Cracking the code to a profoundly-changing sector through 100 conferences

The technological strides made over the past few years have reshaped the payment landscape. The arrival of new and influential players on the market, including Apple Pay, has paved the way for a massive uptake of mobile payment. With connected or "wearable" objects mushrooming and, more broadly, the advent of new information sharing media (NFC, LTE, Cloud, etc.), new security and trust needs have come into being, and biometrics appear a well-suited and sound response for authentication and identification. In the face of these new usages, identity securisation will become a primordial issue for citizens, enterprises and governments.
