End-to-End Security

   

Security in Windows Server 2003 is built on top of a single security model anchored by Active Directory. Security enhancements and innovations new to Windows Server 2003 help reduce the attack surface and make Windows authentication and authorization more secure and powerful via a new application security architecture. Protocol transition capability enables any authentication on the front-end Web server to be transitioned to Kerberos at the back end.

Native integration of Microsoft .NET Passport enables authentication and authorization for any customer or consumer and sets the stage for future federation capabilities. When the front-end server trusts the .NET Passport, the .NET Passport is used for user validation and subsequent logon. The .NET Passport credentials can be mapped to Active Directory for consumers and customers.
