Innovative Approach to Authentication
Lead inventor Dr. Oluseyi Akindeinde unveiled the groundbreaking product during a disclosure to journalists in Lagos over the weekend. The system, named “cipherCHIP tap2verify,” represents a significant evolution in product authentication, incorporating NFC tags, NFTs, and blockchain technology. Dr. Akindeinde emphasized the product’s unique contribution to security systems, highlighting its ability to employ multiple methods of authentication from distinct credential categories to verify a user’s identity.
A History of Innovation
This recent achievement follows Hyperspace Technologies Limited’s earlier success in August of this year when they secured a patent for “cipherKEY tap2sign MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).” This next-generation security system leverages the decentralized nature of blockchain, the robustness of public/private key cryptography, and the convenience of NFC technology. The combined features provide an unparalleled level of security against identity theft, phishing, and social engineering attacks.
Formal Recognition and Certification
The patent certificate for “cipherCHIP tap2verify” was officially granted on December 14, 2023, by the Industrial Property Office Registry, Commercial Law Department, Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment.
