NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXTD) and (NXTDW), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announces that Mr. David Tunnell, the Company's Chief Technology Officer, has been invited to present at CARTES SECURE CONNEXIONS AMERICA 2015. As an expert in biometrics and secure communications, Mr. Tunnell will speak on the critical issue of "Global Fraud: Where is the Trust in Cyberspace?"  CARTES SECURE CONNEXIONS AMERICA is a new business event designed to promote smart technologies in the large and dynamic North American market.

David will discuss enabling technologies that keep private information private where it belongs while facilitating unparalleled convenience and security. Much like how people become familiar with persons' attributes such as their face, voice and other unique features and mannerisms, David will discuss methods such as dynamic pairing to enhance trust between users, devices and applications as they "learn" more about each other via historical "inter-awareness." NXT-ID's patent pending dynamic paring is means to better earn trust over time as users, devices and applications interact and authenticate with one another in order to augment and improve the state-of-the-art in cybercrime, share intelligence and respond prudently in the event of a breach. The session will be held Tuesday, May 5th from 11:15 - 11:45 AM in Washington D.C. Key themes to be discussed will include data security, authentication, digital identities, privacy and anonymity.  More info on the Conference: CARTES SECURE CONNEXIONS AMERICA 2015 May 5-7, 2015 Washington, DC:www.cartes-america.com

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) news: The US Patent and Trademark Office published a patent filing from Apple that could have to do with part of its mobile security feature that collects fingerprints in order to unlock devices and conduct other functions through certain iPhone models. The patent described a method of recording an individual's fingerprints by way of the Touch ID mobile security sensor from Apple, so this information could then be uploaded to the cloud and synced with other Apple devices. The sensor necessary for Touch ID has been built into Apple technology in its smartphones since the iPhone 5S, and in the iPads that have been released since that time in 2013. The sensor allows a device owner to use his or her fingerprints in order to access the device. However, more recently, it also became an identity verification feature when making purchases through the new mobile wallet system, Apple Pay.
