Manchester, NH -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/27/2017 -- Today AuthenticID announced that is delaying the start of its ATHAU token sale to November 28, 2017. Private pre-sale of the ATHAU tokens will commence immediately except in jurisdictions where such sale is forbidden by statute.

The rescheduling is to allow time for the company to file for and comply with an SEC exemption under Rule 506(c), which is a similar path that Filecoin took, the largest token offering to date, and which others are starting to follow.

Under Rule 506(c) all purchasers will be required to be accredited investors. Pre-sale purchasers will be required to sign a pre-sale agreement and cooperate with standard KYC and investor accreditation validation.

Jeff Jani, the company's Chief Operating Officer, said "Our ATHAU token has always been designed to be a discount coupon for our services which can be redeemed or resold upon complying with SEC rules. Taking the conservative approach to file in the US for an exemption under SEC Regulations will make our ATHAU token sale stronger and safer for purchasers by reducing the risk of regulatory issues. Our business is protecting some of the biggest brands on the planet from regulatory risks and fraudsters. Thus, we feel we need to set the compliance bar higher to protect our current and future stakeholders."

The AuthenticID token sale supports the company's "Smart Identity Platform" to give an array of options to people and businesses who have requirements to authenticate the identity of a person, usually initially with a government ID.

Today, AuthenticID provides the fastest, easiest, and most reliable way to verify real-world identities across the Internet with automated identity and trust verification. We call this the "first mile" of identity authentication that every KYC process, biometric service, or blockchain application requires.

What is the "First Mile"?

"First Mile" authentication refers to the process of confirming a person is who they say they are, using a government issued ID and a selfie and some complex machine learning software. Banks and healthcare organizations have been manually doing First Mile authentication for years. Now everyone can do it anywhere they are on a mobile device, in as little as ten seconds based upon AuthenticID's core technology that it has been selling to large global enterprises for years.

Las Vegas, NV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/25/2017 -- A key portfolio of payment-authentication patents has been licensed by AuthenticID for the exclusive use with its identity validation payments platform.

With the opening of Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, AuthenticID announced that it has expanded its already significant patent footprint and competitive advantage with a multi-modal, payment-authentication patent license from Collective Dynamics. "The payment industry is experiencing rapid change and risk which represent new challenges and opportunities for both incumbents and newcomers. Increasing fraud and false declines are the unfortunate consequences of legacy processes", said Steve Bacastow, Founder and CEO of Collective Dynamics, Inc. "The recent massive breaches of consumer data from Yahoo, Anthem and Equifax require the payment industry to fundamentally rethink how KYC and transaction authentication are conducted" added Blair Cohen, AuthenticID's Founder and Chief Evangelist.

According to the company, with the latest 'Biometric + PIN on Glass' patent that emphasizes a 'device as an authenticator model', the total number of Collective Dynamics patents licensed under the agreement has grown to five issued and allowed patents that together address key, payment-processing industry emerging trends, vulnerabilities and use cases and specifically target the weaknesses of legacy authentication models which are based on passwords, PINs and signatures. "With each new authentication method or control come new forms of fraud" said Bacastow, adding that "while biometrics are considered far superior to PINs, static biometrics have recently been shown to be vulnerable to spoofing. For this reason, multi-factor authentication and multi-modal technology are required to leapfrog the bad actors. Under this latest patent, a PIN is captured contemporaneously with a biometric factor either directly from the mobile device user interface or from a connected device such as a wearable device."

