Identillect and QubeChain engage in a Joint Venture to Develop and Distribute a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) System with Blockchain Infrastructure

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 18, 2017 -- Identillect Technologies Corp. (the "Company" or "Identillect") (TSX-V:ID) (OTCQB:IDTLF) (Frankfurt:8ID), a leading provider of email security today, announced a joint project with QubeChain to provide Multi-Factor Authentication (“MFA”) with their Self-Sovereign ID (“SSI”) platform, an enhanced level of security for organizations at higher risk or with advanced security demands. 

The utilization of weak passwords can render the most robust security system ineffective. The more sophisticated the password the more secure the system will be. According to a recent security intelligence article, “In 2016 10 million passwords were analyzed, over 5 million of those passwords were made up of the same 25 recurring words providing little confidence on password integrity.” The lack of originality with passwords is adversely affecting security. Of the passwords analyzed 17% of these passwords were “123456”.

Rees Morgan, CEO of QubeChain stated, “We are excited to partner with Identillect in this multi-factor authentication project, continually achieving more advanced security protocols and providing superior products to bring to market.  Combining a blockchain infrastructure with MFA advances the security and integrity of the information.”

Identillect’s CEO Todd Sexton was quoted, “Identillect and QubeChain are achieving new levels of innovation in our product line. We are advancing security protocols while maintaining Identillect’s core belief that security should be simple. We’re excited about the prosperity of the relationship between QubeChain and Identillect and look forward to the development of additional projects to come.”

Identillect’s continuous development with the goal of protecting our clientele’s data and information should lead to continuous growth in 2018. At the recent “Black Hat Conference”, an event held yearly for hackers, 250 hackers were surveyed, and they claimed their biggest obstacles were Multi-Factor Authentication and encryption. In an article by Risk Control Strategies the growth rate for MFA is said to see an annual growth rate of nearly 19% by the year 2022.
