ControlKey Regulates Children’s PC, Internet Use

Tags:

December 2003 — Griffin Technologies recently announced the debut of ControlKey, a new and practical way for parents to control their children’s PC and Internet use at home. Featuring a small, convenient key-like device that plugs into the PC’s USB port, ControlKey protects children from unsupervised online activity and ensures that parents are able to effectively govern PC and Internet use.

“For some time now, Griffin Technologies’ SecuriKey authentication product has proven itself effective at controlling access to business and home office computers. ControlKey is a natural extension of this same technology,” said Bennett Griffin, president and founder of Griffin Technologies. “ControlKey addresses the concerns of parents who are worried about the amount of time kids spend online and/or on the PC itself. Finally, there is an intuitive way for parents to control their kids online time.”

ControlKey combines an attractive, key-like token with sophisticated software technology to ensure professional-strength protection against unwanted PC use in a way that is easy for any parent to understand and use. A variety of access options are available for the product, including two-factor (token and password) protection; the technology also enables partial access so that children can use the PC locally, for example, but not be able to access Internet functions such as email, web browsers, or chat rooms without the parent’s ControlKey token.

“ControlKey allows parents to easily and effectively manage the way their children use the computer and the Internet,” said Griffin. “Now, parents can rest easy knowing when their children are online. What’s more, ControlKey is simple to use—as convenient as putting a key into a lock.”

Convenient, Flexible
ControlKey’s attractive USB token is small enough to attach to any key ring and easily plugs into a computer’s USB (Universal Serial Bus) port or hub (USB 2.0 also supported).

The Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price for ControlKey is $59.99. For more information, including availability and purchasing information, call Griffin Technologies at 1-800-986-6578 or visit www.control-key.com.
