| Giesecke & Devrient's Solutions Become Vista-Certified International technology group Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) has become one of the first companies meeting the quality criteria of Microsoft's Ireland-based Smart Card Certification Center for Windows Vista with its StarSign IT security solution products. Using smart cards from the StarSign family of products, PC users can securely authenticate themselves on networks and for IT applications. The compliance with Microsoft's certification requirements confirms that StarSign lives up to the quality standards set by Microsoft. Microsoft's Smart Card Certification Center has been working closely with early adopters of the Windows Smart Card Framework to develop a certification program that balances the needs of both Microsoft and IHVs. The result of this close cooperation will be a fully fledged certification program that will award "Designed for Windows" logos for card minidrivers and smart cards that meet the Windows Vista logo program requirements for smart card minidrivers. Microsoft's Smart Card Certification Center is located in the Ireland based European Development Center. StarSign products can be used in solutions calling for secure authentication, data encryption, and digital signatures, as well as single sign-on and hard disk encryption. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
