Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Announces a Certificate of Registration for a U.S. Trademark for PUZPIX

Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Announces a Certificate of Registration for a U.S. Trademark for PUZPIX

PUZPIX Social Media Game is Embedded with Crypto Technology

SAN DIEGO, CA - December 27, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher" or the "Company"), a development-stage company which specializes in the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, announces that it has obtained via its agent (CTO of Gopher) Dr. Dan Rittman, a Certificate of Registration No. 5.356.006 for the PUZPIX social media game trademark.

The registration was issued in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on December 12, 2017.

Read this news in full at http://www.investorideas.com/CO/GOPH/news/2017/12271PUZPIX.asp

PUZPIX, (introduced by the Company in August 2016) is a social media game based on GOPHERINSIGHT™ technology licensed by the Company. The game uses a computerized framework to create a puzzle from images that users upload onto the system's server. PUZPIX was upgraded to support video and GPS puzzles, as announced in October 2016 and then later that month added the ability to convert YouTube video into puzzles.

GopherInsight™ security algorithm is a different approach which combines a hybrid of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and the newest Honey Encryption algorithms. In addition to AES, high security level of 256-bit or higher, Gopher combines the Honey Encryption method to decoy intruders by providing a "looks real", false data for every incorrect key guess attempt.

The system splits ("puzzles") the data to unlimited number of packets (of different sizes) and stores them according to its private, encrypted index, on devices that are sharing the network, worldwide.

Our Crypto-Technology system is capable of splitting and reassembling the data at a split of a second due to its advanced mathematical database engine.

"PUZPIX has crypto technology embedded within GopherInsight™ concept. This is a significant component within our microchips - encrypted, secured database management system. We implemented within our security system decoys and deception in order to develop a highly secured network protocol. Our security system provides an additional, major protection level by serving up fake data in response to every incorrect guess of the password or encryption key. Even if the intruder makes eventually a correct guess, the real data will be lost amongst the crowd of fake data," said Dr. Rittman, the Company CTO.

ANZ and NXT-ID ( $NXTD) Subsidiary Fit Pay Collaborate to Bring New Tap and Go Payment Devices to the Australian Market

Agreement will provide new contactless payment options for ANZ customers

MELBOURNE, Florida, December 19, 2017 – Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) and Fit Pay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), today announced an agreement to extend contactless payment capabilities to a range of new devices. The agreement enables ANZ cardholders to make secure contactless payments at NFC-enabled point-of-sale locations directly from Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable devices that are integrated with the FitPay^TM payment platform.

“We are very pleased to be working with one of Australia’s leading banks to help drive the adoption of new contactless payment technology,” said Michael Orlando, COO of NXT-ID and President of Fit Pay, Inc. “Australians have embraced the convenience of tap and go payments. This agreement allows them to enjoy that same frictionless payment experience on a wider variety of devices.”

Under the agreement, ANZ will participate in FitPay’s Token Requester Program, which enables cardholders to securely add their payment credentials to devices that are integrated with FitPay’s contactless payment platform. The platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders’ account information with a unique digital identifier (a “token”), to transact highly secure contactless payments. It allows consumers to pay at near-field communication-enabled point-of-sale terminals with a simple tap.

The collaboration with ANZ includes ensuring that the devices meet ANZ’s technical, usage, security, branding, and consumer experience requirements. Manufacturers of 15 IoT and wearable devices are currently integrating with the FitPay Payment Platform^TM. Product announcements from the manufacturers of these devices are anticipated in throughout the next year.

Australia leads the world in the adoption of contactless payments, with 4 in 5 consumers making at least one contactless payment a week.  

ANZ is one of the five largest listed companies in Australia and the number one bank in New Zealand. It operates in more than 34 markets across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Pacific, Europe, America and the Middle East including a technology and operations center in Bengaluru, India.
