NXT-ID Announces Credit Card Fraud Prevention Initiative "Checkout With Wocket"

Preventing Fraud at the Point of Sale (POS)

SHELTON, CT--(Marketwired - Jan 7, 2014) - NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometrics company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, revealed its "Checkout with Wocket™" initiative today which utilizes patent-pending dynamic pairing technology (DPT) to prevent credit card fraud. The initiative secures all payment card information before, during and after transactions without changing the existing current payment infrastructure.

"2013 was clearly the 'Year of Personal Data Breach.' Target capped off the year with over 40 million credit and debit card account numbers lost to hackers by malware at point of sale terminals," says David Tunnell, CTO of NXT-ID. "Our dynamic pairing technology is built upon the existing systems retailers use today, but with the Wocket™ smart wallet, we can provide a dynamic pairing number for any account, not just a single 'card.'"

NXT-ID believes the problem behind credit card fraud is not the security of the server housing the card numbers but rather, whether or not that data is useful to a hacker. The "Checkout with Wocket™" initiative is built upon the simple principle of making that data useless in the case of a data breach. With this technology, if someone gained access to a credit card number used with a Wocket™ smart wallet, it would not work if sold or used outside of the Wocket™ itself, rendering it completely useless to a hacker.

Various methods such as one-time-passcodes (OTP) and chip-and-pin cards have attempted to improve security in the payment industry. Unfortunately, these approaches were not universal across all payment accounts and methods, and are often very expensive for retailers to support, requiring costly changes to infrastructure for wide-scale adoption. NXT-ID solves this problem by utilizing the Wocket™ smart wallet to generate a dynamic account number that reveals no information about the actual account number , but is "dynamically paired" to a specific account number so that a transaction can take place without uprooting the retailer's existing infrastructure. Since the Wocket™ uses standard magnetic stripe technology on its reprogrammable card, no additional hardware at the retailer level is required.

Unlike previous methods that generate an OTP or PIN for a single card, NXT-ID's smart wallet is unique in that it can generate one or a number of pseudo-random dynamic pairing codes that are correlated and charged to a single valid credit card account . With the Wocket™, card issuers now have a solution to prevent fraud from skimming and data breaches saving millions of dollars each year in fraudulent activity.

Any card number that is intercepted after the charge is useless for performing theft or fraud.

"We are very excited to offer a solution to the payment industry that prevents the rampant loss of private information that is so prevalent in recent news," says Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID. "Dynamic pairing technology gives retailers, banks and credit card companies the opportunity to offer their customers the ability to confidently release their personal information without fear of fraud and without having to modify the current payment process . This is a true innovation for the future of payments."

Dynamic pairing technology compliments NXT-ID's widely anticipated next generation payment and identity protection product -- the Wocket
