Hi, I know there have been posts on this before, but I'm wondering what the current state of play is with bank/credit card emulation? Particularly in Australia?
Here, the Commonwealth bank has Tap and Pay with Android, so you can use an Android phone in place of card for Paypass/Paywave at supporting POS terminals. Otherwise, Android Pay, Apple Pay are not really supported over here by the banks. I presume there is still no way to implement this on an Android phone? Theres apps out there that can scan a card and read data, but I can't see that its possible to communicate with a POS terminal with the phone, I'm not seeing anything out there that even tries. All I can see is it requires being able to communicate with the Secure Element on the device, or else the host-based way involves having the right encryption keys that I guess only the banks have. I'm wondering why its not possible to send whatever the card sends when you scan it - the raw scan data - to the POS? Surely when you read a card, thats what it sends, so why not just send that?
