The deal is a coup for the ten-year-old company, repeating a success first achieved in the last America's Cup in 2007.

During the 2010 America's Cup, WISeKey will release its next generation of WISeAuthentic products, including the eKey+, a portablesecure ID device to adapt the security services.

The deal with Alinghi comes on the heels of other recent successes for WISeKey. On September 10 last year, the World Economic Forum, named WISeKey a "New Champion" among "global growth companies at the forefront of demonstrating how entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology can relaunch global growth." Also, last fall, WISeKey announced plans to open operations in China and Abu Dhabi.

Alinghi rejoins a cast of WISeKey clients and partners that are diverse and top of the line, including Microsoft, luxury watchmaker Hublot and Ikea. (WISekey: ra)
