Trust Stamp announced the launch of its Tap-In Band??, a wrist-worn, tamper resistant, hypoallergenic NFC band that facilitates discrete check-in by, and communication with, participants in community based supervision programs. The Tap-In Band leverages the GPS and NFC technologies in the user's own mobile phone and allows the user to verify their well-being and location by tapping the band to the phone, gaining direct access to a personalized web portal with messaging and two-way audio visual communications. The use of the Tap-In Band augments facial biometric authentication using the phone's camera and Trust Stamp holds provisional patent #63/581,409 from the US Patent and Trademark Office covering multi-factor authentication using a tamper proof band and biometric authentication. Unlike existing ankle and wrist worn technologies, The Tap-In Band has no battery, removing perennial concerns about battery failure and the inconvenience of charging, and does not itself contain GPS tracking technology thereby reducing user anticipation regarding intrusive monitoring.

Removal of the Band results in the Band permanently notifying tampering even if competently repaired. The Tap-In Band and associated biometric processes utilize Trust Stamp's patented IT2 identity tokenization processes that allow users to biometrically authenticate without the need to store biometric images or templates.
