The Microsoft Technology Centers will use smart cards, PC-link readers, and software from Gemplus's SafesITe solution. Gemplus's US Corporate Security Systems Study, which was carried out by Frost & Sullivan, showed that 30% of Fortune 500 companies surveyed are currently using or testing smart cards within their security systems and more than one-third of the companies surveyed plan to use smart cards within their corporate security systems within the next three years. Smart cards are experiencing increased adoption with many companies around the world that are looking to enhance the security and flexibility of their employee badge programs. We are pleased to demonstrate solutions using these technologies and value Gemplus's support in providing the smart card hardware and software components to make this possible," said Brian Groth, Group Program Manager, Microsoft. "We see a growing need among our large enterprise customers to learn more about smart cards and security technologies that support single sign-on and two-factor authentication within Windows-based environments. Corporate enterprise visitors will be able to see Gemplus smart cards used during demonstrations to securely log-on to PCs, digitally sign e-mails, and perform remote log-ons using a virtual private network.

Microsoft will use Gemplus technology to demonstrate to clients the integration and implementation of smart cards in a Windows-based environment for network security.
