LASS OS Design Development (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
Security services include the Local Authentication Subsystem (LASS). LASS provides the infrastructure that supports application-independent user authentication, consistent authentication regardless of the local authentication plugin (LAP) that is used, and policy-based authentication using authentication events (AEs).
