Usually the fact that someone asks for your ID and compares it to the name and your signature on your card.]]>Mar 16th 2010 4:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/
I have not yet needed to show ID when making a purchase online, and also with the type of swipe machines they have in most stores, the teller/cashier never looks at let alone validates your card, you swipe and sign the receipt]]>Mar 16th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/
I have, "idk, my bff jill?" written on the back of my card, yet have never been asked for ID. I've even had tellers glance at it, but too quick to catch that it wasn't actually a name.

They don't even question the drawings I make on the signature touch screen either, even one where I spent a minute and a half making a portrait of the teller herself. I even went so far as to tell her to pose for me. Not one question.

it's more that cellphones became ubiquitous japan far earlier than the US because it suits their lifestyle better. many people in japan use a cellphone as their computing device]]>Mar 16th 2010 2:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/That was the only that made me regret buying the iPhone over a phone with that function; But I got over it, lol.]]>Mar 16th 2010 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/Yes, the problem is how to deploy the entire system, not how to build each sophisticated device. In Japan "cellphone" meant SIM-locked featurephone with $300+ cashbacks from operator so anyone's got the hardware want or not, and JR(trains are more used than cars in Japan) spread NFC-ready gates and terminals all around major cities.

From wiki: The digital rights management scheme embedded in the SD cards is defined as the Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) by the 4C Entity and is centered around use of the Cryptomeria cipher (also known as C2). The specification is kept secret and is accessible only to licensees. This DRM has not been seen "in the wild" and few, if any, devices appear to provide support for it. DVD-Audio uses a very similar scheme known as Content Protection for Prerecorded Media (CPPM).]]>Mar 16th 2010 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/Most likely though, it's cheaper and easier for Google to create their own app DRM scheme than to be the first in the industry to use that feature.]]>Mar 16th 2010 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/
What I was complaining about is the same DRM technology not being used to lock down a simple android app but it's more than safe enough for our credit cards?

Well wouldn't the card be linked to your account, just put the account on suspension once you find out that your phone is stolen... if the thief is feeling lucky and tries to use it it will come up stolen and the authorities will be reported. ]]>Mar 16th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/Mar 16th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/Mar 16th 2010 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/

- It's unlikely that all your cards will be integrated
- If you have a kid, and all your payment devices are integrated, chances are, your kid has one in his phone as well - just use mobile banking to put money on kid's account? -) ]]>Mar 16th 2010 4:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/Mar 16th 2010 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/
I live in South Korea and people have been doing this to make normal payments and paying for tickets in public transport systems like subways for just over a decade now. It's very convenient and easy to use. ]]>Mar 16th 2010 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/first-data-and-tyfone-announce-partnership-for-nfc-payments-by-m/
Thats why you keep your cell phone in a protective case with rfid blocking.

But then it might block cell and wifi signals....ENGINEERS get to work.
