Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE) also recently announced that it has partnered closely with Chronicled, Inc. to develop wearable sensors -- or SmartLabels -- to protect against counterfeiting of consumer goods. Chronicled eliminates knock-off sneakers from the market by tracking authenticity, ownership, and provenance of brand name shoes.
Chronicled worked with Identiv Labs to develop a solution that validates each sneaker with innovative, high-security technology including NFC, Bluetooth, and digital certificates, integrated into a tamper proof SmartLabel. Chronicled joins more than 30 existing Identiv Labs customers who have partnered to bring their products to the Internet of Things (IoT).
"As a $1 billion market, collectible sneakers are at risk for rampant counterfeiting," said Maurizio Greco, Chronicled CTO. "To combat fakes and re-instill trust and confidence, Chronicled is working with Identiv to create a 100-percent authenticated consumer platform. We plan to expand the use of authentication to other premium consumer goods, combating the more than $250 billion in counterfeit goods sold globally each year."
The solution combines Identiv's expertise in identity verification through digital certificates and purpose-built secure hardware, establishing secure objects with a trusted SmartLabel for each item. Chronicled's identity for products is paired with a consumer mobile application, allowing users to check authenticity, track products as they are resold, and understand the full item history. The Chronicled platform will be supported by an open-source registry upon which developers, partners, and third parties can build.
"Consumers no longer trust a simple printed label as a basis of authenticity, reducing trust and confidence in brand names," said Jason Hart, Identiv CEO. "SmartLabels are the next evolution -- the appearance of the product is not adversely affected as the sensor is small and can be hidden -- and consumers can be confident that what they are purchasing, wearing, and reselling is authentic. We're excited to be partnering closely with Chronicled to deliver the complete solution."
Chronicled plans to launch its authenticated consumer platform utilizing SmartLabels near the end of 2015 and is initially targeting more than 15,000 pairs of sneakers.

ImageWare Systems, Inc.
ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: IWSY) (ImageWare), a leader in mobile and cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, has issued financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, as well as a corporate update to highlight the company's progress since its last quarterly update on May 11, 2015.
Operational Highlights
Awarded patents by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and Patent Office of Australia for technology used in ImageWare's multi-modal Biometric Engine® product.
Signed agreement with OnlineAuction.com to provide ImageWare's patented GoVerifyID® mobile biometric security software to 200,000 online auction members, beginning August 2015.
Signed a three year licensing agreement with Lockheed Martin under which ImageWare will integrate its patented Biometric Engine into the Lockheed Martin cloud-based multimodal biometric IDHaystack® Identity as a Service Platform.
Management Commentary
"ImageWare's strategy to target large IT service providers and deliver security for their cloud and mobile customers remains on track," said Jim Miller, ImageWare's chairman and CEO. "Ultimately our model is dependent upon our partners, and we have formed very significant relationships with Fujitsu, TransUnion, CA Technologies, IBM, Deutsche Telekom, Agility, Extenua, and more recently, with Lockheed Martin and Online Auction. All of these partners have now moved from the testing to integration phase and some are even moving to the launch of aggressive marketing campaigns.
"These companies see and live in the same world as we do -- a world that saw 50% of all organizations experience some form of data breach in the last 12 months, with two-thirds of those breaches involving the compromise of pins and passwords. So we have the right products in the right place at precisely the right time. We believe that we are now at the start of large consumer adoption and that our technology will be front and center as that rollout commences."

McAfee
Mr. Raj Samani, McAfee, EMEA CTO, told us, "If I utter the words cyber, what is the term that springs to mind? In most cases they will be negative, such as crime, espionage, war, etc. However the reality is that this is only one side of the coin, and one term that is often forgotten is opportunity. Technology has transformed every industry, every person, every section of society. We have to recognize this and maximize the opportunities for the benefit of each of us, but do so in a way that reduces the risk to a level we are all comfortable with."

INFOGRAPHIC: THE FIDO ECOSYSTEM
Author: Todd Thiemann
In our many conversations with organizations requiring strong authentication for mobile apps and across the mobile device ecosystem, we're often asked about the possibilities of FIDO. Yes, it starts with standards, but what are the actual use cases? Will there be a demand within specific vertical industries based on the security, privacy, compliance and usability challenges those industries face with authenticating consumers or employees today? We believe the answer to that question is a resounding "yes."
So we decided to create this infographic to show FIDO's versatility and usability in five key industries -- while re-stating what we mean when we say "Any Device. Any Application. Any Authenticator." We've certainly seen strong interest in the payment sector with our public deployments like AliPay and PayPal. We're also seeing strong interest for other use cases as well -- eHealth, Cloud Services, Online Commerce and Government services. The latter was recently in the spotlight with NSTIC/NIST and the United Kingdom Cabinet Office recently joining the FIDO Alliance.
We hope this infographic helps illuminate the FIDO value proposition for you and we look forward to hearing your feedback so we can make the next one even better!

Tyco Integrated Security
Mr. Mark VanDover, President, Tyco Integrated Security, told us, "In the last six months, we've seen security technology changing the way businesses operate across multiple industries. For example, expanded use of RFID-enabled technologies is helping retailers identify and combat operational loss, deepen the customer experience and improve omni-channel operations. Additionally, in heavily regulated industries like food manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, we've seen physical security play a bigger role in ensuring standard compliance. On another level, since entering the small business market last fall, we've seen firsthand how affordable commercial-grade security solutions can make a difference for small business owners' bottom line."
