Pay by Touch

Coming to a laptop near you soon, is a new payment system from Pay By Touch. It uses a biometric sensor, much like the ones you see on a Lenovo business laptop but instead of just using it for access to your operating system, it allows you to pay for things like wireless internet connections and whatnot without having to send any other data.

“The incessant news of data thefts, spyware and other information security threats undermine online trust, leaving too many people rightfully wary about the safety of their personal information,” said Chris Shipley, executive producer of DEMO 2006. “By offering consumers the security and convenience of finger scan authentication on laptops and PCs, Pay By Touch Online will rebuild consumers’ confidence in the safety of online transactions and accelerate e-business overall.”

“As crimeware is becoming more pervasive, consumer protection must take advantage of innovative technologies to maintain security online without taking away convenience,” said Jon Siegal, executive vice president of Pay By Touch Online. “Pay By Touch Online uses innovative technologies such as finger identification, encryption and secure data centers to provide the necessary multiple layers of authentication and security that haven’t existed until now in one service — making it the safest and most convenient way to log-in and pay.”
