Biometric Stock Alert: Nxt-ID Inc. (OTCQB:NXTD) Provides update on the Wocket™ and 3D FaceMatch™ Systems.

SHELTON, CT - October 8, 2013 (Investorideas.com biometrics/ defense stocks newswire) NXT-ID Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometrics company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, today announced that it has issued the following product update for the Wocket™ and 3D FaceMatch™ Systems.

Mr. Gino M. Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID Inc., notes, "NXT-ID is building an innovative, next generation information security platform using advanced biometric technology to enable secure transactions, identity management, and access control via mobile and other devices in an intuitive, cost-effective and easy-to-use manner. NXT-ID is creating a new paradigm in information security."
He also added, "At the heart of NXT-ID's new paradigm is real-time, dynamic, multi-factor biometric authorization that is user friendly and extremely difficult to hack, thus providing greater security beyond conventional security systems. This system combines multiple attributes that are unique to each user such as face, voice, fingerprint, and retina with multiple attributes that are unique to other identifiable features, such as devices and accounts, to form an impenetrable security solution. By introducing this new paradigm, NXT-ID hopes to shatter the conventional User/Password structure that currently exists."
"The market opportunity for NXT-ID's biometric security products is significant. The Wocket™ alone has a target market of nearly $1B in the U.S. The opportunity will expand across multiple segments, given that the company's products target consumers, enterprise and government agencies in the U.S. and overseas."
NXT-ID's expertise in biometrics, along with its growing patent portfolio of cutting edge technology, gives the company a solid foundation upon which to make the new security paradigm a reality in the marketplace. The product roadmap is ambitious with several new security products scheduled for release in the months ahead, all of which are based off of the company's Mobile-Bio™ platform. NXT-ID is using its Mobile-Bio™ platform to commercialize a range of next generation security products targeted at a range of applications that extends across multiple segments. These products include:
1. The Wocket™ - a new class of biometrically secure mobile devices designed to bring the traditional wallet into the 21st century by providing the functionality of a wallet and incorporating a touch screen and a single dynamically programmable card to use for credit, debit and any other magnetic stripe functions.
2. Mobile-Bio FaceMatch™ - 2D, 3D and pseudo 3D methods to perform facial recognition. Additionally, NXT-ID is seeking to incorporate its patent pending "FacePassword" as a method to add multi-factor face and face movement to Dynamic Pairing Codes using simple low-power embedded processor on an external device (biosensor), such as a Wocket™, that then connects to other end-points using Dynamic Pairing Codes.
3. Mobile-Bio Sensor™ - a simple, web-enabled, biometric-enabled external device that is used for local authentication and remote authentication with the BioCloud™ and/or remote servers.
4. VoiceMatch™ - a unique biometric-enabled method to add multi-factor biometric identifiers (both speech and speaker recognition) to Dynamic Pairing Codes using simple low-power embedded processor on an external device (e.g., BioSensor), such as the Wocket™, that then connects to other end-points using NXT-ID's Dynamic Pairing Codes.
5. Mobile BioCloud™ - a cloud-based end-point (authentication service) to authenticate any "end-point" along a communication path, such as external biosensors such as the Wocket™ and/or other PCs or servers along the path. A dynamic pairing code is sent to the BioCloud™ where it is combined with other "identifiers" (such as device serial number, master key, wallet key, dynamic pairing keys, Firmware key) dynamically (per NXT-ID's proprietary algorithm that selects which identifiers are used when) to issue a response, which is the compared by each end-point.
NXT-ID's Mobile-Bio™ platform is diverse and contains a host of proprietary, next generation security technologies. The diversity of the platform is a key asset. It reflects the experience and depth of the company's management and software developers in biometric technology. The platform enables NXT-ID to produce a range of innovative products incorporating proprietary methods targeted at different applications and market segments that includes m-commerce, enterprise, law enforcement, defense and Homeland Security.
NXT-ID plans to develop and foster market niches targeted at consumers and small business while continuing to serve the law enforcement and defense markets.
The Company is currently testing its 3D FaceMatch system for law enforcement with Palm Bay Police in Florida and is ruggedizing the system for real world conditions. This work is expected to be completed by the end of November 2013 and the 3D facial recognition system is anticipated to be launched for sale to law enforcement and corporations desiring secure access control in December 2013. The Company has hired an in-house sales representative to facilitate demonstrations and sales.
The Wocket development is proceeding well and several key modules have been completed. A manufacturing prototype is anticipated to be completed by December 2013 and sales of this product are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2014. The Company is taking a segmented approach to this very large consumer market and targeting 3 niche markets initially;
a) Students at colleges and universities
b) Organizations that offer members identity protection services, and
c) Banks that wish to offer premier customers a novel, advanced, secure method of payment

Facial Recognition Stocks to Watch: (FB), (HPQ), (NXTD), (SNE), (YHOO)

New York, NY - October 4, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including biometric and security stocks issues a snapshot for facial recognition stocks.

