The e-commerce industry and the online casinos are always calling for additional security that can help to protect them and their customers when they make purchases in the online shops or when they deposits money to an online casino. The biggest concern the online consumers have is the fear of the security of their personal details. Identity fraud is a huge and ongoing concern to the players. To counter these identity frauds the online casinos and internet merchants moves towards electronic ID cards. These cards will work like a driver’s license or a passport with several layers of security to prevent its abuse. It will be much harder for the criminals to take advantage of the player’s personal details. A person’s driver’s license has several layers of physical security built in to them, to protect it against fraudulent use on land-based casinos. At the online casinos the players are not physical present and able to show a passport or a driver’s license, so the validation of the players’ identity is a much more challenging task. According to the latest development in the field, the players will now have maximum protection against fraud with their personal details available on the internet today. The ID cards will have a maximum security encryption, so the risk of releasing the information to the wrong people will be very limited, since the fraudster must know the encryption to get any usable information from the encrypted date stream. The personal information are only released to the people that the cardholder has flagged as trustworthy, so every time a transaction is going to take place the card holder must verify the receiver.
