COMMERCE & PAYMENTS, AN ONGOING REVOLUTION
Retail
business is facing multiple upheavals: e- and m-commerce, social
networks, private sales, market places, sharing economy, CtoC,
digitalization of outlets, cross-channel, self-check-out, mobile POS …
Meanwhile, the payments industry is at the heart of a new deal
(disruptive technologies and digital channels, new regulations,
competitive pressures, new entrants and models ...), a phenomenon
exacerbated by the increasing convergence between off- and on-line
commerce. As such, all payment solutions have to fit with the customer
experience, before, during and after the purchase and to bring
value-added services (ubiquitous payment; speed and recognition; digital
coupon; instantaneous reward; geolocation...).
BIOMETRICS FOR AUTHENTIFICATION: THE DEATH OF PASSWORDS
Comfort
in use and authentication in digital environment have been a major shift
in biometric landscape. Mobile and cloud access, image and voice
detection for consumers, have impacted content diversification and
technical levels in biometrics. Uptake rate and usage are also growing
at good pace. This conference track offers a synthetic view on various
authentication domains for biometrics: mobile and cloud access, identity
management chains, biometric deployment for trust environments. Critical
infrastructures protections, legal and forensic investigations are also
in the scope.
SMART BORDERS: CONTROL? PREVENT? PROTECT?
The continuous
increase in worldwide travel and transport flows is fuelled by tourism,
migrations for economic, climate and insecurity factors. Quantitative
expectations expect doubling worldwide air passenger’s traffic alone to
more than 6 billion units in the coming 15 years up. In parallel,
qualitative management of mass transit, tourism and migrations has
become more sensitive and important. Obtaining smooth and seamless
transits, increasing security, managing human rights and international
agreements, preventing criminal inflows become key challenges. A rapid
pace is transforming the nature of the border itself, with new
techniques and architectures management associated with innovative and
interoperable registrations systems. Welcome to smart borders in the XXI
century!
SECURING THE IOT: THE HYPER-CONNECTED FUTURE
IoT
applications and services are expanding fast in ever more economic
sectors. After healthcare, energy, utilities, smart cities or
agriculture, IoT is growing in retail, banking, consumer services and
home automation and will not stop there. Multifunction is also
increasing as in healthcare stemming from monitoring and diagnostic to
implant management or telemedicine. In this context, securing the IoT is
becoming a key challenge for many businesses and administrations. This
conference track offers important answers to this challenge: handling
data in IoT, consolidating components and layers in network security
management; approaching technology protocols and standards, including 5G
or IPV6, for an effective use; understanding key concepts in IoT
governance with a focus on security, privacy and liability. Gaining
insights on use cases such as healthcare, agriculture, home automation,
energy or industry.
DATA MANAGEMENT AND PRIVACY: THE NEXT BIG THING
We are
experiencing an important transition in Privacy management and data
protection. It has become both a transversal subject for businesses and
a trust dimension in customer relationship. Today there is a significant
evolution as data protection is being redesigned in the international
regulation landscape, also making new structural progresses in business
processes from project designing to cloud servicing, widening user
control options. This program tackles international updates on privacy,
including general data protection regulation (GDPR) in Europe and
setting up a “Data Privacy Shield” between Europe and the US. It offers
also a large scope on methodologies: Privacy Impact Assessment,
Audits...; Technologies: Cryptology, Cloud data protection, big data
analytics, mobile privacy; Legal liability aspects and significant
updates on market practices and expectations.

PAYMENT DISRUPTION: WHO? HOW? WHY NOW?
The rapid growth of
digital technology is disrupting lots of different industries and
there’s no better evidence than in the payments industry. For many years
the industry moved more slowly, reliant on the decisions of a handful of
companies. With the digital revolution on the way, the payments growth
has become a truly global phenomenon. Many new players have been
entering the industry. Almost every day, new startups (or corporations)
try to launch a new solution. In this session, we will have a look at
the current payments landscape and see who are the companies trying to
disrupt the existing systems.
E-ID & E-GOVERNMENT: THE DRIVERS FOR INNOVATION
Digital
interactions lead to increasing the scope and length of e-government
strategies using electronic identification as a central pillar. After
administration efficiency and cost savings, new objectives aim to
strengthen digital trust, integrate appropriate economic services and
improve security and immigration policy. In a context where
international identity scheme interoperability and consistency are also
pursued in various world regions, the program looks into many issues
including lessons learnt with «digital by default» in administration
policies, implementation of international identity schemes, progression
with effective trust services, private-public interoperability, services
personalization with citizen cards and mobile identity; e-gov practices
from social inclusion or share economy transparency to improved control
in migration flow management.
REGULATORY CHANGES ARE SHAPING A NEW MARKET
The succession
of European directives, the decisions by competition authorities and
central governments are making the payment landscape more homogeneous
and more competitive. Amongst the major effects, let’s mention the
creation of the Payment and Electronic Money Institutions, the decline
of cards’ interchange fees, the advent of European SDD and SCT
instruments, the willingness to split scheme and processing, the access
to bank accounts allowed to third parties and the prospects of «instant
payments» ...The range of possibilities is becoming more and more
limitless.
FROM IOT TO CONNECTED COMMERCE
The IoT eco-system is
developing at a fast pace. While there were only a few billion connected
objects in 2014, many industry reports estimate that this number will
reach 25 to 50 billion by 2020. When payment capabilities are added to
connected objects, this will be the advent of connected commerce powered
by IoT. This track will try to answer the following questions: What is
the current status of IoT and payments? How can payment develop further
the IoT eco-system? What are the main opportunities and hurdles for the
development of Connected Commerce? What are the innovative solutions in
the IoT sector, and specifically in the wearables, connected home and
connected cars segments? What are the strategies of the different
players?

Conference Tracks
MOBILE PAYMENTS
Unsurprisingly, Mobile Payment is the
subject of desire and promises in all countries while E-Wallets have
shown their relevance in e-commerce (convenience, conversion rate, fight
against fraud, mobile friendliness ...). This has now led to a true
battle of titans between the web giants (Amazon, Alibaba, Google,
Facebook, Tencent ...), the international card schemes (Visa Checkout,
MasterPass), the big retailers (Walmart Pay, Starbucks, FlashnPay...),
the banks (Chase Pay, Paylib ...), the smartphone manufacturers (Apple,
Samsung, ...), the telecom operators (Vodafone, Orange, Telefonica, MTN
...) and a myriad of startups… In this permanent tumult, each
stakeholder will have to gather colossal firepower, great ingenuity and
value-added services to win on the long run.
THE FUTURE OF BLOCKCHAIN: HIT OR FLOP?
Among the hottest
«buzzwords» of the year, Blockchain undoubtedly appears near the top. If
in the past years, crypto-currencies hit the headlines for good or evil,
they have not experienced any significant development so far. However,
the interest of a growing number of stakeholders moved on the virtues of
Blockchain technology, which demonstrates considerable potential in many
areas, be it in the financial sector, automotive, IoT or health.
CYBER RISKS & FRAUD: THE SECURITY PUZZLE
Customer
accounts manipulation, assaults on cash flows and money transfers,
blocking, spying or stealing intangible assets, creating industrial
control system flows are a few examples of what every organization needs
