Looks like people who steal credit cards are going to have an even
easier job - they won't even need to take the card itself, just a quick
photo of it will do ...

Users can add credit cards to Apple Pay by taking a photo
of their card.

"Setup involves either granting Apple Pay access
to whatever existing credit card you have on
file with iTunes or adding a second card: you
can do that by taking a photo of the card
itself. We've seen the same system used in
Uber's app, among others, and generally it does
a solid job of recognizing characters."

The presentation says that you have to take it to your
bank to prove that its your card before it can be added.

where did they say that?

they did say you just take a photo of the card to add it, presumably
with some sort of validation, otherwise people could have a field day
with photoshopping card photos.

For the phone to get the details off the photo so you
don't have to type them in manually, quite a good idea.

there isn't always a bank to go to.

for instance, there isn't anywhere to go for capital one or american
express and the others may not have a local branch.

Yeah, good idea. They did also say that the card you
already have setup to do the app store purchases
with would be used by default, but that other cards
could be added that way.

Yeah, only one of mine has a physical branch
in my town and some of them don't have any
physical branches at all, anywhere.

But you can still open an account with those
using some form of proof of identity, usually
at the local post office, but sometimes entirely
online.

Yeah, that's the other reason I groaned when I heard him say that.

Presumably he didn't intend to cover all the possibilities.

You don't have to do anything like that when setting up
your iphone and that card will be used by the payments
system initially, with others able to be added.

Presumably the apple site will spell out the detail eventually.

If you go to your bank with your credit card, what is the bank to do ?
Have the bank manager take a selfie with you and send it to Apple ? Not !

The only thing I could think of is that perhaps banks have to add a flag
to your credit card to enable those types of transactions and possibly
set a purchasing limit.

(in canada a purchase above certauin amount can be done with paywave and
you have to use chip/pin.)


Quite possible that such an operation could be done over the phone.

That would kill too many phones with the average bank manager, silly.

Trouble with that line is that he did say that it would use
the card you use for your app store purchases by default
and that photo thing was only for adding extra cards.

Yeah, same system here in Australia. And when
you want to get cash from the self checkouts too.

We can do all that stuff using online banking
in fact the bank which pays the best interest
rates on savings, actively discourages you
from ringing them and says quite explicitly
on their web site that if you don't like that,
maybe they aren't the bank for you.

Maybe because they want to avoid the situation where
both the phone and the cards are stolen at the same time.

I'm pretty sure I know the portion of the event you are talking about,
and I think you misheard. As I recall, they didn't say *you* have to
*physically* go to the bank. Rather they said something to the effect of
"when you add a card, we contact the bank to verify it's really your
card". What I got out of it is that when you add a credit card, Apple
will contact the bank for that credit card, probably over a network
connection, and verify that the card you scanned is in fact your card.
The process is probably fairly quick - certainly faster than getting in
your car, or making a voice phone call to do it.

there *has* to be some sort of user verification.

simply taking a photo of a card is *not* going to work and they'll get
reamed for something so trivially hackable.

they got caught with their pants down already (literally) and they're
not going to make that mistake again.

I would imagine they do it the same way PayPal does a bank validation.
The make 2 small in and out transactions to the account, usually just a
few cents. Then you have to validate the amounts from your online
statement, either bank or credit card.

Doesn’t explain why the presentation explicitly said 'go to the

There is a decent web page on Apple Pay,

Well it is only speculation on my part until Apple tells us what the
procedure will actually be.

What I would be interested in finding out is, if the Apple Watch is
supported by all of the iPhone 5 family, and the iP6 & iP6+; will the
Apple Pay system work with the Apple Watch & and iP5S even though the
iP5S doesn't support Apple Pay?

apple pay on a 5/5s needs a watch and has some limitations.
on a 6/6+ no watch is required.

Confirming Michelle's point:

The podcast of the keynote is available now. The relevant part is from
about 48:36. I misunderstood this bit when watching it live but got it
this time.

In reference to adding a new card, Eddy Cue says:

"But it's also easy to add a new card. You use your iPhone iSight
camera. We take a picture of the card, gather all the information, go to
your bank and verify that's your card, and we add it right to Passbook."

He is describing what Apple does with the data gathered from the card.
Apple "goes" to the bank for verification that it is your card, implying
that it is a rapid and automatic process.

Apple already have the personal details (such as name and address) from
the user's Apple ID and any credit card already on file for that Apple
ID, plus an image of the new credit card from which they can get the
card number, expiry date and customer name.

As long as the personal details from the Apple ID can be verified by the
card company and/or bank as matching their records of the card holder,
it should just work without the user having to do anything more than
take the picture of the front of the card.

