It *might* be possible. But its certainly a challenge. Technically there's probably a way to build a secure system, given the phone wouldn't have to store the secret. The biggest issue I see with that is a huge increase in latency. I'm not convinced that GRT or their contractors would be able to get network response times down to a level where it would be reasonable for tap payment, especially over a mobile network. But hey, if they were that would be awesome.
