Internet Portal iDOO.com Presents OpenID, a New Service Providing a Single Internet ID

PARIS, December 20 /PRNewswire/ --      iDOO.com is one of the first European portals to offer OpenID, a
new service allowing any web surfer to use a single Internet address. The
site's web server, http://www.openidoo.com, is available in Beta version.

Among the main developments in frequent surfing habits, one of
the more laborious aspects is the daily connection to Internet sites. Users
are waiting for improvements: simpler, faster connection without the risk of
making mistakes or forgetting multiple user names and/or passwords.

A new service that helps web surfers identify themselves on the
web. The principle is simple:

1 - The web surfer specifies his/her new identity on the server:
http://www.OpenIdoo.com and gets it back as a simple URL, for example
openidoo.com/username.

2 - The web surfer can then add more profiles according to
surfing needs, for example, internet search, e-shopping, membership services,
information, etc.

3 - In order to connect to a (compatible) site, the OpenIDOO
server automatically checks the web surfer's OpenID and connects him/her
instantly.

"We consider that the OpenID authentication protocol is going to
become a vital service for websites and major Internet applications", says
Cédric Nilly, iDoo.com's head of software architecture.

Close to 5,000,000 users on iEUROP websites are directly
affected.

In addition to http://www.iDOO.com, its new contributory
website, iEUROP is going to offer this identification service to all other
users in the future. Content sites such as http://www.iFrance.com,
http://www.iEspana.es, e-commerce website http://www.cashcash.fr, or the
affiliation web marketplace http://www.Rentabilisez.com will benefit. This
represents almost 5,000,000 users with varying profiles and usage needs
(webmasters, contributors, consumers, service users, etc). The main
advantages are: security, ease of use, access to reports on your web activity
and the availability of several profiles according to your surfing habits.

A service freely available to the OpenSource community.

OpenSource has been chosen in order to allow other contributions
to this project. Other complementary partnerships in this project are
currently being planned with major freeware providers: MANDRIVA, for Linux
(with their server, mandriva.openidoo.com), and the MYSQL database.
