As you hold phone to what ear you put it as your fingers touch buttons - all this your unique characteristics which allow to distinguish you from all other people in any crowd.

The technology of identification of the person for gait is considered the most unusual and perspective. Ideally cameras identify the passengers approaching transport barriers. A system should pass the person as soon as recognizes him and will compare with an account which is connected with the operating payment card of the client. Besides, technologies of identification for the drawing of superficial veins and for heartbeat are developed, but they require additional devices of assessment therefore they are not so valuable.

Development of safe payment systems remains a problem still. Swindlers use more and more sophisticated technologies therefore clients and suppliers look for more and more high-tech solutions to remain on a step ahead of hackers. Only in the USA during 2019 about $3.5 billion in connection with Internet crimes were lost. At the same time the number of the difficult attacks since July, 2019 grew by 430% in comparison with the last half-year.^[1]
