Natural Security Testing Biometric Payment Auchan And Leroy Merlin

Pay for purchases with credit card without having to remember a password but just putting his finger on a terminal recognition is possible since Tuesday in Villeneuve d'Ascq (North) and Angoulême (Charente) in two malls Auchan, Leroy Merlin and traders involved. This new test service for six months with Accor card holders based on an innovative technology developed by the company Lille Natural Security. According to proponents of this technology, there is no risk that customers find their fingerprint or the shape of their venous system stored in centralized databases. Biometric data of each customer are recorded only in the effect of its own smart card. Upon payment, they are compared to those identified by the terminal when the person puts his finger. This recognition is performed remotely via radio waves traveling between a radio frequency tag present on the terminal and one incorporated in the smart card. "Because it ensures full respect of privacy as recommended by the CNIL (National Commission for Informatics and Liberties), our solution raises barriers to the diffusion of biometrics," Cedric advance Hozanne, CEO Natural Security. This first series of tests with fingerprint recognition to Angoulême and venous network in Villeneuve d'Ascq is conducting a voluntary thousand customers on both sites. At first, she only concern cardholders Accor. In November, other banks will be involved in order to test the interoperability of the system.
