Office computers running the latest Windows operating systems could get a new degree of protection against snoops and intruders from a partnership announced Tuesday by Microsoft Corp. and RSA Security Inc.
Instead of only making users type in passwords to log on to a computer, users of the RSA ``token'' system also enter a random number that appears on their so-called SecureID, a keychain fob or plastic card they carry with them.
The number changes every minute, generated by an algorithm that also resides on a server inside a company's computing center.
The new agreement, announced at RSA's annual security conference in San Francisco, would protect Windows-based computers with the token scheme, whether they are portable or attached to a corporate network.
Currenty, signing onto Windows requires no more than typing a user name and password.
