10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a security component that protects against a threat with at least one of the following:

the security component leverages an online clearing agent to alert at least one of a bank, the account, a mobile device service provider, a certifying authority, or the terminal component of a theft related to at least one of a portion of data on the mobile device, the mobile device, or the terminal component;

the security component deletes a portion of the m-card based on a security breach, the security breach is an invalid password entry, a defined number of incorrect password entry attempts, or received alert from the online clearing agent; or

the security component employs a password during at least one of a moment prior to a transaction, a moment during a transaction, a moment after a transaction, a moment after a pre-defined number of transactions, a moment after a dollar amount of tabulated transactions, or a detection of a possible threat.

11. The system of claim 1 , the mobile device further comprising at least one physical button input that, upon activation, initiates at least one of a password entry, a password entry completion, or a wireless digital payment to the terminal.

12. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a communication component that enables wireless communication between the mobile device and the terminal component, the wireless communication is at least one of a NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, or a combination of NFC and Bluetooth in a two-stage protocol.

13. The system of claim 1 , the terminal component further comprises a power component that transmits a portion of power to the mobile device during wireless communication, the portion of power is at least one of a quick charge or a power-supply probe.

14. A computer-implemented method that facilitates securely transmitting sensitive data related to a payment transaction, comprising:

creating an m-card on a mobile device, the m-card includes a portion of account data associated with an account;

storing the m-card on the mobile device;

transmitting the portion of account data wirelessly to a payment terminal with public-key cryptography;

verifying the portion of account data on the m-card with an organization corresponding to the account;

processing a transaction with the portion of account data on the m-card upon verification from the account; and

hosting a virtual machine (VM) environment within the mobile device that includes a secure virtual machine monitor (VMM) that monitors at least a main VM and an isolated payment module VM, the VMM utilizes an I/O driver that provides a driver for at least one of a screen on the mobile device, a keypad on the mobile device, or a secure storage with hardware-based encryption related to a portion of data stored thereon, the main VM provides an operating system for the mobile device and wirelessly interacts with at least one of a wireless service provider network or the payment terminal, the isolated payment module VM communicates at least one of a request or a response with the main VM.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

employing a next-generation secure computing base (NGSCB) with a secure boot mechanism; and

limiting interaction with a keypad and a screen on the mobile device to a single virtual machine.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

utilizing a physical button input on the mobile device to signal at least one of a password entry, a password entry completion, or an initiation of a wireless digital payment;

authenticating the payment terminal with a certificate issued by an independent organization; or

comparing a location related to the mobile device with a location of the payment terminal to authenticate the payment terminal.
