Client AuthenticationWe'll help you stop digital pick-pockets.
Just as you might use your driver's license to validate who you are, a digital personal certificate lets you securely identify yourself to others on the Internet. Microsoft Internet Explorer supports client authentication, so you can simply use your personal certificate to access specific services or Web sites on the Internet. Internet Explorer wallet technology lets you store and manage these certificates, much like a real wallet stores your identification cards.
