Why Security Chips Are An Edge To Your Credit Card July 16, 2014 | Page 3

Where Microchip Originally Started
It all began during vicious
attacks way back in 2001. A
surgeon
implanted
tiny
computer chips underneath his
skin to automatically transmit
data and information to a
scanner. Though it has the size
of a mint freshener, it can hold
several sentences and serial
numbers to identify people’s
information.

What triggered him in doing
this was that he saw people
panicking and writing their
names and security numbers
on their arms in case they get
killed or injured inside the
World Trade Center site. This
new discovery was enhanced
later on to broaden its purpose
aside
from
transmitting
information using a scanner.

How The Microchip Works
Now, this little thing emerged in a
specialized flat mini platform
embedded in our credit cards. Its
purpose is to hold information of
the card holder to authorize,
authenticate and process transactions. The embedded chip is used
to dodge any counterfeit copy schemes.
Having this implanted in your card is an edge because you can
be confident enough in securing your data accounts and
information.
