WISeKey Unveils the Trusted IoT Bottle Using Digitally Signed Anti-refill Caps That Can Be Authenticated via Smartphones
WISeKey,
a cyber security company, today announced the launch of the Trusted
IoT Bottle® technology as an evolution of the WISeAuthentic solution
that WISeKey has deployed with leading luxury brands, with over 1
million watches already digitally tagged and for which WISeKey has
obtained a US patent. The patent is available at http://goo.gl/ozgOQm.
The Trusted IoT Bottle® strengthens the WISeKey cybertrust technology
within NFC - Digital Signed Anti-refill Caps acting as connected IoT
devices. The Trusted IoT Bottle® enhances consumer protection and
provides technology that can detect both the sealed and opened state of
each bottle. The Trusted IoT Bottle® caps are connected via NFC to a
WISeKey WISfans App that allows the brand to communicate real time with
the consumer via a secure communication option included in the app.
Consumers using the app also benefit from additional services provided
directly from the brand; services designed to create a fans' social
ecosystem allowing customers to interact together. This new technology
integrates the services provided by WISeKey to many luxury brands
including the WISeKey Bulgari
first ever intelligent watch using NFCTrusted® technolgy (video

The Trusted IoT Bottle® is part of WISeKey's strategy to embed digital
certificates based on WISeKey's Public Key Infrastructure and OISTE's Global
Rootkey into NFC
Trusted® tags, enabling consumers to interact securely with nearly
any IoT object or transaction in a trusted manner. The technology's main
focus is to fight counterfeiting which according to the World Customs
Organization, accounts for 7% of the total world trade, which accounts
for approximately $1 trillion annually. A demo video on the Trusted IoT
Bottle is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Z4cLAfN4Q&feature=youtu.be&a
NFCTrusted® authentication tags incorporate a WISeKey cryptographically
secure digital certificate to prove authenticity. NFC Trusted Tags can
be embedded in virtually any product, piece of equipment or common
household item, and users can verify authenticity with an NFC-enabled
smart phone, watch, connected device or mobile device. This technology
not only optimizes security and convenience, but also eliminates the
need for special readers or other equipment for tag (News - Alert) authentication and
enables new use cases using proof of presence. "The combination of trust
and convenience opens the door for the use of NFCTrusted® tags in
diverse markets to support a variety of Internet of Things
applications," said Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey.
