For consumer commerce, between the contactless and the smart chips this should be solved.

Someone else said the number is 'hidden' from the users but it's not hiding versus not hiding that's the problem. It's that for e-commerce the human has to transcribe the number by hand. You can't hide it, except via another system.

AFAIK, that's how the first version of 3D secure worked: you were redirected to your bank site and authenticated the payment there.
