Equity Research: NXT-ID (OTCQB:NXTD) Mobile-Bio Platform Enables M-Commerce

November 6, 2013 (Investorideas.com biometrics/ defense stocks newswire) SeekingAlpha.com: SoundView Technology Group issues equity research note - NXT-ID (OTCQB: NXTD) Mobile-Bio Platform Enables M-Commerce.

Technology is finally enabling bio-based security features on mobile devices that will overcome one of the final obstacles to truly mobile digital commerce. One company, NXT-ID (OTC:NXTD), has emerged as a newly public company with a set of technologies and an open platform that can be used across all these applications. Based on our analysis the next few quarters of adoption will drive a near-term intrinsic value of over $10/share and a much higher figure for 2014. This report goes into more detail concerning the technology, the market, and the company.
Device-level sensors, biometrics and embedded processing have arrived. With these advanced technologies, the wallet can be made more versatile, secure and powerful with modern technology built into it. This same approach will be found in a broad range of products from firearms to autos, which will only fire and run if the authorized owner is securely identified and in command. The IT companies have provided more security (multi-factor, out-of-band authentication) but these don't work well because they are neither simple nor obvious. It's now pretty easy to know that "you are you" given enough of the right sensor and biometric information combined with the right data and some local processing.
In the future, it is likely that we are not going to carry around little pieces of colored plastic to make payments; furthermore, we are not going to rely on simple alphanumeric passwords to access our devices and conduct transactions. Lest everyone think the smartphone will save the day, it has a few chronic weaknesses. Power is the most basic one. Consumers expect their keys and wallet to work all the time. Smartphones are not secure or private in the slightest, nor are they likely to become so for quite some time.

Biometric Stock Alert: Nxt-ID, Inc. (OTCQB:NXTD) Announces Release of Biometric Mobile App Ahead of Schedule

SHELTON, CT - November 4, 2013 (Investorideas.com biometrics/ defense stocks newswire) NXT-ID Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometrics company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announced today that it has successfully developed its Voicematch™ algorithm for mobile platforms. Originally scheduled for full release in Q3 2014, progress on the development of Voicematch™ Mobile App technology has exceeded original expectations, prompting NXT-ID to release the product earlier than anticipated.

Voicematch™ is a new method of recognizing both speakers and specific words providing innovative multi-factor recognition that is efficient enough to run on low-power devices.
"We are extremely excited to enable speaker recognition as a multi-factor authentication method for mobile and wearable devices, as speaking is a very natural way to be authenticated," says Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID. "Apple has validated the use of biometrics on mobile platforms by the use of fingerprint scanners on its latest products. Voice authentication is the next step forward."
Voicematch™ is a key multi-factor biometric of NXT-ID's MobileBio™ mobile and wearable identity technologies that bring full control and protection of private data to authenticated users. It is multi-platform, meaning it will run on mobile platforms such as Android and iOS, as well as laptops and desktops. It will also be one of the multi-factor authentication methods for NXT-ID's ultra-low power electronic wallet -- the Wocket™.
"What's amazing is the accuracy that we are achieving with this new voice recognition algorithm with very low power requirements," says David Tunnell, CTO of NXT-ID. "The efficiencies of this product makes biometric authentication possible for a number of mobile and wearable applications where low-power is paramount."
The Company's target market includes smartphone manufacturers and app providers that use personal and sensitive information in their applications.
Details of this innovative technology are forthcoming via an imminent patent application.

Biometric Stock Alert: Nxt-ID Inc. (OTCQB:NXTD) Files Patent for Digital Wallet Technology, the Wocket(TM)

SHELTON, CT - October 21, 2013 (Investorideas.com biometrics/ defense stocks newswire) NXT-ID Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometrics company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announced today that it has submitted a patent application for its unique digital wallet technology. As a follow up to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61/710,826, NXT-ID has filed patent application 14/049175 for a:

METHOD FOR REPLACING TRADITIONAL PAYMENT AND IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND A DEVICE IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD.
This patent forms the basis for NXT-ID's widely anticipated next generation payment and identity product -- the Wocket™.
"Rather than attempting to replace the wallet, as companies such as Google and Isis (founded by AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless) are doing by putting contactless payment capability on smartphones, our method brings the wallet into the 21st century," said Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID, Inc.
"We offer an alternative solution to those who do not wish to give up their wallet and market studies show that represents a significant portion of the population. We offer the modern wallet an electronic vault that is actually part of the wallet, securely protecting private information accessible only by the user via biometric enabled multi-factor authentication. What is unique about this invention is that it secures private information found within a typical wallet, such as credit cards, debit cards, identification information, medical information and records and makes this private information available to owners via an interface made so simple that anyone can use it as they would use their wallet today."
The Wocket™ requires unique biometrically enabled multi-factor authentication to ensure only owners and their private information can be copied into or out from the secure vault wallet device and on to the dynamically programmable magnetic stripe NXTCard. Authenticated users may then select payment information, via touch display or voice command and use the NXTCard as they would any other magnetic stripe credit or debit card.
There is an added advantage in that the NXTCard replaces multiple cards that are currently kept in the wallet with a single secure card.
"This patent is the first of many we plan to submit regarding our wearable identity technologies that bring full control and protection of private data to authenticated owners of the data," said David Tunnell CTO of NXT-ID. "In the coming months, we plan to increase our portfolio of intellectual property with other patents that further promote protection of private data with innovative, easy to use mobile and wearable technologies that conform to how users naturally use devices today."

Biometric Stock Alert: Nxt-ID Inc. (OTCQB:NXTD) Mobile-Bio Technology Holds the Key to Mobile Commerce

BOSTON, MA - October 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com biometrics/ defense stocks newswire) SoundView Technology Group: New report highlights an emerging technology company, NXT-ID Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), as a provider of "Mobile-Bio" technology to enable mobile commerce industry-wide.

The lack of robust security is one of the chief obstacles holding this market back. Technology leaders like Apple have been making acquisitions (like AuthenTec for $350M in July of 2012) and filing patents to attempt to provide some of these features on the iPhone.
Passwords have become the joke of the information security industry since they offer no real protection in most cases. Biometric techniques must incorporate multiple factors to be secure and easy to use. Combinations of fingerprint, facial recognition, voice and big data analysis will be the essence of future secure consumer systems, for mobile in particular.
NXT-ID (NXTD) had developed a platform of "Mobile-Bio" technologies the address the needs of this market which include:

1. Mobile-Bio FaceMatchTM - 2D, 3D and pseudo-3D methods to perform facial recognition.
2. The WocketTM - a new class of biometrically secure mobile devices designed to replace the traditional wallet.
3. Mobile-Bio SensorTM - 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. VoiceMatchTM - a unique biometric-enabled method to add multi-factor biometric identifiers (both speech and speaker recognition) to Dynamic Pairing Codes using a simple low-power embedded processor on an external device.
5. Mobile BioCloudTM - a cloud-based end-point (authentication service) to authenticate any "end-point" along a communication path, including external biosensors.

According to the authors of this report, Stephen Waite and Kris Tuttle, "NXT-ID biometric security products target a broad market opportunity space that includes m-commerce, enterprise, law enforcement, defense and Homeland Security."
NXT-ID is an early stage technology company going after a large market. Based on initial traction and a conservative intrinsic valuation (IV) model show a fair value of $10.90/share we see the company continuing to benefit from intensive investor attention to this space.
