>From what I can gather from their black text on a dark-grey background, all they're implementing is one-time CC numbers on various devices. Banks have been using one-time CC numbers for awhile now, all this is doing is garnishing them with an extra layer of biometric magic. The important thing isn't the biometrics, it's the one-use-only CC number that provides the security, and that's not really new.
