> Why not do the same thing credit cards or access smartcards do?

I think you would be surprised how bad the security on these systems is.

The credit card security relies mainly on the ability of the bank to rollback in case of "a shit happened" and in the payment terminal itself.

Probably not something you want to see to protect against identity thief nation wide. And you also can not trust individuals smartphone to do the right thing.
