The arrival of
fingerprint reader, theTouch ID, has been
one of the great novelties of last year. In fact, it provides security
high level at theiPhone 5sand to
future iPhone and iPadfuture.
The developers conference started with theMonday keynoteand continues
throughout the week with numerous sessions dedicated to news
iOS features in particular. However, on Wednesday, asession dedicated to
Touch ID has greatly interested PayPal, which intends to take advantage of
opening the player to third-party applications:
PayPal always stays up to date with new developments from Apple
as we had already mentioned with thefuture solution
mobile payment that the Californian firm is considering.
As we saw in the keynote, Apple opened its playerTouch IDto third-party applications, which opens
great prospects for developers. This is how PayPal sees it as a
opportunity to make your mobile payment solutions a little more secure,
widely used throughout the world. Apparently, the API (the software allowing
to integrate these new features into an application) for Touch ID
would be fairly easy to use according to PayPal, although the company says it does not
not yet have started development (the session is only
from the day before yesterday).
Obviously, if Apple and PayPal could be in direct competition on the
mobile payment, everyone can benefit from this opening. The possibility of
pay with hisiPhone 5svia PayPal in one way
very secure is clearly an added value for PayPal as for
the iPhone user. By opening theTouch ID
third-party applications, Apple offers great opportunities to developers
but also brings an advantage in terms of security to any user of
the iPhone, whether for payments or simply authenticating on
applications.
