Microsoft and computer security vendor RSA Security said on Tuesday that they would jointly release a new authentication technology using RSA's SecurID tokens to provide better password protection into Windows operating systems.

RSA Security, known for its SecurID products that authenticate users logging into networks, said that the new offering would make it easier for businesses to protect their networks by providing tighter security at the point at which users enter their computer desktop.
