“Statistical modeling and simulation for card payment at medium distance.”

As part of the "Payment of a hand gesture", the Natural Security company uses a technology at medium distance based on biometrics to authenticate owner and to allow transaction with no card payment manipulation while limiting the risk fraud. Depending to the context of use (frequency of transactions) a theoretical expertise is needed to assess the viability of the system in term of probability of collision or wrong authentication. This collaboration has led to two contracts in 2011, 6 k€ each and about two weeks long each.
