Analysts: Microsoft's Latest Move into Identity Management Could Signal Smart-Card Renaissance | |
|

Analysts said Microsoft Corp.'s Monday acquisition of a public-key identity management developer may herald an upsurge in the use of smart cards by enterprises and Microsoft's position in the still-growing security management industry. Alacris, a small, privately held, Ottawa-based company founded in 1998, makes a security management software product called IDNexus that uses PKI (public key infrastructure) and biometrics in smart-card deployments for large commercial and government organizations that employ Windows-based systems. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. PKI uses public and private cryptographic keys and digital certificates to securely encrypt messages and data over public networks. | ||
