Microsoft will take first its steps towards delivering a federated version of Passport this year, releasing tools enabling developers to build Kerberos protocols into the online security system ahead of a full product release in 2003, Gavin Clarke writes.
The company told Computerwire it planned a series of Software Development Kits (SDKs) to implement the network authentication protocol into Passport later this year. A full version of Passport, built on Kerberos, is expected next year.
