A tester in disguise: sniffs mobile payments transactions at the POS
Test solution manufacturer Comprion and test service provider P3 have teamed up to develop the nano tracer, a portable tool dedicated to monitor NFC based payment transactions at the point-of-sale (POS).
The nano tracer is a testing solution embedded in a smartphone case which is able to trace payment transactions under real-life conditions. While carrying out a common mobile purchase at the point-of-sale, nano tracer captures the contactless transaction data between the smartphone and the POS terminal. The whole tracing process happens in a very inconspicuous way without affecting the daily business and without influencing the payment transaction itself.
Once collected, Comprion’s monitoring software processes, displays and analyzes the communication data. The analyzing software visualizes if communication failures were caused either by the mobile phone or the POS terminal. The smartphone case will be available as a standard for Samsung Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6S but can also be customized for other smartphones.
