Well if Apple Pay stored the PAN instead of creating a token it would work exactly as people expect. What they expect is that they are adding their bank card to their phone, not that they are creating a new card. Of course the PAN isn'

Actually, this is where I stopped reading because in my opinion the author gets it exactly backwards. Engineers need to build things with safety thresholds. Most devices will probably experience situations where it is accelerating at a grea

I'm a bit confused as to what you mean. Physical merchants eliminate liability for fraud and get reduced interchange fees by accepting chip. Web merchants get reduced fees by using 3D secure (and the other scheme's versions). It i

The real solution to the problem is use of an integrated circuit card, usually through EMV. If a web merchant uses 3D secure or Verified By Visa or SafeKey (from MC, Visa and AmEx respectively), the issuing bank can implement the same level

The one point consistently being missed is that many open source licenses carry a "taint" with them that causes most commercial companies to avoid them. What does it mean to propagate a program? If an employee checks out a persona
