Recently I read an article in the newspaper about a new product incorporated in a Swiss bank where they use a security token with fingerprint check and visual data transmission interpreted by the token. Check this site if you want to know more about it and you understand German : http://www.axsionics.ch/ .
The point where many attacks will fail is the transaction combined with account information. If the Go or No Go of the transaction is controlled by the token, outside of the attackers reach, all of the known transaction attacks are useless. An attack is detected easily and the transaction won’t be conducted.
Good job. One step ahead. Now it’s the attackers turn to react to this.
