+ <h3>13-11-2014: Visa and MasterCard's to move from passwords to biometrics</h3>
+ <p>Visa and MasterCard are planning to &quot;simplify hated verification
+ systems&quot; by moving from passwords to security codes on mobiles
+ and biometrics. Continuing their flawed insistence on verifying identity,
+ Visa and MasterCard will thus build a very personal picture of their
+ customers, from shopping habbits down to their cardiac rhythm.<br>
+ Taler does not require a customer's identity to verify a payment, as the
+ payment system cryptographically verifies the coins. Thus, Taler does
+ not have to intrude into any personal detail of a citizen's life, and
+ certainly not their private medical data.