The Collective Dynamics patents, with priority filing dates of almost ten years, anticipated many of these urgent industry issues and describe the use cases and solutions that are needed in the payment industry today including:

- A rules-based system configurable by networks, issuers, merchants, and consumers
- Omni-commerce venues including: ecommerce, physical, and mobile
- Payment tender types including: cards, tokenized, gift, and alternative
- Biometric authentication using a mobile device
- A multi-modal, mobile user interface

"With the recent announcement from MasterCard that the decades-old requirement to capture signatures will soon be retired and an announcement by Visa regarding its 'ID Intelligence', authentication eco system, there is no question that the industry is moving broadly and quickly to implement many forms of these patented solutions to address what many believe is now becoming a crisis", said Collective Dynamics Executive, Tony Emrick. "This newest patent complements AuthenticID's already FIDO-compliant authentication solution which uses the mobile device as an authenticator in connection with consent-based transaction authentication models." said Cohen, adding "There is an opportunity for AuthenticID to leverage its technology and leadership position in identity management to help its customers navigate through these complex issues."

These Collective Dynamics patent rights will extend to AuthenticID's recently announced "Smart Identity" platform and token sale that aims to transform identity-related blockchain applications.

Manchester, NH -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/12/2017 -- Blair Cohen, the Chief Evangelist for AuthenticID, the leader in "first mile" automated Identity authentication and management, participated as a keynote speaker at the 9th annual eID Conference in Bogota, Columbia on October 10-11, 2017.

Over 250 government delegates together with the brightest minds in the industry from over 30 countries, came together to discuss the foundation and evolution of a global eID infrastructure, based on the digitalization of citizen ID documents. To date, five countries have introduced eID (Electronic ID) programs for travel - including Estonia, Israel, New Zealand, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

While there are global standards organizations like the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a UN specialized agency, to manage the administration and governance of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, so far the initial countries that have rolled out eID programs are all based upon different non-interoperable standards.

"Our Smart Identity next generation technology platform for authenticating identities also provides an easy solution for creating interoperability for the multiple new eID standards that are coming into the market," says Blair Cohen, adding "our platform currently already supports interoperability for authenticating identities from 192 countries from anywhere in the world. This means that someone from Estonia can use their eID to authenticate their identity anywhere outside of Estonia."

As part of AuthenticID's new blockchain-enabled Smart Identity platform, AuthenticID has already announced its plans to develop interoperable standards for authenticating identities throughout the world, and views its participation in the eID Conference as an important step in supporting interoperability for the eID movement as well.

AuthenticID is also planning an upcoming token sale starting October 31, 2017. For more information about that visit http://tokens.authenticid.co.

Manchester, NH -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/22/2017 -- A key portfolio of payment-authentication patents has been licensed by AuthenticID for the exclusive use with its identity validation payments platform.

The patent license affords AuthenticID with a significant intellectual property advantage and provides added value to customers in a rapidly evolving payment-processing environment which is fraught with increasing fraud and false declines. The Collective Dynamics patents with priority dates reaching back nearly decade are applicable to any mobile authenticated payment transaction irrespective of venue or account type including mobile-initiated, tokenized transactions.

"The Collective Dynamics payment-authentication patent portfolio complements AuthenticID's proprietary "smart" mobile capture, multi-factor biometric identifiers," said Dr. R. Bruce Reeves, Chairman of AuthenticID. "These payment-authentication patents integrated with our AuthenticID CatfishAIR identity platform will bolster our deployments into the financial services, payment-processing segments" said AuthenticID's Founder and President, Blair Cohen. Cohen added that "the timing of this integration dovetails perfectly with the payment industry's forthcoming adoption of the EMV® 3-D Secure 2.0 protocol which specifies a rules-based framework intertwined with consent-based transaction approval."

"CNP fraud and false declines are the Achilles heels of the expanding eCommerce marketplace where the weakest link is often the know-your-customer process." said Collective Dynamic's Founder and CEO Steve Bacastow. "Mobile cardholder authentication provides a needed counter measure for online merchants when implemented within a desirable, user-experience and without adding unnecessary friction to the checkout process," added Collective Dynamic's Executive, Tony Emrick.

These Collective Dynamics patent rights will extend to AuthenticID's recently announced "Smart Identity" platform and token sale that aims to transform identity-related blockchain applications.
