YouTrip Introduces Latest 3DS 2.0 for Enhanced Fraud Detection and Seamless Online Payment Experience

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Oct. 1, 2020 — YouTrip, Singapore’s leading multi-currency mobile wallet introduces 3-Domain Secure 2.0 (3DS 2.0) authentication protocol to offer enhanced security for online transactions, as e-commerce transactions are expected to be the new-normal of purchasing. YouTrip 3DS 2.0 technology provides a more seamless and secure payment experience compared to its 1.0 predecessor, reducing payment dropout and fraud rate by up to 50%. The latest 3DS 2.0 technology is the first update to the payment technology since 3DS 1.0 was launched in 2001.

Pandemic-driven Digital Shift

As consumers started relying more on online shopping during the Circuit Breaker period (April to June), YouTrip has observed a 300% quarterly growth in e-commerce transactions as compared to the same period last year. Seeing the upward growth in YouTrip transactions on local and overseas online merchants, YouTrip introduces 3D Secure 2.0 as an additional layer of security to reduce fraudulent activities in online transactions. A research conducted by Mastercard showed that consumers will continue to prefer shopping online than in-stores even after the pandemic, boosting the shift to digital commerce for safety and convenience purposes.

Ms Caecilia Chu, Co-Founder and CEO of YouTrip shares: "Seeing how our YouTrip users are channelling their travel spirit to purchasing items from all over the world, it’s more critical than ever that we ensure a secure payment experience so they can fully enjoy the convenience of online shopping!"

YouTrip’s 3DS 2.0

YouTrip has implemented the 3DS 2.0 technology, a mandatory protocol by European card schemes standards as of October 2019 to improve the customer payment experience for users in Southeast Asia region.

One of the pain points of 3DS 1.0 is the cumbersome payment experience that has resulted in 22% of payments getting lost during the authentication process. Typically, 3DS 1.0 requires users to input either a static password or SMS One-Time password sent a registered mobile number to verify their payment.

With YouTrip’s 3DS 2.0 in place, users will be prompted to authorise their online payments through their YouTrip app. By logging into the YouTrip app to authorise the payment, it ensures that the transaction amount and merchant being paid to is made by the user. The overall user experience of authenticating through YouTrip 3DS 2.0 interface is more seamless than its predecessor.

Enhanced Security to Combat Fraud

With 10 times more risk assessment data points than 3DS 1.0, YouTrip 3DS 2.0 provides a more robust risk-based authentication to screen online merchants. By analyzing over 150 key data points related to the transactions, YouTrip 3DS 2.0 technology is able to better determine if it’s an actual purchase by the user and reduces transactions being falsely declined. Within the first two weeks of launch, YouTrip has reduced the possibility of potentially fraudulent activities by 15%.

"YouTrip’s journey to creating the best mobile financial services in Southeast Asia has only just begun! We’ll continue to innovate and leverage our technological expertise to provide the best cross-border payment experience – both online and offline for our users," Caecilia adds.

Borderless Payment Experience

Beyond security enhancement purposes, YouTrip 3DS 2.0 expands online shopping options for users to shop securely from all 3DS-enabled merchants worldwide. The latest authentication process also allows YouTrip users who are based overseas to enjoy the same seamless and secure online payment experience, since the authentication process is done via the YouTrip app and not SMS One-Time-Password (OTP) to a Singapore number.

IQM staff publishes a quantum-computer breakthrough in Nature

Leave a comment

The new high-speed nanoscale radiation detector is now on par with the best quantum computer readers. Many present IQM employees co-authored the research carried out at Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

ESPOO, Finland, Oct. 1, 2020 — Prof. Mikko Möttönen‘s university research group and collaborators have engineered a fast and ultra-sensitive nanoscale bolometer that detects very faint microwave radiation. In fact, the radiation detected is so weak that heating up a cup of coffee at room temperature, for 1°C in a microwave oven would have taken 50 septillion times more energy. That is a 5 followed by 25 zeroes.

"The device is so tiny; it could even fit inside a bacterium," says Möttönen who is a joint Professor of Quantum Technology at Aalto University and VTT, and also a Co-Founder of IQM.

The new bolometer can measure the energy of photons much more accurately and faster than before. This is essential for quantum computers, since measuring the energy of qubits, the quantum bits, is an integral part of quantum algorithms. Moreover, the device is small and readily integrable into superconducting quantum processors, providing a clear path towards real-world applications.

"We started the proof-of-concept using gold palladium for the bolometer," says M.Sc. Roope Kokkoniemi, the first author of the Nature paper who just joined IQM. "It worked but at the same time we also figured out how to make it even better. This is where graphene comes in as a replacement. The end result is indeed a much better sensor that can operate at higher speed, so much better that it can be useful in reading out the state of a superconducting qubit, the building block of a superconducting quantum processor," added Roope. This has also been a collaborative effort with Professor Pertti Hakonen‘s NANO group of Aalto University, with VTT, and with National University of Singapore.

Accelerating the development at IQM
In quantum computers such as the ones developed at IQM, this detector technology could prove very useful in replacing conventional readers and enabling the scaling up of future quantum processors due to its relatively small size. By virtue of being at the epicenter of quantum in Finland, IQM is in a unique position to commercialize such breakthroughs through close cooperation with the growing local quantum ecosystem.

