In addition to showing off its next-generation Longhorn operating system this week, Microsoft Corp. for the first time handed out code that underlies its closely watched Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB) security technology.
The company also further narrowed its focus for NGSCB, previously known by its Palladium code name, saying it is focused on putting the first version of the hardware-based security technology to work for specific business applications only, not consumer software.
Attendees at Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles received a developer preview of NGSCB. Developers can use this preview to get a feel of what it is like to develop an application that uses NGSCB security.
