The initiative is aimed at securing all payment card information before, during and after transactions without changing the existing current payment infrastructure.
The ‘Checkout with Wocket’ initiative is built upon the principle of making that data useless in the case of a data breach. With this technology, if someone gained access to a credit card number used with a Wocket smart wallet, it would not work if sold or used outside of the Wocket itself, rendering it completely useless to a hacker.
Wocket smart wallet generates a dynamic account number that reveals no information about the actual account number, but is ‘dynamically paired’ to a specific account number so that a transaction can take place without uprooting the retailers existing infrastructure. Since the Wocket uses standard magnetic stripe technology on its reprogrammable card, no additional hardware at the retailer level is required.
