Card-not-present transaction to cost Retailers over 100 Billion

Over the last couple of decades, the use of credit cards is increasing rapidly and consequences lead to the online transaction through e-commerce. Transactions through credit cards are done in two ways; using the cards in POS or using the card information in online payment gateways.

The credit card fraudulent activities may conduct in both ways; card present fraud and card not present fraud. Usually, the loss of card present fraud bear by the card issuer and on the other hand the loss of card-not-present fraud goes to the merchants.

In both cases, there are significant security measures taken by the card issuers and also the payment gateways, but the fraudsters are continuously making their way out of those. Whenever the e-commerce is growing rapidly, as a result, the rate of a card-not-present transaction is rising several times and the fraudulent activities are occurring through online phishing. Recently a Research published the report that within 2018 to 2023 the retailers are going to lose almost around 130 Billion dollars due to card-not-present transactions. The assumption is really alarming whereas the impact will lead so many retailers to the winding up. Read the full post from here.

Finger Vein Biometrics Identification for Membership Management Software

An article published today in the University of Vermont’s campus newspaper The Vermont Cynic reported that the campus recreation center has adopted M2SYS finger vein technology for student member identification. Tim Lewis, associate director for campus recreation made the decision to use finger vein biometrics for member identification after brainstorming ideas on how to eliminate students carrying ID cards. Happy to see our finger vein biometric identification system used at the University of Vermont through a partnership we have with Vermont Systems, a recreation and parks software provider based in Essex Junction, VT. Modern-day membership management software is designed to help create efficiencies that antiquated methods simply can’t provide. In an effort to eliminate ID cards, prevent identity fraud, and create a more convenient user experience, many membership management facilities are evaluating vascular biometrics (finger vein) for identification because of the distinct ...

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning: The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...

False Rejection Rate – What Does It Mean And Why Should I Care?

False reject rate is a statistic used to measure biometric performance when operating in the verification task and it usually calculated as the percentage of times the system produces a false reject. A false reject occurs when an individual is not matched to their own existing biometric template. For example: John claims to be John, but the system incorrectly denies the verification. This can be particularly frustrating for an end user who knows that they are enrolled in the system and should be recognized and verified, but for some reason the system is incorrectly rejecting their scan. This can cause unnecessary logjams, affect service, frustrate staff and negatively impact productivity.
