Episode 55 – 3D Secure and the IoT – CardinalCommerce
The Internet of Things may be a hot topic but its security isn't hot at all. Up until recently, IoT device manufacturers and buyers haven't cared much about security, a disinterest that's led to over one hundred thousand surveillance cameras being hijacked by Mirai botnet malware. While cameras aren't making or accepting payments (yet) it's easy to imagine automobiles paying for tolls and fuel directly. If it's not my Roku box, maybe it's Alexa or Google Home that makes payments on my behalf over the IoT. The payments industry is working to get out in front of this potential trouble.
Episode 54 – Securing IoT Payments – Gemalto
The Internet of Things (IoT) will bring us a tsunami of network-enabled devices, for consumer use as well as yet to be imagined industrial and commercial applications. Many of these devices will be payment enabled, many using card payment rails. Securing those billions of IoT devices is going to require techniques deployed by the mobile industry, the card industry, and other sectors. Cryptographic hardware will be part of the solution.
Episode 53 – India’s Payments Innovation Scene – Glenbrook’s Allen Weinberg
Bringing electronic payment capability to small merchants is a major hurdle for multiple developing economies. In this Payments on Fire podcast with Glenbrook co-founder Allen Weinberg and George Peabody, we discuss merchant enablement in markets reliant on 2G wireless and feature phones. We take a deeper look at India's payment evolution in particular. Allen's observations come from his recent work in India and the insights into payment system success factors he's developed. Take a listen!
Episode 52 – Innovation for the Underserved – FinLab
Bringing payments and financial services to those of us with a tenuous connection to the banking system is the goal of the Center for Financial Services Innovation. FinLab, a joint effort by the CFSI and JPMorgan Chase, is a five year effort, now in its third year, that's using a competition for funding and business support to broaden American financial services options.
Episode 51 – Unravelling the Payments Data Hairball
Payments transactions generate plenty of useful data for merchants. But wrangling that data into informative shape gets challenging, especially when multiple acquirers, gateways, processors, or other service providers are used. Each one has a different approach to reporting and some are (much) better than others. Developing a consolidated view and, as important, reconciling financials from different sources is a time consuming task for staff who need timely data on multiple concerns.
Episode 50 – Internet identity, privacy, and a blockchain – SecureKey
The term identity gets used a lot whenever internet payments and security are discussed. Knowing who we transact with is still the knotty problem. Strong authentication is required. Identity verification is required, too. A means of sharing the fruits of that work among the parties involved, especially those taking on risk, could save everyone a lot of cost and effort. That's the notion behind federated identity and other means of securely sharing identity attributes without undermining privacy.
