Microsoft selects VeriSign to provide secure HealthVault users
VeriSign, a provider of internet infrastructure services, has been selected by Microsoft as an OpenID provider for users of HealthVault, a free service that enables consumers to store and manage their health information online.
Acceptance of VeriSign's OpenIDs secured by the VeriSign Identity Protection Service is expected to give consumers choice when signing into Microsoft HealthVault to help safeguard their personal health information.
Microsoft HealthVault members who have activated their VIP credential on their VeriSign OpenID can also utilize the same VIP credential on eBay, PayPal, AOL and a number of other sites that participate in the VeriSign Identity Protection Network.
