Microsoft boosts security for Outlook.com

JMH · Dec 10, 2012

Outlook.com, the new webmail service that Microsoft is previewing and that will replace Hotmail, has gained security boosts against phishing and spam.

The new safety features come via support for the DMARC email authentication standard and for EV Certificates, which are designed to strengthen SSL certificates, Microsoft said on Monday.

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is a technical specification intended to standardize how email recipient systems authenticate incoming messages using the SPF and DKIM technologies.
