VeriSign Working With Microsoft on Roaming Wireless Security
VeriSign is working with Microsoft to promote roaming wireless security for enterprises. The two companies intend to develop a Wi-Fi security reference architecture and solution based on Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) and VeriSign Unified Authentication technologies.
The collaboration will integrate VeriSign Unified Authentication and Microsoft Windows clients to provide the foundation for strong user authentication in an enterprise Wi-Fi network. VeriSign’s Unified Authentication platform will simplify management of user and device credentials for X.509 certificates, smart cards and One Time Password (OTP) tokens in the Window environment by tightly integrating with Active Directory and Microsoft Internet Authentication Servers.
In addition, VeriSign is also supporting Microsoft’s alignment with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) to create an all-inclusive, multi-vendor, end- to-end solution that protects corporate assets.

You just read about Microsoft. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Affirmed Networks built Virtualized and cloud-native mobile core. What became of it?
Affirmed Networks brought Virtualized and cloud-native mobile core to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Microsoft for US$1.35B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Microsoft today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about Wi-Fi. Here is what it replaced:
HomePNA (phoneline) served 1998–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
HomePNA (phoneline) networked PCs over existing in-home telephone wiring by using frequencies above the voice band, avoiding new cabling. Its job passed to Wi-Fi — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