Biometric technology has become a hot topic in the headlines, from mobile phone security with Apple (AAPL) to analysts predicting biometrics will become mainstream technology in the future. Leading tech companies are introducing fingerprint, facial recognition and voice recognition technology in everything from social media to mobile and gaming.
According to a report on Nextgov.com Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE :HPQ) has just been awarded a $102.8 million contract to upgrade Homeland Security Department employee identification cards with features that accommodate iris and facial recognition, according to federal funding databases.
Article source

In late August NXT-ID, Inc (NXTD:OTCQB) a biometrics company focused on the growing m-commerce market announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, 3D-ID, LLC commenced a pilot program with the Palm Bay, FL Police Department to evaluate its 3D FaceMatch™ biometric facial recognition identification systems.
The identification management systems leverage unique and patented FaceMatch™ 3D technology that precisely senses shape at up to a million points on a face without using lasers or projected patterns. This individually unique shape information is compressed into a small 3D biometric template containing a complete 3D shape signature of that individual face. This shape signature is rapidly compared to other templates in a database. Unlike 2D recognition methods where performance is highly variable depending on scene lighting, head pose, facial expression, eyewear, facial hair and cosmetics, FaceMatch™ templates and performance remain invariant over an extremely wide range of imaging variables. This enables reliable, scalable, and convenient face recognition solutions.
The system is being used at Palm Bay to enroll inmates into local detention centers, creating a 3- dimensional database that can be used in the future to potentially identify persons of interest. Inmates that are released will also have their identities verified through 3D facial recognition to prevent the inadvertent release of the wrong individual.
Facebook ( FB) has caused a lot of controversy and buzz in the social media sector as they talk about introducing a facial recognition technology to match faces in photos with public profile features. Facebook acquired a Face.com in 2012 as part of its roll out strategy. ‘ Yahoo ( YHOO ) also recently announced its acquisition of IQ Engines, a start-up company in face and image recognition technologies to use for Flickr.
And now facial recognition and biometrics are coming to a game near you.
According to a recent article Sony (SNE) is incorporating multiple forms of biometrics into the PS4. “With the use of the PS4 Eye Camera, Sony's next-gen console will now have its own champion against the Kinect. According to Joystiq, the PS4 Eye Camera will allow voice and face recognition, so you can easily load up games, navigate the OS, and give in-game commands. This feature will immediately be made available for Knack.”
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/507521/20130920/ps4-ps3-games-streaming-eye-camera-kinect.htm
So as biometrics enters all phases of every day life, it creates new levels of security and controversy over privacy issues. There is game changing technology to pay attention to for investors.

Biometrics Analysts and Experts from Goode Intelligence, Biometrics Institute and NXT-ID, Inc (OTCQB: NXTD) Discuss Recent Hacking of Apple's (AAPL) Touch ID Fingerprint Technology and the Future of Biometrics

Point Roberts, WA, NEW YORK, NY - October 2, 2013 (Investorideas.com biometrics/ defense stocks newswire) Mobile Security Biometrics Alert: Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investor research in leading sectors, issues a follow up to its recent article , Analysts and Industry Participants Share Insight Into the Future of Mobile Security and Biometrics, following the recent reports of Apple's Touch ID Fingerprint Technology being attacked by professional hackers. Alan Goode, Managing Director of GoodeIntelligence.com, Isabelle Moeller, Chief Executive at Biometrics Institute and Mr. Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc (OTCQB:NXTD) share insight on the security of Apple's (AAPL) Touch ID and the future trends in biometrics.

