Media Alert; NXT-ID Chief Technology Officer Comments on Why You Need a Smart Wallet

SHELTON, Conn., Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD and NXTDW) ("NXT-ID" or the "Company"), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market issues a recent blog entry from Mr. David Tunnell, Chief Technology Officer. Mr Tunnell examines the case for a smart wallet like Wocket™.

With the variety of new payment solutions being released, consumers may ask which method is best? Each new payment method has its own attributes that promise to make payments more convenient and secure. The good news is that none of these new payment methods are mutually exclusive to one another. Each has its own merit depending on where it can be used. For instance, digital wallets such as Google Wallet, Apple Pay or SoftCard (formally ISIS) may be preferable for locations that accept NFC (Near Field Communications), while another solution might be a better choice for locations that require a new barcode payment system such as being developed by major retailers like Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy. Since none of the new payment methods can be used universally at all locations, the question remains – do you still need a wallet?

Most digital wallets have one thing in common: They all are dependent upon a cell phone. Each new payment method added to a cell phone can be advantageous, depending on when and where you wish to make a payment, but there are always instances where a cell-phone based payment method may not be practical.  A cell phone based payment solution may not be practical when:

Getting money from an ATM. Making a purchase at one of the millions of retail outlets that have not yet replaced their existing point of sale (POS) terminals with new upgraded ones. Making payments in areas with poor connectivity to the Internet. There is a risk that your cell phone battery might run out. Bluetooth does not pair, which may occur with certain methods that require Bluetooth connection with the phone. Then, there is the issue of cash. There are still instances you may need cash or other private information that you want to secure but can't afford to leave at home. These are just some examples of when you may wish you had your wallet with you. 

Smart wallets add electronics to wallets and purses so that you keep your private information secure, only accessible by you. Smart wallets also securely store all of your personal information, not just payment accounts. Furthermore, smart wallets are agnostic to the payment method, capable of supporting new payment methods as they emerge.

So, no matter whether you choose one or more new payment methods associated with your cell phone, there will always be a reason you wished you had a smart wallet. 

We encourage you to take a look at the features of the Wocket™ Smart Wallet and how it might benefit not only your shopping experience, but also all aspects of your wallet by giving you peace of mind with added security to all your personal information.

CORRECTION/ SoundView Technology Group Issues NXT-ID Update Following Wocket Smart Wallet Launch Event

BOSTON, June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SoundView Technology Group: We attended the NXT-ID (OTCQB:NXTD) (OTCBB: NXTD) Wocket(TM) smart wallet launch event in NYC on May 28th and were pleased with the number of features present in the device demonstrated and encouraged by early consumer reaction to the Wocket.

Just one week later we heard Rudy Giuliani talk about how cyber crime has reached "crisis proportions" because "all our sensitive data is in the cloud for criminals to access." His sentiment helps explain why a secure device like the Wocket will be a preferred solution for sensitive financial and other key data. 

NXT-ID is offering pre-orders for the Wocket smart wallet (www.wocketwallet.com)  at $149 and the first shipments to customers are planned for late September. After a review we are keeping our 2014 forecast of 40,000 units and will be evaluating consumer response in order to validate our longer term projects. 

We're also introducing a longer term intrinsic value (IV) estimate of $20.55 for 2015. With a current IV estimate of $11.70 we think growth investors will find the risk/reward of this situation to be attractive.

We previously stated in a prior update, " We believe in the digital conversion of our "wallet" over time and know that mobile devices alone won't be the answer for many years due to power limits, lack of privacy and security concerns. Nobody knows if the NXT-ID Wocket is going to be "the one" but we do know that so far it's the most well designed product we have seen that is coming to market this year."

Our NXT research update (PDF) is available here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/Published_Research/NXT-ID_NXTD_Update_Note_Final_June_2014.pdf

COMPANY OVERVIEW

NXT-ID is an emerging technology company that 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. Led by CEO Gino Pereira and CTO David Tunnell, the company has three distinct lines of business: law enforcement, m-commerce, and biometric access control application.

