We re-filmed the strong authentication demo videos, this time with audio. Check out our videos of Vidoop Secure in action: voice phone call, SMS message, or Vidoop ImageShield. Eric also updated his collection to point to the new videos.

In addition to the reasons I talked about in my previous post, there are other reasons that IIW2008b was a great conference for Vidoop. One of the major reasons is that exceptional progress has been made toward enabling web-based strong authentication to work in more places in the enterprise.

Finovate marked the launch of our expanded Vidoop Secure login [...]

Earlier this week, security researcher Ben Laurie, announced a vulnerability that relates to OpenID in conjunction with recent DNS and SSL certificate vulnerabilities.

Startupalooza is another fantastic event from Legion of Tech, a group of technologists [...]

Google’s Eric Schmidt presented the closing keynote at the HIMSS conference this week where more details about their latest initiative, Google Health, emerged. Marissa Mayer gave a good overview but the specific details are really lacking here. I’d like to talk a little about each of these in turn:

Google announced their long-awaited health record system yesterday. Reaction was certainly mixed but the common theme emerging from the blogosphere was: “How are we going to protect this valuable information?” From the release:

Each health profile, including information about prescriptions, allergies and medical histories, will be protected by a password that’s also required to [...]

From a security perspective knowing that you are human is invaluable. In the real world, you protect your house by installing a security system that monitors human motion and you install deadbolts that stop people from opening the door.
