Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Closing  in  on  BHIM  V 4.0  !

Of course , it is a matter of time before NPCI launches Voice Activated version of their Mobile Wallet BHIM , as described in  :


How soon , can be guessed by the following report in Times of India ( 05 July ) :
=======================================================
Your face may be the next safe password

Apple Inc. is working on a feature that will let you unlock your iPhone using your face instead of a fingerprint.


For its redesigned iPhone, set to go on sale later this year, Apple is testing an improved security system that allows users to log in, authenticate payments, and launch secure apps by scanning their face, according to people familiar with the product.


This is powered by a new 3-D sensor, added the people, who asked not to be identified discussing technology that’s still in development. The company is also testing eye-scanning to augment the system, one of the people said.


The sensor’s speed and accuracy are focal points of the feature.


It can scan a user’s face and unlock the iPhone within a few hundred milliseconds, the person said.


It is designed to work EVEN IF THE DEVICE IS LAYING FLAT ON A TABLE, rather than just close up to the face.


The feature is still being tested and may not appear with the new device. However, the intent is for it to replace the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, according to the person.


Apple is not the first to use different forms of biometric authentication. In its latest phones, Samsung included iris scanners that let users unlock their phones and make payments by scanning their eyes. Samsung’s feature launched to poor reviews as users were able to trick the sensor with printed photo copies of a person’s eyes. Apple’s sensor has 3-D depth perception, which means the system is less likely to be duped by 2-D pictures.

Preloaded BHIM ?




Gadget,ndtv.com ( 04 July ) carries following news item :



Karbonn K9 Kavach 4G With BHIM App Launched in India



It goes on to read :


================================


Domestic mobile brand Karbonn Mobiles on Tuesday launched a new smartphone in the country, the Karbonn K9 Kavach 4G.

The smartphone's USP is its UPI integration in the form of the preloaded BHIM app, and inclusion of a fingerprint sensor for payment authentication.

Elaborating on the UPI payments integration on the Karbonn K9 Kavach 4G, the domestic brand at its launch event in New Delhi said that the BHIM app's access and securitisation mechanisms have been integrated at a firmware level, making it safer to use. 

NPCI officials were also present at the launch event.

The company also claims that the preloaded BHIM app has been optimised for user experience and app performance on the K9 Kavach 4G smartphone. The company is also touting the security benefits of the fingerprint sensor.

Other OS level integrations on the Karbonn K9 Kavach 4G that are being touted by the company include e-KYC and Aadhaar authentication, Digilocker and e-Gov service access, the ability to perform person-to-person transactions directly from the phonebook, contextual payments within messenger apps, as well as bill payments and utility services.
============================================
Do not get surprised if Karbonn offers to develop for NPCI , BHIM ( V 4.0 ) as described in :

Dear Shri Hota :

Just read your views in Eco Times ( 13 June / Start Ups and the Sarkar ) , where you say :

“ We are very happy with Start Ups

Post BHIM we have decided as a policy to work with Start Ups in developing new products and applications to enhance the payments eco-system “

Could the next improvement in BHIM , be a “ Voice Activated “ version ( BHIM V 4.0 ) , as described in :

·         BHIM , the Unstoppable

This breakthrough will enable millions of illiterate / rural Indians to start using BHIM

Earlier , I have penned my suggestions in :

·         Let  BHIM  get  MAD   
·         A  Beerud  named  BHIM  ?
