What is Rivetz: Upcoming Catalysts:

Rivetz aims to deliver provable cyber-controls for you to use “We have paperwork on several things and Alex just needs to get

in place. Rivetz does this in 2 easy steps:
Exchange listing dec end/early january
• Register Your Device; The Rivetz app will take a snapshot
of your devices health and store it on our distributed “We are working with multiple exchanges to both list and also
network.Verify Your Device; The Rivetz app will verify — more importantly — use the Rivetz security models. “
your phone’s identity and health status by comparing your
phone current health snapshot to the one we have on file,
on a schedule you set up! This way you’re in charge of your
security level!
• Transactional Attestation & Proof; Rivetz has an
infrastructure that will record the details of all riveted
transactions. Each transaction will have proof that the
device that authorized the transaction was in compliance
with the requirements you set.
Green Flags:
• Trustonic, their partner, has already been deployed by
manufacturers on 1 billion devices over the last 4 years, so
there should be an installed base in the 500-700 Million units.
Samsung, HTC, LG, Xiaomi, Miezu, ZTE, SONY, Kyocera,
already deliver devices that will run the Rivetz trusted
app. Currently TEE is in the hardware of Apple devices and
they use it for secure Enclave and Biometrics. They have not
opened the platform for any third-party development yet. We
will work with Apple as they open their platform.Today we will
launch on Android with ARM and we will port our solution to
the Intel TEE called SGX.
• “Rivetz has done various projects with DHS and other US
3-letters. The naysayers are largely just people that bought in
expecting us to be like every other token that trades - which is
not at all what we are. As a utility token, it is meant to be used
with our products and services, which we are getting very
close to launching. Naturally, tokens will go up as our products
launch, mature, and are used on the market” - https://www.

• Speculation on the departments with 3 letters who may want
to work with RVT;
-- CIA, FBI, NSA, DEA, NIH, DOD, NRO,
• Identity Verification & Validation for Mobile Networks
Authentication Enhancement services for the DHS is being
provided by Rivetz
• Rivetz provides base services for the ecosystem: from 2fa and
u2f (universal two-factor authentication) apps, to encryption
and wallets (for a small fee). Exchanges are resellers of utility
tokens in our ecosystem, and it is critical that the utility model
meets the regulatory requirements of the United States. We
are working to be a very strong example of how a utility token
should be deployed and distributed.
• Rivetz recently joined the Trusted IoT Alliance to collaborate
with Fortune 500 companies on blockchain agnostic IoT
solutions & security. “Their Trusted Execution Environment
technology has deep potential to link smart contracts with
the physical world” - Zaki Manian, Executive Director of the
Trusted IoT Alliance
Token Utility & Value:
• Tokens are expected to be exchanged for cybercontrol
services. Some services will be built by Rivetz and others will
be built by partners; the API’s will be published for anyone to
explore. Their purpose is to both operate and monetize the
system and verify device & chain integrity.
• Tokens will be used to register reference health measurements.
• Tokens will be used to verify the integrity of the device with
the cybersecurity controller.
• Tokens will be consumed to provide a machine multisig.
• Rivetz is working hard to ensure the tokens meet regulatory
requirements in USA for Utility Tokens.
For Rivetz Developers:
• Developers can use the Rivetz trusted app as part of their
application.
• Rivetz is building the core architectural components it believes
will be required to deliver strong, decentralized security.
