Treffer: RSA fleshes out identity guards.

This article reports that RSA Security Inc. advanced its plan to make strong encryption ubiquitous and passwords less burdensome with the announcement of a series of product updates. The company will next month release Sign-On Manager 4.5, bringing together two-factor authentication and enterprise single sign-on for Windows desktops. And if users forget or mislay primary authentication methods they may still access PCs by answering a series of administrator-controlled questions, which ensure that security is maintained. RSA also said it would work with firms including Microsoft Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc., to let them provision identity access management systems. Microsoft will integrate RSA capabilities with its own Identity Integration Server while Sun will do likewise through its Java System Identity Manager.