Apple bought its technology for $365 million from AuthenTec a year ago and in spite of hacking headlines, most analyst agree the biometric technology is very safe and secure for most users and the wave of biometric technology implementation will continue.
Alan Goode, Managing Director of GoodeIntelligence.com, who has been predicting the implementation of biometrics in smartphones for some time said "There is no doubting that Apple's Touch ID can be fooled into accepting fake (lifted) prints but it does take a relatively high level of forensic and material sciences skills which will be outside the skills of most people. There is always a trade-off between security and convenience and I feel that for the one-touch capability of unlocking a mobile device, Touch ID does a very good job. Apple may need to review security measures if it wants to extend the functionality of Touch ID to enterprise and commercial applications. I always maintain that two or multi-factor authentication is required to validate identity for high risk tasks such as making a financial payment. Apple may want to include a second or third factor for this type of function."
Mr. Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc. http://www.nxt-id.com/, who has over 30 years of executive, operational and financial experience with technology companies in the United States, Europe and the Far East agrees with Mr. Goode saying, " there are varying degrees of security that are effective depending on the application. Password hacking can be done anonymously from a long distance, whereas hacking fingerprints requires a more complex personal attack. It requires more effort, equipment and personal access to the actual person; and because it's so much more complex the payoff has to be worth the effort. Apple should be applauded for bringing innovative biometric technology to the consumer. "
He also went on to say that using multimodal identification at the same time, such as password and fingerprint recognition creates a higher level of security.
His company is launching its innovative MobileBio™ suite of biometric solutions, starting with the Wocket™ an advanced secure electronic wallet that will use voice biometrics, later this year.
His company's subsidiary, 3D-ID LLC deploys 3D facial biometric identification and has 22 licensed patents.
Isabelle Moeller, Chief Executive at Biometrics Institute released the following news earlier today addressing the iPhone fingerprint technology attack. They noted the group claiming success, known as the Chaos Computer Club from Germany has been involved in similar biometric attacks.
"The BVAEG - a subcommittee of the independent Biometrics Institute - consists of many of the most experienced experts in this area from around the world," says Isabelle Moeller, Chief Executive of the Biometrics Institute, "the BVAEG mission is to raise awareness of the need for vulnerability detection to be included with biometric devices, to promote standards, enhance privacy protection, performance measures and testing, and to help facilitate the dissemination of new research or findings in this area."
Their press release also quoted Tsutomu Matsumoto from Yokohama National University, a member of BVAEG, as saying "the current attack requires the lifting and processing of a high quality latent fingerprint at high resolution in order to make a successful spoof. These factors should be considered when assessing this attack's impact under realistic usage scenarios."
The Biometrics Institute encourages manufacturers of equipment that include biometrics sensors to be proactive in adopting spoof detection technology to maximise the chance of successfully rejecting a biometric spoof, and also recommends government agencies and top-level decision makers be aware of the need for appropriate biometric vulnerability testing and certification as they consider both the risk and the convenience of the security mechanism(s).
In terms of the future most analyst see biometrics going mainstream and that Apple's Touch ID has paved the way. Gino Pereira sees a future down the road where we will be wearing a device that will monitor us biometrically to provide access to everything we need.

Technology Today Radio: Apple (AAPL) giving us another reason to Give the Finger: Ajay Gupta interviews Biometrics Expert Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID (NXTD)

New York, NY - September 26, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in independent research in leading sectors including biometrics and mobile security stocks features a recent in interview with NXT-ID, Inc.(OTCQB: NXTD). Technology Today blog radio host Ajay Gupta interviews biometric expert Mr. Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID (OTCQB: NXTD) to discuss recent developments in biometrics and how Apple (AAPL) is taking the lead in mobile security. Gino shares insight into what works now, what doesn’t work and the future of biometrics as it becomes mainstream technology.

Technology Today ;Apple giving us another reason to Give the Finger
Ajay Gupta interviews Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID (OTCQB: NXTD )
Intro -
Apple's new OS, iOS 7, and two new phones, the iPhone 5c and 5s, have received a lot of attention. And they've sold 9 million phones in the first weekend of sales.
One feature that hasn't received as much discussion as may be deserved is the fingerprint biometric feature.  That's the kind of tech we like to discuss at Technology Today and we'll do that this Wednesday at 6pm EST.
Security is an ever growing concern and the 4-digit pass code is often more of an annoyance than a deterrent. Perhaps a finger tap approach, which we are used to anyway from opening apps, will do better? 
Some say this is a slippery slope that once we are accustomed to using our fingers, retina scanners, voice print and other more intrusive biometric approaches will become the norm.
The show discuses the pros and cons and takes a deeper look at the biometric teck. Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID, is a recognized expert in the technology space having built start-ups across the world.  His current business, NXT-ID, is active in biometrics with special application in mobile payment security.

