Methods for preventing a screenshot of a Wallet card

I work for a University and we are considering turning our Student/Staff ID cards into digial cards that will go into Wallet. I know the process for creating these and we have done quite a bit of testing with this, so this part is easy.


However, someone brought up a very good point. What would stop someone from getting ahold of another Student/Staff members phone, taking a screenshot of their ID card, and then just using that stolen image on their own phone to pay for things at the cafeteria using the bar code reader? Are there ways to prevent this sort of fraud?

Simply using an image of a card w/Wallet seems like a waste of time.


Why not include a one-time use code that is displayed along w/the ID card, that way, whether it's a screencapture or a photo of what's on the screen, it won't work in perpetuity.


And yes, this may require updating your terminals, but hey, you want to use the fast lane, you have to be all in.

What stops someone from getting ahold of one of your current physical student ID's, taking a photo and making their own ID card? You have authentication methods to prevent that sort of fraud, right?


On the other hand, for "How do you prevent someone passing off a screenshot as your pass?", one of the answers is "Use both sides of the pass."
