Every year more and more purchases are made by bank card transactions. At the same time the reports about card fraud are flooding the news. This paper first tries to describe the current situation of magnetic card fraud and what different types of fraud exist today. The aim of the paper is then to observe if everyone can perform card forgery by studying the tools and knowledge needed.

(1) For every macro instruction I and for every integer location a holds card(if a = 0 then I; Goto(insloc(0)) else (StopSCMFSA)) = card I +6. (2) For every macro instruction I and for every integer location a holds card(if a > 0 then I; Goto(insloc(0)) else (StopSCMFSA)) = card I +6. Let a be an integer location and let I be a macro instruction. The functor while a = 0 do I yields a macro inst...

Haitham Jahrami, PhD Card sort clinical tests such as the Wisconsin Card Sort Test and Activity Card Sort are well known in several clinical practices, including psychiatry, neurology, neuropsychology, and learning disabilities. However, card sort methodology is less famous as a research methodology. This editorial attempts to shed light on the novelty of the card sort methodology and its relev...

Using data from a credit card issuer, a neural network based fraud detection system was trained on a large sample of labelled credit card account transactions and tested on a holdout data set that consisted of all account activity over a subsequent two-month period of time. The neural network was trained on examples of fraud due to lost cards, stolen cards, application fraud, counterfeit fraud,...

Due to the rise and rapid growth of E-Commerce, use of credit cards for online purchases has dramatically increased and it caused an explosion in the credit card fraud. Fraud is one of the major ethical issues in the credit card industry. As credit card becomes the most popular mode of payment for both online as well as regular purchase, cases of fraud associated with it are also rising. In rea...

This study evaluated the whole blood immunochromatographic card test (ICT card test) in a survey performed in Northeastern Brazil. 625 people were examined by the thick blood film (TBF) and ICT card test. Residents of a non-endemic area were also tested by the whole blood card test and Og4C3. The sensitivity of the ICT card test was 94.7% overall, but lower in females than males, based on the r...

Smart card configuration is a complex process, which has an important impact on the product price. Realizing it efficiently and with minimum development effort is a major challenge for smart card manufacturers. This paper exposes the motivations for applying modeling techniques to Software Product Line (SPL), in order to improve the smart card configuration and personalization processes. Our ap...

The JAVA CARD transaction mechanism can ensure that a sequence of statements either is executed to completion or is not executed at all. Transactions make verification of JAVA CARD programs considerably more difficult, because they cannot be formalised in a logic based on preand postconditions. The KeY system includes an interactive theorem prover for JAVA CARD source code that models the full ...

Mobile wallets promise to allow people to easily manage their accounts and to carry less cards. However, the slow adoption of contactless point of sales (POS) terminals by merchants limits the potential of Near-Field Communication (NFC) based payment devices. In this paper, we discuss Wild Card, a secure and backward compatible way to make mobile payment through conventional magnetic stripe bas...

Authentic program modification is very important for a multi-application smart card system since applications in the system are realized after the issuance of the smart card. In this paper, we propose a framework for such authentic program modification. In our framework, before issuing a smart card to an individual, the card issuer stores a unique long bit string called PID on the card. From th...
