SmartMetric Develops Biometric Chip Credit Cards Using Your Fingerprint to Turn on Your Credit Card -- You Are the New Biometric Security Key
Marketwired - Thu Dec 18, 9:25AM CST
SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) After over ten years of research and development, SmartMetric has developed a biometric fingerprint reader powered by a rechargeable battery so small that it sits inside a credit or debit card. Now a person's own fingerprint becomes the ultimate key in activating the user's card rather than relying on numbers and tokens that travel across networks that can be easily hacked or intercepted. The card security, using biometric electronics developed by SmartMetric, is based on the user validation taking place on the card with no biometric information leaving the card and travelling across networks. This is a far safer and more secure methodology ensuring a much greater level of security for consumers and banks alike said today, the company President & CEO Chaya Hendrick.

SmartMetric Says EMV Chip Cards Are Not the Secure Fortress Against Credit Card Fraud as Many Believe
Marketwired - Mon Nov 03, 10:10AM CST
SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) -- The new to the USA credit card standard called EMV is not the impenetrable security fortress that many have been lead to believe. With banks and retailers spending huge sums in conversion of systems and readers over to the new chip card technology called EMV chip cards cracks in the defences of EMV as a secure system are already being seen. Recently many of the credit card numbers that had been stolen in the recent Home Depot credit card heist have been used over the EMV payment network in Brazil causing yet again losses for US banks. This Brazil penetrative of EMV security is not the first time EMV technology has been shown to be vulnerable. Canada who has switched over to EMV chip cards still had EMV Card information stolen in the Canadian branches of Home Depot.
