SecureIDNews | Microsoft extends smart card-based authentication

Friday, June 24, 2011

Microsoft has extended is smart card-based user authentication to work with Outlook Anywhere.

This smart card authentication is fully supported for Outlook 2007 SP2 with Exchange 2010 SP1. Users who have Outlook 2010 cannot enable this authentication on their client access servers unless all connections can use smart card authentication.

The authentication runs through a script that is part of the Exchange distribution. Once it’s set up with Outlook Anywhere, it provides a secondary level of authentication.

ValidSoft, a supplier of telecommunications-based fraud prevention, authentication and transaction verification products, announced its new partnership with Spindle Inc., a mobile commerce and alternative payment solutions provider to bring payments security products to U.S.-based customers.
