Biometric Cards, Smart Cars, Touch ID, and More in This Week’s Top Stories Roundup

It was another rich and varied week in Mobile ID World’s coverage of the latest news in mobile security and connectivity, and the site’s five most popular articles reflect that.

Biometric payment card news is always a good place to start. Zwipe announced at the end of September that it had received its first order for its second-generation biometric inlay solution for smart cards, and readers showed a high level of interest in this story over the following days:

Pivoting over to mobile authentication, the Mobile Authentication Taskforce – a consortium comprising AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon – made headlines with its announcement of a new passwordless login solution called ZenKey. It hasn’t been launched yet, but the Mobile Authentication Taskforce is inviting developers to start working on integrating it into their own apps and services:

Mobile ID World readers also proved interested in the news that NEC Asia Pacific had partnered with a US-based network security company to leverage its TAC Identity Device solution. This can help to authenticate devices connected to NEC’s NeoFace biometric surveillance platform, shoring up the defences of smart city security systems:
