Leading Financial Firm Increases Security and Productivity with
                     MetaPass' Patented Technology
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
MetaPass, Inc. today announced the deployment of its universal
single sign-on ("SSO") solution at VSR Financial Services, Inc.
("VSR"). The access to all of VSR's applications has now been
consolidated, delivering a true 100% single sign-on experience to all
of the firm's internal and external users.

   Single sign-on gives computer users the ability to log onto
multiple systems without having to authenticate with passwords
multiple times. Users securely logon once and then access all other
applications with a single click, dramatically increasing network
security and user productivity, while reducing user frustration and
help desk costs. MetaPass is the only single sign-on solution to offer
100% compatibility with all customer applications without any
expensive and time-consuming integration work - installation takes at
most one day.

   Because it is universal, MetaPass is the only SSO in the industry
that runs on multiple platforms, such as Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX,
on both server and desktop sides. As a flexible and extendable
platform, it also integrates with directories (LDAP), provisioning
systems (SPML), and strong authentication devices such as smart cards,
tokens, and biometics.

   "MetaPass is amazingly powerful and easy to use at the same time,"
said Chatten Scruggs, Senior Vice President of Technology at VSR. "Our
users get logged on to multiple applications at once, with a single
click. MetaPass integrated effortlessly with all of our systems, even
the most unusual and complex ones. It truly delivers on its promise."

   "We are proud that we have continued to meet and exceed our
customers' expectations at multiple MetaPass enterprise
installations," commented David Dupouy, CEO of MetaPass. "Our goal is
to continue to enhance the industry's leading SSO solution, and the
momentum we are generating with ongoing customer successes including
leading companies such as VSR has accelerated this effort."