Biometrics Stocks Take Center Stage As Apple (AAPL) iPhone Sales Soar

New York, NY - September 23, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor portal specializing in sector research including biometrics and mobile security stocks, issues an updated directory for biometrics stocks following Apple’s report of selling over 9 Million iPhones over the weekend that incorporate biometric technology.

The new biometric Touch ID fingerprint technology has resulted in a new wave of interest in biometric technology and related stocks within the sector. Shares of Precise Biometrics, Fingerprint Cards, ImageWare Systems and NXT-ID, Inc have all benefited from the new buzz created by Apple’s implementation.
Additionally the biometric sector has made headlines as the Department of Homeland Security tests facial recognition technology and leading companies including Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) add facial recognition to their platforms .
Apple Reviews
Walter S. Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal recommends iPhone 5s "for anyone looking for a premium, advanced smartphone." He calls the phone’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor "a potentially game-changing hardware feature" and iOS 7 "a radically new operating system."
Ed Baig of USA Today looks at both iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. On the iPhone 5s, he writes, "Taken in totality, the features new to the iPhone 5s make what I consider to be the best smartphone on the market even better." He concludes, "I can strongly recommend either new iPhone but especially the 5s."
David Pogue of The New York Times posts two stories. In his iOS review he writes, "The structure, layout and features represent some of Apple’s best work." In his iPhone review, he calls iPhone 5c "a terrific phone," noting, "The price is right. It will sell like hot cakes." On iPhone 5s, he’s impressed with the improved camera and says the best part of Touch ID is "it actually works — every single time, in my tests. It’s nothing like the balky, infuriating fingerprint-reader efforts of earlier cellphones."

Mobile Security and Biometrics Sector Snapshot: AAPL, NXTD

New York, NY - September 16, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investor research in leading sectors, issues commentary on the mobile security sector . Frost & Sullivan’s Global Program Director, ICT in Financial Services, Jean-Noel Georges and Alan Goode, Managing Director from Goode Intelligence share insight into the rapidly changing sector and comment on Apple’s (AAPL) recent implementation of fingerprint biometrics.

