A New Design Concept For Credit Cards That Minimizes Fraud And Theft





South Korea-based design team from the Korea Armed Forces Printing Publishing Depot has designed a new type of fraud-proof credit card.



The design, known as ‘Hidden Card’ is a concept where the CPU, operation system, memory area, and security algorithm are built into the integrated-circuit (IC) chip card.



IC chip is a technology that is less easy to duplicate than magnetic cards. This design takes security up to a whole new level by placing the IC chip within the card, only to appear upon keying in a certain code.



This concept offers a greater, more secure credit card experience that is definitely the way of the future.
