Windows Authentication over the Internet

Hi,

I'm developing a web service for deployment over the Internet and I am now
looking at securing it. It only needs to be accessed from one client (in the
short term) and is never intended for widespread usage. As a starting point
I'm looking at Windows Authentication.

I've read that Windows Authentication over the internet is impossible as
it's dependent on a Windows OS being used throughout. Is this true or is it
just recomended practice to avoid limiting potential client base?

Both the server and the only client will definitely be running versions of
windows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated (just a yes/no answer would be a big
help too).

with certificates would be beter.

Thanks,

We're testing for transmission times at the moment so we don't need it that
secure. I'm thinking certificates if all goes well in the early tests.

The rest of my application is using authentication that is database driven and wouldn't want the users to know the userid and password. Is this possible? If so...