In situations where the personal details do not match (or the Apple ID
has minimal information), there would need to be a more complex
verification mechanism. I expect it would be sufficient to ask for the
user to enter the same data that iTunes requires when registering a
credit card, including the billing address and verification code on the
back of the card.

Apple didn't bother describing that scenario in the keynote, as it would
be rare when adding a second card, since the personal data must already
be present for the first card and would typically match for all cards
owned by the same person.

That doesn’t necessarily help them to work out whether
the new card is owned by that individual, most obviously
with kids and those who have not bothered to give Apple
any credit card.

Yes, but all that does is show that name is a rough match
SOME of the time.

That doesn’t prove that the person adding the card actually owns it.

The photo is just a quick alternative to tapping in the details on the card.
Post by David Empson
In situations where the personal details do not match
(or the Apple ID has minimal information), there would
need to be a more complex verification mechanism.
And it fact there is no verification at all with the
initial card that is supplied for the Apple ID, JUST
a check that it’s a valid card owned by someone.

So anyone wanting to scam the system can just create
a new Apple ID and loot that account using Apple Pay.

it is a valid card that hasn’t been reported as stolen etc.

and would typically match for all
cards owned by the same person.
Mine do vary considerably even with a simple
name like mine and that is my real name.

We do have some quite onerous ID requirements
when opening a new bank account etc and that
does require using other proof of identity like
a photo driver's license, passport or birth certificate
etc, but those do mostly require some presentation
of the ID documents in person.

We also require that for a new cellphone/mobile
account, and that can be done online, but one of
the IDs that is acceptable is a driver's license, but
my state does not allow anyone access to the
driver's license details from the number so there
is no way for the online system to check if the ID
supplied actually matches the name and address given.

Even the US social security number system has holes
in it you can drive a full carrier battle group thru.

Which part of the sentence starting with "We take a picture ..." do you
not understand?
Apple's web site says you can enter the info manually, or take a picture
of it.

Your explanation in previous post makes sense. Apple takes the info,
gets an authorization for minimal amount with all your personal info
(address) sent to the bank. If bank verifies, then card is added.

But they don't do it that way with the original card for the Apple ID,
so all a thief has to do is create a new Apple ID to loot a stolen card.

And they can't just require that verification process
with the initial card for all Apple IDs either, because
that would mean that kids can't have Apple IDs.

it's called address verification and done routinely and returns a
validation code.

<http://www.cybersource.com/developers/other_resources/quick_references/
avs_results/>
Address verification is performed by comparing portions of the
billing address from the request message with address data on file at
the issuing bank. Results are returned for the street address and for
the postal code.

<https://www08.wellsfargomedia.com/downloads/pdf/biz/merchant/visa_avs.p
df>
Why is the billing address such an important factor in reducing the
risk of card-not- present transactions? Because criminals using card
account numbers fraudulently usually do not know the account¹s
related billing address. If a card is stolen or lost, or if the
account number is copied from a sales receipt, a criminal could use
the account number to place fraudulent merchandise orders by
telephone or by personal computer‹typically for items that can be
³fenced² or sold for cash. Since the legitimate cardholder and card
issuer might not be aware of the situation for some time, the card
could be used repeatedly, leaving merchants vulnerable to unknowingly
accepting fraudulent transactions.

That isnt what operations like PayPal
use to verify that the card is yours.

And checking whether the thief who stole the card
knows the address doesn't do a damned thing
about whether the thief owns the card ANYWAY.

You're wrong.

Here's what he said, verbatim, at 48:40 in the recorded video:

"It's also easy to add a new card. You can use your iPhone iSight
camera. We take a picture of your card, gather all the information, go
to your bank and verify that that's your card, and we add it right to
Passbook."

And while he said this, the audience watched an animation on the demo
screen showing the iPhone iSight taking a picture of the card and the
card being added to Passbook. It was very clear that he was talking
about an automated facility that does this over the network.

If it was actually possible to verify that it is YOUR card
over the network with the bank, everyone else would
be doing it that way too, most obviously with PayPal
etc, and since they don’t, it obviously isnt possible to
do that. It isnt even possible to see what address the
bank has for you and see if that matches what you
have in the Apple ID, and even if that was possible,
obviously someone who has stolen the card can
just setup a new Apple ID and use the card owner's
address for the Apple ID and have that match.

presumably with some sort of validation,
That's where they said *you* had to go to the bank
to have the bank validate that it is your card.
(Emphasis added.)

He said "*we* go to the bank."
He said nothing of the sort, you silly little pathological liar.
It's in the quote below, fuckwit.
There is no quote below, you silly little pathological liar.

He should have said that better if he meant
it is done electronically by Apple. I just don't
believe that it is actually possible to do that
electronically by Apple with the bank, to check
that the address they have for you is the same
as the address you have put on your Apple ID.
it was in a keynote as opposed to a technical description of the
protocol, and it was clearly obvious what he meant.

nobody expects the user to go to the bank for every card they want to
add, especially when there is no bank to go to.

otherwise, why bother taking a picture? just do it all at the bank.

thus, it can't mean what you claim it means.

all the photo does is skip needing to type in the name and numbers on
the card. validation *must* still be done, and it may need to request
additional information to do so.

No, it is Apple which goes to the bank on your behalf. Expect Apple to
lobby for immigration reform ASAP. They will want to import 2 million
chinese workers who will receive card requests and then physically
travel to your bank branch to have it approved and return to Apple
offices to process the signed approval whcih will then be scanned and
attached to your iTunes account :-)

So Apple tries to for an authorization for $1.99 , specifies credit
card, name and address and if bank authorizes then the address provided
by Apple is close enough to the address the bank has. This does not mean

Looks like people who steal credit cards are going to have an even
easier job - they won't even need to take the card itself, just a quick
photo of it will do ...
Users can add credit cards to Apple Pay by taking a photo
of their card.
"Setup involves either granting Apple Pay access
to whatever existing credit card you have on
file with iTunes or adding a second card: you
can do that by taking a photo of the card
itself. We've seen the same system used in
Uber's app, among others, and generally it does
a solid job of recognizing characters."
The presentation says that you have to take it to your
bank to prove that its your card before it can be added.
No, they said that *they* contact your back and verify it's your card.

The NFC payment system in Canada is quite different.


bank issues "credit card" in form of an encrypted blob. Instead of
paying Canada Post to deliver the blob, it pays the wireless carrier.
The carrier uses its SIM card provisioning system to deliver the
encrypted blob TO THE SIM CARD where it is stored and the bank pay
modest rent for the space ised on the carrier's SIM Card. No credit
card info resides on the phone's file system. None Nada.

When a transaction is done, the payment app is given the "blob" and
sends a portion over the NFC chip. So your credit card number is sent
encripted over the NFC to the paypass and the receiving bank is then
equipped to process this as if it had been a standard credit card being
waived at the reader.

For a transaction, the carrier is not involved in any way, nor does he
transaction make use of cellular/wi-fi links to access some remote
server. So from a "profit" point of view, the transaction is processed
exactly as a credit card, with merchant losing a certain percentage liek
for a credit card etc.


The way Apple has explained it, credit card information will be stored
in "Passbook" (insecure) and likely only for convenience of customer.

When you make a transaction, the phone will have to use a data link to
talek to some Apple servers and obtain a temporary credit card number
which will be received by phone and then sent over NFC to the merchant's
terminal at which point it gets processed normally, except the
transaction lands at the "Bank of the Apple" for authorization and
processing (at which point it is associated to your real credit card).

So Apple will also likely do an authorization against your real credit
card before sending the OK to the merchant who is processing your fake
credit card,

Refunds will be most interesting since the merchant likely won't be able
to refund to the same credit card number as the purchase was made.
(and one wonders how long the temporary credit card numbers will be if
they change all the time).

In Canada, "paypass" transactions are limited to small purchases
(between $50 and $100 depending on cardholder and bank), so the same
applied to handset purchases (Blackberry and Samsungs have approved

In Canada, "paypass" transactions are limited to small purchases
(between $50 and $100 depending on cardholder and bank), so the same
applied to handset purchases (Blackberry and Samsungs have approved
models in Canada).
I think the limit here is around NZ$80 for PayWave / Tap-n-Go cards ...
BUT a thief can still make an awful lot of $80 transacations before the
card is shutdown.

Of course, if they've stolen the card, they can simply do online /
telephones orders for much bigger amounts. Some of the shops here have
started doing "Click and Collect" systems where you can buy online and
then turn up to the store to collect it already paid for.

Looks like people who steal credit cards are going to have an even
easier job - they won't even need to take the card itself, just a quick
photo of it will do ...
Users can add credit cards to Apple Pay by taking a photo
of their card.
"Setup involves either granting Apple Pay access
to whatever existing credit card you have on
file with iTunes or adding a second card: you
can do that by taking a photo of the card
itself. We've seen the same system used in
Uber's app, among others, and generally it does
a solid job of recognizing characters."
If you do that, you have to validate it with the bank that issued the
card.

You missed the validation step.

The thing I found disingenuous about the presentation was Cook talking
about the primitive magnetic stripe and not mentioning chip'd and NFC
cards that are prevalent in the rest of the world and eschewed by US
banks for so long (though now reluctantly turning to it due to date
breaches)
