By next year you’ll be able to pay simply by swiping your phone a few inches from a cash register,with the new wireless standard called
"Near Field Communication". An NFC chip in your phone will send your credit-card number stored on your phone or on the chip by way of short-distance radio waves.

I think chip and pin will still be used on this system so it will be quite secure.