"NXT-ID is creating a new paradigm for information security beyond the password that is based on innovative biometric technology."

The most common application areas in the field of biometric technology are government, banking, finance, travel and immigration, and defense.

Biometrics provides a high degree of security and convenience which ensures confidentiality of personal information. This is superior to traditional passwords/PINs as these are easily guessed, forgotten, or copied; tokens can be stolen or misplaced. Biometric technology helps in preventing theft as the information is stored in the form of a digital record in the database which makes it highly impossible to reconstruct, decrypt, or manipulate. Biometric uses biological characteristics or features which are inseparable from a person, thus, reducing the threat of loss or theft.

This report describes the market trends, drivers, and challenges of the biometric technology market and forecasts the biometric technology market from 2014 to 2020, based on the applications of the biometric technology and geography. This report covers geographies such as North America, Europe, APAC, and ROW (Rest of the World).

SecureBuy Awarded Canadian Patent for Signature Capture Technology

RIDGELAND, Miss., March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SecureBuy, a leader in global payment fraud prevention and security technology has been granted intellectual property protection for its real-time, online biometric signature capture technology under Canadian patent number 2589108. The patent was awarded by the Canadian Office of Intellectual Property on February 27, 2014.

Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140311/PH80552LOGO

The technology emulates a handwritten signature that can be executed on screen using a stylus, mouse or finger and can be experienced on mobile devices and personal computers. SecureBuy owns the patents for biometric signature capture technology in both the U.S. and Mexico. The addition of this Canadian patent strengthens protection throughout North America for the technology that is a key ingredient in SecureBuy's fraud prevention management solution.

The biometric signature capture introduces a unique, personally identifying mark, recognized by issuing banks as compelling evidence which shows the intent to purchase. So long as the merchant upholds the terms and conditions and the card is not stolen, a customer's signature creates a legally binding sales draft. Integrated as a final stage in the checkout process, SecureBuy takes a snapshot of the terms and conditions along with the signature then stores it as indisputable proof of purchase. Visa began recognizing a signature as compelling proof of purchase back in 2013. 

As early as 1999, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) had proposed the Uniform Electronics Act, which legally recognized the digital signature and was widely adopted at the state level. By 2000, the U.S. Congress passed the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (eSign), nationally recognizing the electronic signature as a legal replacement for an inked signature in all digital transactions.

"The addition of this new patent strengthens our ability to develop technology for the Canadian market and innovate new mCommerce and eCommerce solutions," says James Packer, Esq., COO and General Counsel of SecureBuy. "This patent will help us offer a stable platform for SecureBuy's enterprise merchant, ISO, and acquirer customers doing business throughout North America.

This most recent Canadian patent is a welcome addition to SecureBuy's already strong and rapidly growing patent portfolio. Best known in the U.S. mobile and ecommerce industry for its patented, biometric signature capture technology, SecureBuy wants to grow this reputation across Canada. Biometric signature capture is immediately available from SecureBuy and can be purchased as a stand-alone feature or as part of the company's end-to-end fraud prevention management suite.

About SecureBuy – A SignatureLink Company
SecureBuy is a wholly owned subsidiary of SignatureLink, Inc. Founded in 2002; SecureBuy is an established eCommerce cyber-security and technology company, a payment fraud prevention pioneer and leader. SecureBuy's innovative technology reduces or eliminates the risk of payment fraud for merchants, call centers, consumers and payment processors.

Frost & Sullivan: Growing Need to Locate People and Objects in Buildings Spurs Innovations in Indoor GPS Technology

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The need to locate humans and objects accurately in real time inside buildings is driving demand for indoor global positioning system (GPS) technology. End users across multiple segments including retail, security, marketing and gaming are adopting indoor GPS solutions for location sharing, asset tracking, emergency management, navigation, and context-aware delivery.

Frost & Sullivan's new analysis, Breakthrough Innovations in Indoor GPS, expects the indoor GPS market to reach more than $3.5 million in revenue by 2018.  This research includes key findings, benefits, challenges, participants, the value chain, techniques and approaches, analyst insights, key patents, innovations and applications, and the future of indoor GPS technology.

