I don't see why Visa and MC have to design it.  Look at SET v. SSL, eg.

Perhaps the ubiquity of the mobile phone would allow it to be used as part
of a platform supporting this, inasmuch as it provides an on-line component
that one would have available at a brick+mortar establishment.

For something like this to really have an impact, it would have to be
designed and officially supported by VISA and Mastercard, and would
have to work at Brick-And-Mortar merchants just as well as online
merchants. Without using some kind of token device, I don't see any
way that could be done today.
