HID Global is adding a mobile sticker format to its family of contactless payment and identification cards and is aiming at the mobile phone market as well and NFC payment services, which can be accessed by affixing the sticker to a handset.
The stickers are only likely to act as bridge to contactless mobile payments and Near Field Communication services because gradually in-built secure chips will corner the market as more and more customers take up secure SIM-enabled smartphones. The adhesive-backed sticker is a useful bridge in the meantime, however, and HID Global’s contains an internal ferrite layer that shields electronics from interference even when attached to items containing metal.
