electronic payments — and —emerging technologies peter honeymancenter for information technology integration
problem statement • risk management • elevate trustworthiness of electronic payments to “card present” status • simple, practical, inexpensive
emerging technologies • computing: moore’s law dictating faster and smaller computers at a constant price • smartcards are the ultimate mobile computer • communications • ubiquitous internet • wireless data communications • biometric identification
smartcards • tamper resistant • secure key storage and management • “personal cryptography assistant”
how can smartcards be applied? • secure identification • trust platform • to do: solve the infrastructure problem
what is this? • • a mobile phone? NO! • portable, disposable smartcard reader • solves the infrastructure problem
emerging communications technologies • gsm • europe now, n. america coming on line • europe: gprs, umts • japan: i-mode • cdpd • n. america now, will fade from the scene • n.a. telecoms don’t “get it” • wap • and other futile efforts to occupy this space
the convergence • pda + mobile phone + bluetooth + smartcard • offers opportunity for secure, authenticated payments
biometrics • goal: personal identification • fingerprint • faceprint • retina or iris scan • voice recognition • questionable technical foundation to date • secrecy abounds
biometrics? • revocation is difficult • fingerprints and other durable identifiers • spoofing is easy • fingerprint • voice recognition • compare to present biometric identification • signature on paper • demeanor of customer
multi-factor identification • combination of methods • secure crypto platform • biometrics, possibly more than one • can this offer risk management comparable to “card present” transaction? • maybe • “data collection yields to pattern recognition” -- m. mcluhan
promoting (and preventing) competition • the wap re-intermediators • wap must die • internet protocol will be the instrument of its death! • open systems • has huge advantages in risk management • gsm protocols • french bank card • aes (des replacement)
next steps • explosive growth in internet deployment application space will continue unabated • it will continue to accelerate! • this provides fertile ground for innovation, development, and deployment • Subject: MAKE MONEY FAST • €omputing + €ommuni€ation$
