Is it more secure? Considering it is just an extension of the same technology, I would go with the way the CC companies will implement it, no. |
NFC = near field communication. It adds more levels of security. Current credit cards are ing easily hackable.
And electronic passports are far more secure than classic paper-passports. |

Electronic passports more secure than classic ones? They are the same thing with the addition of the electronics in them..
Yeah I looked up what NFC was, but it is just an extension of RFID if you read up on it. How is that any more secure? I noticed I read it has a smartcard built in, which will, if implemented properly (and that is a big IF), provide much higher security. I just have my doubts. |

| As somebody who processes hundreds of individual credit card transactions each week, I can say that if you use your credit card at all, your identity is not secure. The trick is to be such a humongous loser, nobody even wants to become you for a while. |

| Not to mention the fact that government contractors with those passes would no doubt have their government credit cards attached to said badge - not their personal ones. |