"We consider this an exciting milestone in the field of quantum technology. IQM is constantly looking for new ways to enhance its quantum-computer technology and this new bolometer certainly fits the bill," explains Dr Kuan Yen Tan, Co-Founder of IQM who was also involved in the reported research.

Technology from the best research
IQM is a prime example of a successful technology transfer story, epitomizing how research can be commercialized in an expedited way. IQM has become the leading quantum-computer company in Europe in an extraordinarily short time, already making its way towards the first commercial quantum computer sale. The company has managed to establish itself a unique foundation in the field, not only because of it has been able to recruit a major fraction of the highly limited pool of talented quantum engineers, but also because of its ability to cooperate with universities and industry partners all over Europe.

Significant part of IQM’s rapid development and brilliance in the field of quantum computing stems from the close interplay with academia. In fact, IQM is highly integrated in academia and most of its employees have research background. IQM’s team has collectively published over 640 scientific articles with more than 27,000 citations.

IQM’s aim is to become a pan-European quantum-computer company and further expand its partnerships with the best research teams all over Europe.

Turning AI onto itself: AI algorithm detects when medical images will be difficult for radiologists or AI to make an effective diagnosis

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2020 — A new AI algorithm can identify when medical images are likely to be difficult for either a radiologist or AI to make an effective diagnosis. The algorithm can potentially be used to triage medical scans and highlight cases that warrant further in-depth clinical evaluation or additional tests to support a definitive clinical diagnosis.

Radiologist diagnosing x-ray scan
Radiologist diagnosing x-ray scan

The algorithm, called UDC by AI healthcare company Presagen, was originally designed to automatically detect errors in medical data, particularly data that cannot be reliably verified by experts.

When applied to images of x-rays to detect pneumonia, errors by radiologists were rare when the x-ray images had clear features. However, UDC found the diagnosis (or label) for several x-ray images to be neither correct nor an error. Verification of these images by an independent radiologist also agreed that they were indeed difficult images to diagnose, with their independent assessment often disagreeing with the original diagnosis provided in the public dataset. Similarly, AI that was trained to diagnose pneumonia also found the assessment difficult for these images.

Removal of poor-quality (difficult) images identified by UDC from the training dataset improved AI accuracy for diagnosing pneumonia in x-rays images by over 10% as measured on a hold out blind test set, and the AI was shown to be more scalable (generalizable). The accuracy also exceeded benchmarks set by the current literature for that public dataset.

The AI Scientist that led the project, Dr Milad Dakka, said "Our results suggest these poor-quality images are uninformative, counter-productive or confusing when used in training AI. The ability to identify when new images are poor-quality is important to prevent an inaccurate AI clinical assessment, but also to alert the radiologist when the scan is likely to be difficult to diagnose or when a new scan should be taken."

Presagen Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Dr Don Perugini said "Many AI practitioners believe that AI performance and scalability can be solved with more data. This is not true, and we call it the AI data fallacy. Even 1% poor-quality data can impact the performance of the AI. Building accurate and scalable AI is about using the right data."

Presagen has recently developed a range of patent-pending AI technologies that drive a fundamental paradigm shift in developing commercially scalable AI products for real-world problems, which apply beyond healthcare and to AI more generally.

Dr Michelle Perugini said "We are excited to present to the world the suite of technologies, which we believe advance the field of AI. These technologies will allow Presagen to build scalable ‘out of the box’ AI products that are more commercially viable and technically superior, and thus market dominating. This is vital in Presagen’s journey to become world-leaders in AI Enhanced Healthcare and a dominant player in the AI-in-Femtech market globally. More importantly, we see it as an opportunity to change, lead, and dominate the AI industry."

KIRKLAND, Washington, Sept. 30, 2020 — Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (MPS) (Nasdaq: MPWR), a leading company in high performance analog solutions, announced today that it has filed lawsuits in the U.S. District Courts for the Western District of Texas and Northern District of California against Meraki Integrated Circuit (Shenzhen) Technology, Ltd. (Meraki); Meraki’s customer, Promate Electronic Co., Ltd.; and Meraki’s founders, Wei Dong and Lin Sheng.  The lawsuits assert claims of breach of contract, fraud, trade secret theft, and that Meraki’s synchronous rectifier products, including MK1808, MK91808, MK1718, MK91718, MK1708, MK1807, MK91807, MK1715, MK1716, MK17350, MK17360, MK91735, MK91736, MK91738, MK1705A, MK1706, MK1709, and MK1719 are knock offs of MPS proprietary products and have infringed at least five of MPS Chinese patents and U.S. Patent Nos. 8,067,973, 8,400,790, and 10,432,104.  The lawsuits also assert that Meraki has induced its customers to offer for sale and import Meraki’s infringing products into the U.S.

MPS alleges that Wei Dong, with aliases of Wayne and Wesley, and Lin Sheng, with alias of Elaine, were former U.S. engineers of MPS immediately prior to relocating to China with stolen MPS trade secrets.  MPS further alleges that in order to conceal their unlawful activities, Dong and Sheng used their mothers’ identities instead of their own to incorporate Meraki and to hold titles.

In the complaints, MPS seeks unspecified damages and court-ordered injunctions against future infringement and unlawful conduct by these companies, Dong, and Sheng, as well as the return to MPS of intellectual property including patent applications that were improperly assigned to Meraki.  MPS intends to vigorously protect and enforce its intellectual property.