For more information on this research, please email Britni Myers, Corporate Communications, at britni.myers@frost.com.

The most common tools used for indoor positioning include various types of sensors and communication networks, such as Bluetooth and Wi-fi. However, these approaches lack the level of accuracy end users expect.

"The market must maintain higher levels of accuracy without increasing complexity in implementation and integration to expand its usage in critical applications," noted Frost & Sullivan Technical Insights Research Analyst Debarun Guha Thakurta. "Developers should also invest in extensive research to find new, cost-effective techniques to locate people and objects in indoor environments with optimum precision."

There is also a need to create a standard technology for indoor GPS solutions as solution providers are currently using technologies designed for other purposes, such as communication and illumination. Technology convergence and collaboration with standardization bodies is crucial to address this requirement.

"While technology developers and investors are looking to develop a unified positioning technology that delivers seamless positioning services both indoors and outdoors without the support of a GPS, the lack of individual technologies capable of ensuring optimal accuracy and coverage could lead to the convergence of multiple futuristic technologies," observed Guha Thakurta. "With the introduction of a unified positioning system, customers will be able to locate and navigate anywhere in the world with tremendous accuracy and speed, ushering in an age where literally nothing gets lost."

Breakthrough Innovations in Indoor GPS, a part of the Technical Insights (http://www.technicalinsights.frost.com) subscription, covers the innovations in the indoor GPS technology market along with its potential to converge with other futuristic technologies to create a comprehensive unified positioning solution. This analysis also includes detailed technology analysis and industry trends evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

Vapor Corp. Unveils E-Cigarette Industry's First Biometric Technology

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- from ShowStoppers @ CES 2014 – Vapor Corp. (OTCQB: VPCOD) today announced its Vapor X personalized, rechargeable vaporizer unit will become available to consumers with patent pending fingerprint lock technology in time for the 2014 holiday retail season. There will be a working prototype and early iteration of the product to try today during ShowStoppers at CES 2014, Booth # A5.

In 2013 every corner of the country weighed in on the newest options in alternative smoking devices, making it clear that traditional smoking is on its way to being replaced by "vaping." Now Vapor Corp., a leading publically traded "pure-play" company in the electronic cigarette market, is answering the question on everyone's mind: what comes next?

"The next trend in alternative smoking devices is the personalized vaporizer that incorporates the technology that we expect from our high-end tech devices. Today we are debuting the newest technology in this space," says Kevin Frija, CEO of Vapor Corp. "By incorporating this biometric user identity technology into the Vapor X personal vaporizer, the door is opened to many customizable features.  The fingerprint lock security allows customers to protect their device from use by another individual and this same technology will lead to the development of additional features and controls," continues Frija. "Much like the fitness mobile app technology we have seen gain recent popularity, vaporizer users will soon be able to download their 'vaping' statistics through a corresponding mobile application in order to track exactly how often they use the device."

Vaporizers are the rechargeable, customizable, high-end cousin of the disposable electronic cigarette. The Vapor X with patent pending fingerprint lock technology will incorporate biometric technologies in order to keep the device locked and turned off unless the authorized user is present. When first purchased, the device will require an authorized user to be assigned through a fingerprint scan. Once this user is assigned, he or she is the only person who can activate the device. This will not only protect against minors being able to turn on the device, but it will deem the device useless in the case of theft.

Vapor Corp.'s Vapor X personalized, rechargeable vaporizer unit will become available with patent pending fingerprint lock technology in the second half of 2014 to consumers via online and through authorized dealers nationwide.  The device will retail for between $199 and $299.

About Vapor Corp.:
Vapor Corp. (OTCQB: VPCO) a publicly traded company, is a leading U.S. based electronic cigarette company, whose brands include Fifty-One®, Krave®, VaporX®, EZ Smoker®, Alternacig®, Green Puffer®, Americig®, Fumare™, Hookah Stix® and Smoke Star®.
