If there are any themes in this week’s top stories for Mobile ID World, at least one of them would have to be the fight against fraud. It’s a topic that permeates the discussion of one of the most popular recent interviews we’ve had in some time, with the Chief Technical Officer of a leading biometrics specialist:

And fighting fraud is of course also the key concern of a new platform launched by Worldpay, a company that has long been focused preventing fraud in the area of payments:

Then there’s the UKey cryptocurrency wallet, the subject of another of this week’s most popular articles. It features an embedded fingerprint sensor, helping to ensure that fraudsters can’t spend a user’s Bitcoin just by getting ahold of the wallet:

And if anti-fraud was the key theme of three of this week’s top five articles, the other two have Google as their through-line, with the tech giant making advances in both the smartphone and 5G spaces, together with partners Fingerprint Cards and Qualcomm:
