About the White Paper:
As more and more businesses make e-commerce initiatives, the Internet is fast becoming a vault of critical business data. Smart cards, retinal scans and an array of digital-age technologies are all set to replace the currently prevalent password authentication systems. How flexible are operating systems in allowing use of these technologies? It is not enough for an operating system to support a smart card or a retinal scan. It must be able to accommodate newer devices as they come, without any modifications to its architecture.
Therefore, it becomes essential for an operating system to provide both effective and extendable security to its resources. Two of the forerunners in this area are Microsoft Windows NT and Microsoft Windows 2000. What features of Windows NT/2000 make it possible to have a flexible and extendable security? What should be done to make a Windows NT/2000 system use a different access mechanism in place of the default password authentication method? This paper addresses these questions. |
