding all expectations. At the time of this writing, this new release of DameWare Development's software is the only known remote administration tool that is completely CAC (Common Access Card) compliant as well as AGM (Army Gold Master) 6.0 compliant and compatible. "Bottom line is, this version of the software has worked flawlessly for us even with our strict requirements.?We are not aware of any similar product that meets all these requirements."

Brand new interface for all DameWare products, complete re-write for the Exporter including WMI and the ability to be scripted, Mini Remote now includes DameWare Mirror Driver, Multi-Monitor support, support for Nested Global Groups, and much more.

Beta for new muliti-monitor and mirror driver support for Mini Remote Control released. DameWare Development one of the first Remote Control developers to offer Mirror Driver support.

Little did we know what the next few days would bring when we left the office that Friday afternoon. But even Katrina couldn't keep us down for long. All of us here at DameWare would like to thank all our customers, resellers, and friends for all their encouragement and assistance during this difficult time.
