Tech News Alert: Say Goodbye to Passwords; NXT-ID (OTCQB:NXTD) Patents a Universal Authentication Method to Replace Passwords

SHELTON, CT - March 25, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announced today that it has submitted a patent application for a universal and adaptable authentication and data exchange method. As a follow-up to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61/802,681, NXT-ID has filed patent application 14/217289 for universal authentication and data exchange method, system and service.

The patent is a significant step forward in NXT-ID's vision to provide its proprietary MobileBio® authentication to a number of applications including financial transactions. MobileBio® enables users to identify themselves to a variety of other devices from a single device carried or worn by an individual.
In the MobileBio® ecosystem, devices know each other from a history of communication between one another. This history builds trust between devices by utilizing another NXT-ID invention, dynamic pairing. Since each device is dynamically paired with one another, it maintains a history of trust to secure its communications. When a user authenticates themselves with a local device such as a phone, watch, ring or a smart wallet, the user is also authenticating with other devices and applications that it encounters. This technology will enable users to seamlessly, securely access devices such as doors, phones, laptops, applications, entertainment systems, even remote services using a single device worn on a person.
"This technology enables users to unlock virtually anything, all from a single device that simply knows who you are," says David Tunnell, CTO of NXT-ID. "This invention supports current authentication methods such as passwords, as well as serves as a bridge to newer forms of authentication such as multi-factor authentication to promote universal security within the internet-of-things. Passwords are never forgotten, kept safe within an electronic vault that can also generate and send strong passwords to automatically login to devices and applications over a variety of communication methods such as Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communications)."
"This patent adds to a number of forthcoming technologies that help build our intellectual portfolio in the MobileBio® wearable and mobile markets," says Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID. "We are building products to identify that you are uniquely you. The technology promotes inter-awareness in terms of identity, location, context and utility with secure methods that are dynamic, changing with every new session, and thus difficult to be spoofed."

Authentication/ Cybersecurity Breaking News: NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD) Patents the "Un-Password"

SHELTON, CT - March 20, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announced today that it has submitted a patent application for dynamic pairing. As a follow up to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61/802,681, NXT-ID has filed patent application 14/049175 for

THE "UN-PASSWORD™: RISK AWARE END-TO-END MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION VIA DYNAMIC PAIRING.
This patent represents advancements in biometric and cryptographic authentication, and another key technology to NXT-ID's widely anticipated next generation payment and identity product -- the Wocket™.
Dynamic pairing addresses several vulnerabilities facing current authentication methods. These include "brute force" attacks, where attacking computers systematically check all possible passwords until one is found, and "man in the middle" attacks, which caused the Target and other recent retail data breaches where the attacker impersonates each end point to the satisfaction of the other.
"We wanted to develop a method where devices could establish trust with one another, but without exposing any private information that could be used in an attack or identity theft," says David Tunnell, CTO of NXT-ID. "Instead of passing private, identifiable information about an individual over the internet, we send dynamic pairing codes that contain hidden risk assessments. Each new risk assessment measures how sure 'you are who you say you are' based on multi-factor authentication such as biometrics. Since each new risk assessment is dynamic and hidden within the dynamic pairing code, it makes cyber attacks extremely difficult and easy to detect, while enabling authentication and encryption across remote devices and services."
Dynamic pairing is flexible, easy to implement, and brings a high level of trust to transactions without sharing any private information that could be used for cyber attack. With dynamic pairing, private data is kept private, under the control of the owner of the data where it belongs so that your identity cannot be stolen, while still enabling other systems to trust the authenticity of a user, device or application.
"We believe dynamic pairing could change the way access is given in a vast number of applications and help to prevent substantial losses in the financial payments industry," says Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID. "Dynamic pairing can make a significant difference in identity management and secure communications while enabling individuals to keep their critical and private information from being stolen. Our first application of this innovative technology of course will be our Wocket™ Smart Wallet."
Wocket™ is a new biometrically secure smart wallet designed to replace the traditional wallet and the number of cards consumers carry. Its dynamically programmable magnetic stripe, NXTCard can replace up to 20,000 cards and can include medical records, ID, coupons etc. that are currently kept in a wallet, with one single secure card. Wocket will feature interchangeable accessories, which are direct attachments, to offer various styles, textures and colors to support a variety of common uses including carrying cash. Wocket™ is a smart wallet that can completely replace your existing wallet with more functionality, comfort, style and security.
