Trying to Stay Ahead of the Thieves
New York NY - Point Roberts WA – January 12, 2014 –

Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including
technology and tech stocks, releases highlights of the CES 2015 (Consumer
Electronics Show) Personal Privacy marketplace.
With identity theft issues making headlines in
2014, it’s no surprise that the personal privacy marketplace at CES was
continuously busy. From how to make payments securely - to protecting identity,
each company offered different approaches and solutions. Some worked as an app,
others separate from a smartphone and one simply blocks your smartphone
information in a secure pocket; here’s a glimpse at what’s next from iWallet,
Wocket, LoopPay, Silent Pocket and HyprKey.
The busiest booth by far was the Wocket smart
wallet (www.wocketwallet.com). The
back-wall continuous running videos of how it works, in addition to daily
performances of master pickpocket & entertainer Apollo Robbins attracted large
crowds of curious media, retailers and industry attendees.
Apollo showed how easily a wallet can be stolen in just
seconds and the Wocket team demonstrated how their biometric smart wallet acts
like a personal vault, accessible only by you with a combination of voice and PIN
biometrics. Once in, users can enter and store all the cards they would carry
in their wallet (up to 10,000) onto the Wocket, replacing credit cards, debit
cards and loyalty cards with one single secure card that “zeroizes” after each
transaction. If the card is stolen, it is a worthless blank card! A key difference from Wocket and most secure
payment technology; it’s separate from your smartphone!

A different approach to wallet security - iWallet (www.iwalletusa.com). Their biometric
wallet is accessible by your fingerprint and inside the metal case; all your
cash and credit cards are secure and safe. They also showcased their iPassport
biometric technology.

Silent
Pocket
Silent Pocket
was created to shield your identity, your smartphone and other items in a
wallet like pocket that shields frequencies for RFID, NFC, Cellular and more.
So, if you want to go shopping in a large retail outlet and don’t want to be
tracked or attacked with ads, you put your phone and ID into the Silent Pocket. The idea they say, is to make any device
unhackable, untrackable and undetectable! (www.silent-pocket.com)

LoopPay, Inc.
LoopPay and
its mobile wallet, one of the most well-known names in the personal privacy
marketplace, demonstrated how you can potentially pay anywhere with its app and
leave your wallet at home. On their brochure/handout at CES, they invited users
to take the Apple Pay/LoopPay challenge. Obviously one of the biggest differences -
LoopPay works with both iPhone and Android and is not associated with any particular
device maker. The LoopPay app is locked with a PIN and password. (www.LoopPay.com)
