So, the smartest thing that can come out of this is a published open standard to allow access and innovation. You know kind of like how we got SMTP, HTTP, etc.

- amluto 10y agoAll of the above is already done for all practical purposes. The banks presumably want to have an app do card emulation with a given AID. The protocols are ISO standards and they're trivial. Android has allowed this since 5.0 IIRC. Presumably Apple doesn't want to lose their cut. I don't see why allowing card emulation is a problem in and of itself for security, though. The security problem I do see, though, is that third parties will have a hard time using the secure element to protect their keys. Of course, Apple could help them, but it obviously doesn't want to.
