    "Last year, we entered into a strategic
relationship with Entrust because they had the best
customer value proposition and the full suite of solutions
that we needed. We plan to further expand our brand
globally this year and required a more flexible and
extensible authentication solution. The Entrust
IdentityGuard token solution fills that gap at a price that
is best in class in the industry. This is another data point
to reassure us that we picked the right company. We continue
to view our 2006 investment with Entrust as a secure
foundation from which to grow our business globally,"
said Expedia Chief Information Officer Bill Holtz.
"From digital certificates to grid authentication to
hardware tokens, in a single platform Entrust delivers the
range of authentication choices we need to address our
range of business needs."

    Entrust's OTP tokens are designed to deliver
exceptional security and reliability at a fraction of the
cost of traditional suppliers, making them an excellent
choice for deployments where tokens are the preferred
authentication method. Entrust IdentityGuard tokens can be
integrated seamlessly as one of multiple authentication
methods in use with the Entrust IdentityGuard multifactor
authentication platform. By deploying Entrust
IdentityGuard, administrators can tailor authentication
methods to various users' individual security needs while
seamlessly managing a variety of authentication methods --
simply, easily and inexpensively. Currently in production,
the Entrust IdentityGuard token commercial availability is
targeted for Q2 2007. 

    "Tokens can be a very effective authentication
method but historically have had a prohibitively high price
tag. That changes today with the launch of our inexpensive
token option," said Entrust Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer Bill Conner. "Entrust cares
about helping our customers be secure while creating value
for their stakeholders, not painfully gouging them with a
single authentication method. In addition, our customers
will spend a fraction while getting a complete
authentication platform that offers a range of additional
authenticators -- not just one."

    Expedia, Inc. is the world's leading online travel
company, empowering business and leisure travelers with the
tools information they need to easily research, plan, book,
and experience travel. Expedia, Inc. also provides
wholesale travel to offline retail travel agents. Expedia,
Inc.'s portfolio of brands include: Expedia.com(R),
Hotels.com(R), Hotwire Expedia(R) Corporate Travel,
TripAdvisor(TM) and Classic Vacations(R). Expedia, Inc.'s
companies also operate internationally with sites in
Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, the
Netherlands, Australia and China, through its investment in
eLong(TM). 

    "Adding a time-based token to our arsenal gives us
even more flexibility to choose the appropriate
authentication mechanism for different users," said
Expedia Chief Information Security Officer John Millican.
"The best part is that we can issue tokens to users
who, by the nature of the information they need to access,
must have a stronger level of authentication while offering
more appropriate options to a broader audience, all from the
same authentication platform."

    A principal benefit of the Entrust IdentityGuard
multifactor authentication platform is the flexibility and
convenience it offers, allowing organizations to support a
range of consumer and enterprise authentication
capabilities from a single software base. With centralized
policy, these methods can be deployed individually or
layered without requiring the deployment of separate
security infrastructures. Entrust OTP tokens continue this
focus on providing users a variety of options by providing
strong, flexible authentication tailored to a user's needs
-- all at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions.

    This flexibility makes the Entrust solution
particularly appealing to businesses with a varied customer
base, such as financial institutions which may prefer
different authentication methods for different customer
segments.  For enterprise authentication, Entrust's
consistent focus on providing a flexible open platform
means Entrust IdentityGuard can support remote access
solutions from all the leading remote VPN access vendors,
including Cisco, Nortel, Check Point and Juniper -- giving
users a wide array of options to help meet their remote
access needs.  

    Other authentication options that are supported by
Entrust IdentityGuard include machine fingerprinting,
questions and answers, out-of-band one-time passcodes,
mutual authentication through picture replay and physical,
second-factor authentication through Entrust's patented
grid card technology. Entrust IdentityGuard also supports
other third party OTP tokens today. Additional information
