InfoCard To Increase Online Security

Microsoft is setting up a plan to increase the online security and is looking forward to a secure and safer online environment. Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates showed off a tool that could replace the need to manually enter usernames and passwords to unlock the doors of the Internet. Bill Gates said that this would increase its security of online transactions.

At this briefing Gates also broadly discussed Microsoft's efforts to improve security in its upcoming Windows Vista operating system and the tech industry's initiatives aimed at stopping malicious software, hackers and other dangers.

"We've all got a common challenge here, yet an amazing opportunity to let these digital systems be used in the broadest way," Gates said at the RSA computer security conference.

And this meeting Gates highlighted a technology dubbed InfoCard that will help computer users corral their identifying information without running the risk of losing it or having it stolen. Companies also may use this InfoCard as a way of granting access to their networks.........
