The companies’ development combines Oberthur Technologies’ NFC FlyBuy SIM card with NFC SIM Adaptor coupled with AuthenTec’s fingerprint scanner in the Motorola Atrix to allow single-gesture, biometrically secured access to mobile contactless services, such as mobile payment, mobile ID and physical access control.
Via the SIM-based NFC mobile services platform for fingerprint-enabled Android smartphones, users will be able to carry out a mobile payment by swiping a finger over AuthenTec’s smart sensor on a fingerprint-enabled phone such as Motorola’s ATRIX. Smartphone users can access a credit or debit card of their choice by associating different payment methods with different fingers. This allows them to choose a payment method, authenticate, and activate the desired payment card with a single swipe of a finger, then tap the phone on a terminal to complete the NFC transaction. The product is being presented at the on-going CARTES & IDentification 2011 conference, which takes place at Paris, between15-17 November 2011. The conference focuses on digital security and smart technologies .