Additionally the CEO of an industry newcomer NXT-ID, Inc. ( OTCQB: NXTD), shares his perspective on the future of biometrics for identification and verification.
Last year Goode Intelligence predicted that mobile biometric security would move from "an interesting concept” to a "must-have” feature for all smart mobile devices (SMDs) His predictions have come to fruition.
Alan Goode, Managing Director of GoodeIntelligence.com recently shared his insight with Investorideas.com telling us, "I believe that the main driver for adoption of biometrics into consumer electronic devices is the mass adoption of smart mobile devices and the challenges this poses for strong authentication and identity verification - in other words how do we securely prove identity on a mobile device without affecting the user experience. Passcodes and One-Time-Passwords are not the most convenient way to prove identity on a mobile device, especially when we are on the move. As more and more of our daily lives are being managed by these devices, having to authenticate using technology that was designed for a personal computer and a keyboard is becoming undesirable. "
"What Apple ( AAPL ) has done with Touch ID is to improve the usability of identity verification on mobile devices - to make it more convenient. "
He also sees biometrics playing a key role in other technology, saying "There is a move to make authentication and identity verification on mobile devices more convenient and biometrics can provide a solution to this. This includes many biometric modalities including fingerprint, voice, facial and eye verification technologies. We predict that we shall see a marked increase in consumer technology supporting biometric authentication. Not just mobile phones, but smart TVs, games consoles, cars and wearable technology. Take a look at the latest Xbox console, Xbox one - it supports voice and facial recognition. Multi-factor biometric authentication can support many endpoints and ensure that we have a continuous experience when we switch between endpoints (NOTE: Take a look at this video from Nuance for a glimpse into what can happen with cross-platform voice recognition.” (http://venturebeat.com/2013/09/08/how-nuance-tapped-the-cloud-to-bring-voice-recognition-to-mobile/).
Mr. Gino M. Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc. ( OTCQB: NXTD said "Over the past couple of years it has become apparent that simple password protection is not sufficient in today's increasingly sophisticated hacking world. Now giants such as Apple ( AAPL ) and Google ( GOOG) are publically saying so. The next few years will see increasing usage of all different forms of biometrics for identification and verification. One day somewhere in the future we will seamlessly have access to our homes, cars, computers and other devices simply by being in proximity to them and being recognized biometrically. It will be simple, seemless and more secure "
NXT-ID is launching an advanced MobileBio™ technology that secures consumers' platforms via innovative authentication and encryption.
The first product the company is launching later this year is the Wocket™, a unique technology with a very different approach to payment security. Instead of replacing the wallet, they are aiming to improve upon it. The Wocket™ reduces the number of cards in your wallet while supports virtually every payment method currently available at Point-of-Sale (POS) at retailers around the world including magnetic stripe, EMV/NFC and barcode…all within a secure vault within a wallet.
Analyst Jean-Noel George from Frost & Sullivan recently said, "Protecting the mobile device itself is a first step, necessary to secure mobile payments. Although a personal identification number (PIN) can do the job, in 2011 more than 60 percent of smartphone users were not using a PIN to protect their mobile access. "
"The time is now right for biometric technology to emerge as a secure solution for mobile applications that require high levels of security, particularly payment," said Mr. Georges. "From a pure-payment security point of view, biometrics has already delivered significant advantages."
Investorideas.com asked him how long he thinks it will take for NFC or touchless payments to be in widespread use for payments in the US and what percentage of credit card holders in the US currently use NFC to make payments and how does he see that number changing over the next 5 years ?
He noted. " For the payment industry, the US market moved directly from magnetic stripe payment card to contactless payment cards. The infrastructure (POS, ATM) are being changed to accept contactless payment cards in the US. Major industry players (financial institutions, MNOs, OEM handset vendors,...) are deeply involved in the NFC technology. We can also add ISIS as a perfect driver for a US massive roll out. But the reality is different, and having NFC capabilities on your smartphone, does not automatically generate end user massive adoption and usages. I do not see NFC in the US as an important means of payment before 2015. "
"If you are back to the means of payment industry, it took 2 decades in Europe to move from cash/coins to EMV card payment. In the US, it will take time for the end user to move from the well known bank card to a NFC mobile payment. "
In discussing how the wallet war shifting to an MPOS war he said, " Many players already entered to the wallet war (software vendors, banks, financial institutions, ...) without a real leader. I can see the same business orientation coming to the mPOS. Many players are entering to this market with a plethora of solutions, but at the moment none took the lead. For SMB and SME, there is a real value added to use mPOS instead of traditional POS hardware. They just need to add a small add-on (most of the time for free) and they will be charged a little more than traditional fees but only based on their sales. Some business models have fixed fees based on your sales amount. So you have to pay even when you did not sale anything, which I s not comfortable for the retailer. The platform to be used is your own device (smartphone and/or tablet).
Commenting on Apple's ( AAPL ) recent acquisition of Authen Tec fingerprint biometric technology Jean-Noel said, " As I said, fingerprint recognition made lot of progress in terms of quality, speed and of price (as finger print readers were not doing perfect recognition. New ones are doing several pictures of your finger to obtain a better result). Apple just confirmed the rumors were referring to. The quality level of fingerprint technology reached a sufficient level at that time. So I don't think that a multimodal solution for basic application will be a major trend in a short time. I heard about Validity Sensors Inc doing the same."
In terms of industry growth he told us . " We are forecasting for Europe a €151 billion in 2017, and €502 billion in 2017 globally. Once again, mobile payment included for us, SMS, USSD, online payment, NFC, P2P and cloud based payment. I can see that Identity Access Management (IAM) is one of the biggest growth opportunities for the security mobile industry. We are forecasting 1.14 billions smartphone devices in 2017 with associated revenue of $371 billion. "
Noting key trends for investors following the mobile payment and mobile security space he commented, " IAM will be key for mobile security. I saw that to overpass the lack of adoption and the complex ecosystem, many players are using cloud based credential for payment. Cloud solutions for payment are definitively a trend to follow. You have cost efficiency, easy to use and a sufficient security level. Cloud will be strategic in the future. Apple already mentioned that biometric data will not be stored on the cloud....but for how long?"
