Hyperspace Technologies Limited has secured its second patent and trademarks for cipherCHIP tap2verify, a blockchain-integrated contactless product authentication and verification system.

According to the firm, the cipherCHIP tap2verify” system presents a novel approach to product authentication by integrating near-field communication tags, non-fungible tokens, and blockchain technology.

The lead inventor of the MFA, Oluseyi Akindeinde, said in a statement that the firm was poised to enhance a security system that requires more than one method of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user’s identity.

He said the startup had in August secured a patent for cipherKEY tap2sign™ MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), a next-generation security system designed to leverage the decentralised nature of blockchain.

Akindeinde stated, “Meanwhile, the cipherCHIP tap2verify’s patent certificate from the Industrial Property Office Registry, Commercial Law Department, Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment, was granted on December 14, 2023, and signed by Stella Ozo Ezenduka, the Chief Registrar on behalf of President Bola Tinubu.”
