How to choose the right smart card

Consider what the smart card will be used for… Some smart cards are suited to certain applications such as access, payment or transport ticketing. How much data needs to be stored on the card? Different types of smart card can hold different amounts of data; choose from memory only cards or micro-processor cards. Is the […]

What is Payment Tokenization?

Traditionally when a card or mobile payment is made, the card number passes through various points in the authorization process. This increases the risk of fraud because this data can be intercepted at multiple points. To counter this, an increasing amount of payment card issuers use a technology called tokenization. This stores the original number in […]

Will authentication evolve beyond the basics?

Writing for The Guardian, journalist Andy Meek questions if increasing cyber attacks ultimately mean the end of username and password security. “The username and password has long been the basic set of authentication credentials that grants access into computer and web-based systems and networks,” he explains.
