Fingerprints, Apple Pay and Identity Theft
PRWeb - Thu Sep 18, 4:03AM CDT
On Sep 9th, 2014, Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, unveiled Apple Pay, along with the new iPhone 6 and iWatch. Apple Pay is a newly developed technology that utilizes a near field communication (NFC) to enable customer payments at the point of sale machine with fingerprint authentication. Credit card information such as card number, expiration date, and CVV number are stored securely in the iPhone and are transmitted directly to Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. As Tim Cook demonstrated, holding an iPhone 6 near the contactless reader with one finger on the Touch ID is all customers need to complete a transaction. Although "Secure" is the word Tim Cook repeatedly emphasized in the announcement, some industry experts are skeptical and critical of the security underlying the system.
