GENEVA / New York – November 23, 2021: WISeKey
International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a
leading global cybersecurity, AI, Blockchain, and IoT company,
today announced that it has signed a cooperation agreement with
Luminaries21.com and OISTE.ORG Foundation, to develop high-end
nonfungible tokens (NFTs) specifically designed for world leaders,
celebrities and influencers with very large ecosystems. The NFTs
will be combined with specific social causes in order to develop
and fund concrete solutions targeting the United Nations global
sustainable goals, among others.
NFT projects on the pipeline in cooperation with Luminaries 21
include several activities in cooperation with leading humanitarian
agencies.
Luminaries 21
will work together with WISekey and
OISTE.ORG foundation, to encourage NFT
humanitarian specific causes. The OISTE Foundation
supports many global organizations that focus on human
rights and sustainable development projects, and so does
Luminaries 21.
In the words of Alberto Diez, president and founder of
Luminaries 21, “NFTs are one of the 20 lines of
additional income to increase the profitability of our clients, and
WISeKey is the ideal partner, not only because of its advanced
leading technology, but also for the added value that represents
being in the hands of world leaders in cybersecurity and artificial
intelligence."
Specifically, the OISTE Foundation:
- Was amongst the
first civil society organizations that subscribed and endorsed
the International Principles on the Application of Human
Rights to Communications Surveillance back in 2013.
- It
follows closely the work of the UN Special Rapporteur on
the Human Right to Privacy and organizes a panel as a
side-event of the Human Rights Council, the objective of
which is to create awareness and educate human rights
activists on the relevance of this emerging topic.
- Supports the
initiative of the Geneva Office of the United
Nations, Perception Change project, a collective effort to
show the relevance and impact of the work of Geneva-based
International Organizations, and the UN High-level Panel on Digital
Cooperation and the analysis and recommendations contained in the
report: “The Age of Digital Interdependence.”
- Endorses the
“Principles on identification for sustainable development: Toward
the Digital Age“ and aligns its practices with these
principles.
- Adheres to the
Universal Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence proposed by The
Public
Voice: https://thepublicvoice.org/ai-universal-guidelines.
The WISe.ART NFT marketplace platform is secured
by WISeKey’s various security technologies enabling the
authentication of digital identity based NFTs, physical objects as
well as digital assets, in a safe end-to-end process. The user is
in full control of its WISeID NFT and other NFTs need to
request access to its identity information so WISeID NFTs
users can decide by themselves what level of information they wish
to share, thus keeping full control. The WISeKey approach to the
Metaverse has as objective to provide safe infrastructure identity
services based on blockchain technologies for a wide range of
users, including individuals, corporations and government
institutions. As our digital lives become increasingly digitalized,
Metaverse will leverage the advantages of the internet to establish
a virtual world for its users. Businesses and communities will
depend on users’ digital identities to manage assets.
