What does this webinar cover?

Both host card emulation (HCE) and secure element-based solutions are now expected to be widely deployed around the world, along with multiple hybrid deployment models that enable a graduated approach to security.

This free to view, one hour webinar offers a unique opportunity to understand the future of the NFC security landscape.

Our first presentation examines the key differences between host card emulation and secure element (SE)-based NFC solutions and explores the opportunities presented by the two technologies. Attendees learn about the concept of ‘acceptable risk’, the unique requirements of individual NFC service use cases and both the advantages and limitations of SE and HCE technologies.

Our second presentation is a case study from Canada, a mobile payments success story where all of the country’s large carriers and four of the country’s ‘Big Five’ banks now offer their customers secure element-based NFC mobile payments. The presentation explains how Canada has become a world leader in mobile payments and the factors that have been key to its success.
