In parallel, more sophisticated attacks have been developed that attempt to undermine security chip functionality and steal this information.
ENGADGET: NXP's silicon fingerprinting promises to annoy the heck out of ID hackers
Some NFC readers can generate enough power in your phone to power up the security chip, which may be at least enough to get you home.
Coupled with a security chip to encrypt data, it promises to transform a wide range of consumer experiences from simple ticketing to the Holy Grail of replacing your cash and payment cards with just your smartphone.
By integrating Intrinsic ID's PUF technology into its secure microcontroller SmartMX2, NXP significantly enhances the chip's security architecture and strengthens applications such as NFC-enabled mobile payment, electronic ticketing, and eGovernment and cyber security services.

We are beginning to roll out these systems and the GPs for example, who are using these systems at the moment are obviously convinced that having chip and pin security full the accreditation of all their staff is an awful lot more secure than the laissez faire arrangements that exist in some places at the moment.
It seems that Visa is not too keen on the "chip 'n' signature" security that iZettle uses, even though the Swedish company says it has a lower fraud rate than for chip and pin transactions.
Some compared the combination of a chip maker and a security software company to the disjointed conglomerates of old.
Rather than having your entire chip be in the same security domain, he says, the most critical things like the management of cryptographic keys or the management of network connections or DRM systems can be isolated in separate transistors on the same chip.
The grant was made on the basis that a speech-recognition chip would have applications in homeland security.
Security concerns have led many places in Europe to accept only chip-and-pin credit cards, which causes trouble for travellers with magnetic-stripe cards.
However, the main perceived hurdle that has kept large, blue-chip companies like GM away from cloud-software is security.

Handset manufacturers are also doing their bit by enabling NFC chip-based phones for NFC-enabled transactions that provide security of personal data with proper authentication.
Missing from the often-cited standards are specific references to many technologies that the security industry has long been pushing card companies to adopt: EMV (Chip and PIN), End-to-End (E2E) encryption, tokenization and virtualization.
FORBES: Payment Card Industry Punts On Key Security Questions
Visa is paving the way to increase the security of mobile payments by quickening the migration to EMV contact and contactless chip technology in the US. The EMV technology will speed up adoption of mobile payments.
IBM's computers have authentication technology embedded on a chip installed in all its computers, said Clain Anderson, director of security solutions for personal computers at International Business Machines Corp.
Well, if so, then you must keep your brother by providing him with a guaranteed retirement (Social Security), an endless supply of medical care (Medicare, Medicaid, S-CHIP), a roof over his head (public housing), and an education for his kids (public schooling).
Any suggestion of making them a bargaining chip unsettles those in Poland and elsewhere who doubt the durability of America's security relationship with Europe.
