First seen at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, ARTA’s NSX Legavelo body kit is limited to only five units worldwide. And as with all things related to tuning an exotic hybrid supercar, it won’t come cheap. … Continue reading

The rock icon tells Spotify to remove his music: “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”

The “Late Show” host discovered that some details were disturbing, but also totally believable.

Samsung has revealed what it calls the “industry’s first” all-in-one fingerprint security chip (IC) for payment cards. The S3B512C chip reads biometric information via a fingerprint sensor, stores and authenticates data with a tamper-proof secure element (SE) and analyzes it with a secure processor. While primarily designed for payment cards, it could also be used for “student or employee identification, membership or building access,” the company said.

Mainly, though, the new chip could make it easier for banks and others to make biometric payment cards. The solution performs in line with Mastercard’s latest security specifications for payment cards, while also conforming to international security standards (CC EAL 6+) for “protecting high-value assets against significant risks,” according to Samsung.

Last year, Samsung announced that it was collaborating with Mastercard on a biometric scanning payment card with a built-in fingerprint reader. It said at the time that the tech would “adopt a new security chipset from Samsung’s LSI business” rather than using Mastercard’s tech, so the new S3B512C chipset appears to be what it was referring to.

The chip could also allow for “faster and safer interactions when making purchases,” Samsung notes. It removes the need for a PIN code and even uses anti-spoofing technology to block fraudulent methods like artificial fingerprints. 

It seems absurd that in 2022, people are still swiping cards and signing for purchases. Given Samsung’s manufacturing chops and influence, however, the chip has the potential to make biometric payment cards more mainstream. Samsung didn’t mention any launch customers or other details.

The new tech is based off IEEE 802.11be, which is expected to be rebranded WiFi 7 closer to release. Based on the new showcase that MediaTek has shared, WiFi 7 should give us a wireless connection capable of emitting the same possible speeds … Continue reading
