Cartes & IDentification Show
À la Cartes
This year’s event will include in-depth coverage on the security of mobile phones and M2M and radio communication technologies.
Self-service and digital signage are just two of the industries in which the integration of mobile has already proved itself a success. With 440 million devices expected to be sold in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America in 2014, smartphones are becoming the mobile phone market’s driving force. However, when they are used for payment or authentication, such as at self-checkout, they become a target for security. ABI Research predicts that in 2014, 400 million people will use their mobile phones to carry out financial transactions like transfer of funds, payment and accessing online banking services.
The arrival of new generations of SIM cards, capable of hosting several applications such as distance payment, local payment by NFC and transport, has been accompanied by new security requirements which also extend to the phone itself. Large smartcard manufacturers therefore offer secure operating environments for several mobile phone operating systems, and a large range of products and solutions (SD or micro-SD cards and stickers) to reinforce the security of applications integrated into the phone.
Further conferences will cover NFC and contactless, card security, debit and credit cards, manufacturing of cards, identification and M2M.
