TapToLogin NFC ID Authenticity

TapToLogin Beta 02 Release

What is the TapToLogin?

It is a cryptographic platform developed for recognition of the digital identity to the Internet users in Services available on the Internet, such as Social networks, e-Commerce, Banks and Airlines, through TapToLogin App, reading an electronic document issued by the official government of a country, or a NFC tag recorded from it through the platform, gives authenticity with security in each access, where the proof of access is stored in cryptographic hashes, see definition in Wikipedia http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash. All data captured are discarded.

How it works?

For this first version to access Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn, on a co-validation, just approach the back cover of your International e-Passport (in the case of Brazil is the one blue cover with a symbol that resembles a chip) to your Smartphone with embedded NFC reader, to optionally write a NFC tag, and set your PIN / PUK, which will be your access key for authentication. If want to use a tag, the default is the Mifare Classic 1K, because it is the one that offers the security needed for the operation.

When you open the app you will need to enter basic data, so that the next access, can be done directly with the approach of the document or tag, specified above, and insert your PIN.

To give you an idea, take a look at the simplified schematic of use in the screenshots below.

The result, after proof of authenticity, will be posted on your profile *. See an example in the screenshots below.

* while Google+ does not make available 100% of the interface for publication (API) in the Wall, you must press the button "share" to share the stamp of authenticity.

Our commitment is continue to developing the product to being integrated with the official documents issuers and the companies informed above, as well providing for other platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac, Windows Mobile and iOS (this last will have the same features of a PC, because, currently, there is no NFC support in iPhone), so we are looking for investors, to obtain resources to develop the next version and make an integration with ICAO - www.icao.int for a real-time analysis.
