Visa Europe has announced a newly designed credit card, complete with a keypad and digital number display. The card is of the usual size and features a credit card number and magnetic strip for use with conventional card readers; it does not have a security code number in the traditional sense. Instead, cardholders will enter their PIN into the keypad, which will then generate a random number on the display. This random number will serve as the cardholder's one-time security code, which can then be entered to make online purchases.

This is the kind of technology that does ensure a hack proof system integrated right into the card, but the security of this system is yet to be tested. We at newlaunches.com remind you once again to check for your credit card before and after you go shopping.
