Microsoft’s New Technology

[BINNY]

Hi,

Microsoft's forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 browser will support the
Infocard authentication, Mcft chairman Bill Gates has unveiled. The
security platform is set to replace usernames and passwords, IT Week
reports.




Infocard is Mcft's next generation online authentication system.
The technology aims to improve online security while reducing
complexity for the user.




Practically the system provides the user with several digital
identity cards that will unlock access to the service in a way similar
to a smart card unlocking a door. Each card holds only the required
information, much like a keycard will only instruct the door to open
without telling who is trying to enter. When visiting a website, the
system will automatically find the appropriate Infocard for that
service, preventing the disclosure of unnecessary information.




The Infocard system replaces the need for users to sign with a
username and password, and in the process eliminates the need for
password resets and reduces the risk of unauthorized entries.





Internet Explorer 7 is currently in beta and is slated for release by this summer.
