card is that when you use it, you dip it into the machine, you leave it in for a couple seconds, and during that time a one time code is generated that cannot be duplicated or reused. so it allows for a completely secure transaction. and obviously given all the breaches that we've been hearing about in the last year or two, this is fantastic news. >> yes. and what if the retailer that you like to go to doesn't have to reader yet? is shopping there still safe? >> well, that's a great question. in that case you would swipe as you always have, and what's great is if god forbid the retailer experiences a retail breach orconsumer always protected, you have zero on liability. eventually all the retailers will have the new readers that have the dip technology with the extra security. >> what about those of us that like to shop online? are we protected there? >> well, it is a very different
