Traditional payment methods such as credit and debit cards offer very little protection regarding securing financial details. While cardholder information is stored on the chip embedded in these devices – or in the magnetic strip on the back – it’s not all that difficult to copy the details. When using the card at an ATM or payment terminal, users will need to enter a PIN. But what if that PIN can be digitized soon?
