GENEVA, July 12, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
WISeKey is combining its unique digital identity management with Qwant social search
to develop the Social Media Security Graph as the defining paradigm for personal
information protection. Qwant search algorithms map an individual's unique Social Graph
across digital networks. When combined with WISeKey's WISeID, this technology will allow
users to have accountable digital identification to interact in social media, fully aware
of their complete digital identity footprint.
The WISeID Qwant special edition app will be released this year offering a set of
tools to provide secure and authenticated digital identification based social search.
WISeID Qwant WISfan applications will use accountable identities and social search to
distribute official branded content to a certified community of fans who choose to receive
targeted marketing.

WISeKey in order to deliver enhanced information and search capabilities in a secure
environment to millions of fans around the world"

integrating powerful European technologies to provide unique solutions. WISeKey will be
combining Qwant's unique search algorithms with WISeKey's identity semantics to further
increase the value of digital identities."
WISeKey's development promotes the growth of the social web and individual security
towards the objective of personal ownership of online profile content. Qwant promotes the
abolishment of barriers on the web. WISeID and WISfans technology is currently used to
enhance the social experience for world renowned football clubs, watch manufacturers, film
