Re: [Opensc-devel] SE (Security Element) dropped in new Nexus 7

[Andreas S. <and...@ca...>]

Build-in SEs in a mobile device don't make sense if you can also have a
centrally managed SE. And mobile phones tend to have good network
coverage at any point where interactions via NFC happen.

No need to have any local risk processing if you are online anyway.

And with EMV cards you're absolutely right. I don't really understand
why I need to key-in my credit card number into unsafe webforms, provide
an additional 3D secure password into a form that pops-up and probably
screws the transaction underway. I want to put my credit card into the
cheap reader I use for homebanking already and perform an EMV
transaction via the net. I don't know what prevents banks from offering
such a solution (oh sorry of course I know: This would benefit me and
not my bank).
