Nanoparticle Paint Enables Fraud-Proof Credit Cards

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Light could soon build a brick wall between credit cards and hackers, as a fraud-proof authentication technique can keep credit cards and the identities associated with them secure. The technique — quantum-secure authentication (QSA), developed by a team from the University of Twente — has experimentally been shown to confirm the identity of any person or object, including debit and credit cards, even if essential information has been stolen. Using light, the researchers created a secure question-and-answer authentication exchange that cannot be copied. The quantum...Read full article
