badbrainstormNFC tech could get faster and go fully contactless within the next five years
MudManI, for one, can't see a problem with extending the range of the technology we use for keys and payments by four to six times.
I mean, what could go wrong with being able to read secure data at a distance with fewer requirements for precision and proximity.
I'm not sure why you decided on sarcasm to discuss the concern, but I guess that's the internet.
Do you really think these experts in the field haven't considered security? Do you really think the ONLY thing saving us from rampant NFC crime has been distance limitations this whole time?
I know next to nothing on the topic, but your sarcastic implications are wild.
I didn't decide on sarcasm, as much as defaulted to it.
As for the other thing... look, I have an RF shielded wallet. Do I think somebody is going to sneak behind me with a card reader and try to steal five bucks from me? No, not really. Do I find the notion of them being able to do it without having to physically tap my crotch less secure? Probably.
