Vidoop Tapped by Microsoft HealthVault for Online Log-In & Authentication

Authentication Provider Gives HealthVault Users an Option for Secure Login
PORTLAND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Vidoop, a provider of identity and authentication solutions to the healthcare
and financial services industries, announced today its authentication solution
will be available to Microsoft HealthVault users to access and share health
information online.

"Our objective is to give our customers choice and make their Web experience
easier, while helping them safeguard their privacy," said George Scriban, senior
product manager, Health Solutions Group, Microsoft. "We're happy to be working
with Vidoop to give HealthVault users the option of using their log-in and
authentication solutions with their HealthVault account."

HealthVault enables consumers to share health data with family members,
healthcare providers and others they trust, and use it to make more informed
healthcare decisions. Vidoop gives HealthVault users another option for secure
login to easily access and control their personal information and medical
records online. Vidoop`s unique ImageShield replaces the traditional password
field with an array of photos that are different with every login. When the
ImageShield is presented, the consumer selects the images that fit pre-selected
secret categories and are granted access to their medical records.

"Strong authentication does not have to be a source of frustration for
healthcare providers or patients," says Joel Norvell, co-founder and chief
executive officer for Vidoop. "Our solution effectively defends against
prevalent forms of hacking with a straightforward, intuitive process that limits
access to personal information to authorized users."

Vidoop offers its single sign-on solution at no charge at www.myVidoop.com. Once
a personal account is created, a simple registration process restricts access to
that user`s web browser. Strong authentication is achieved with a combination of
a shared secret and a device activation method.

"The weakest point in Internet security is the front line - where users log-in -
but with strong authentication the front line can become the strongest point,"
said Scott Kveton, Vidoop`s vice president of Engineering.
