Enigma encryption machines used by the Nazis could help create fraud-proof bank cards

Nazi WWII encryption technology is being used to create the bank cards of the future. Technology from the German's Enigma ciphering machines, famously decoded by British mathematician Alan Turing, will be used to create ultra-secure encryption cards. The new cards will have machines in them to replace the existing three-digit CVV security number found on the back strip of most bank cards today, and could kill off the pin-entry card reader entirely. Technology from the German's Enigma ciphering machines, famously decoded by British mathematician Alan Turing, will be used to create credit cards.
