What mobile payment means for personal data security and privacy?

When we are thinking about data security and mobile payment, we must know that there is the new wave of discussion about privacy on the Internet. The mobile telephone can become the new combination of wallet and ID-papers, and when we are thinking the things that way, we must know that this makes strong identification of user easier and harder to break than ever before. The mobile telephone can get the biometric identification algorithm like fingerprints and face image from official authorities, and then this telephone can use them for verifying the telephone user's information, what it would get from the camera and fingerprint detector.


And when the user wants to take new telephone in use, this person takes the selfie and then gives the fingerprint to that telephone, and if they match with the data, what is stored in the police files, the telephone can be used as the strong ID-card, what is very safe for payments. If some wrong person takes this telephone in the hand, would it make alarm?


Of course, hackers can break this system, but same way normal credit card can be tracked. When we are thinking about the privacy of the user of this system, we must say that every shopping and other payments, where is used credit- or bank cards can be tracked to some particular person. Same way the paper money can be tracked by using serial numbers and compiling them with the bank cards, what were used in bank automatics.


Privacy is the very interesting question, and always we forget the golden rule of the data security. Never make exceptions, and if you want to keep some payments hidden, don't use Market's customer cards, where you can collect points. And ever buy any of the products, what you want to hide, from the place, where other people knows you. The persons who are looking targets for surveillance would also look for exceptions in the way of payment. If some person uses credit- or bank card all the time, the use of the cash automatic would give the tip for those persons, that this person is planned to buy something, what this person wants to hide.


And as you see, the privacy is the problematic thing, bank or credit cards are the safe way to pay because even if they were stolen, the thief would not do anything with them if they would not get the PIN-code in their hands. The big number of cash makes person easy target for robbery and thief, and this means, that even if cash is safe in the point of view of privacy, but also that makes the person exposed to physical violence.


This is one point for mobile pay and mobile id-card. And they might be real in the near future when we are talking about the situation, that we are leaving our wallets home, and use the mobile telephones in every action, what were used by cards, which were found in wallets. Technology for that advantage already exists, and the attitudes with some limitations of laws what limits to delivering official data to the mobile systems are limiting the use of the mobile telephone for every action, what was used by the ban- and ID-cards.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
