That's still not really "more secure" than EMV, which includes active security measures like PIN validation capabilities, various active anti-fraud measures like offline velocity checks, transaction amounts encoded in cryptographic tokens, and which can in theory be remotely disabled etc.
I guess it makes it "more /just as able to be authenticated as a genuine card" though.
- jgalt212 6y agoYes, I hear you. It would then come down to what's easier to do correctly, authenticate an EMV transaction or read and validate the fingerprint of a card's mag stripe. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think anyone has been able to replicate a mag stripe's fingerprint on another card's mag stripe. However, this security measure has probably seen a few orders of magnitude less adversaries than EMV and RFID have.
