(Boursier.com) – NFC and fingerprint recognition are democratizing only on laptops and MasterCard already wants more! Its research and development entity worked on a system of payment by facial recognition. In other words, the specialist provides payment cards to authenticate the purchases of its cardholders with ‘selfie’.
In test in autumn
At fall, the US group will test, with 500 users, the biometric identification system for online payments. Its principle is basic … The MasterCard payment card holders simply have to take pictures via its application to validate their purchases. If the tests are successful this new tool, MasterCard could then expand its commercial target.
How secure payment?
The group has not detailed the security principles of this mode of payment. For example, what is the reliability of the system in the presence of identical twins? MasterCard simply states that exploited biometric data are not retained in their original form. Initially, payment by facial recognition may be coupled to the reading of the fingerprint or voice authentication.
