[quote][i]Originally posted by Rob_Quads[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Balling[/i] In which case they're (Apple and card companies) sharing a hash of the card details, generated separately at either end, and using that for the transaction. If that's the case then the question becomes, how secure is the hashing algorithm? And how quickly can it be reversed engineered? [/quote] If the banks are involved it will very very secure having seen some of the standards they have to work to and the way some of this stuff works. Your not allowed to just do what you want, there are very strict things to have to comply to. Is it hackable - yes but then everything is but how difficult in the question. Whats out there at the moment is very hackable as shown by the recent stuff about Veriphone yet they are still common place in in the high street. I'm not sure saying that Google will come up with a more secure system is a wise move. Just look in the news today - millions of account details leaked (yes they were got by phishing attacks etc not security loop holes they think but thats no different to the recent Apple stuff) [/quote]
