NFC

Full Title or Meme

Near Field Communications (NFC) is used by some smart chips to provide Identity Information

Context

Consent of users to actions in cyberspace has been found in a Privacy Policy or Terms of Service which in many countries take on legal weight as a Contract of Adhesion. That legal basis is now being reimagined in many legal jurisdictions.

Problems

It's easy to read an NFC chip without the user's knowledge.

Solutions

• Some providers of Identity cards also give the user a tinfoil envelope to block reading of the chip, for example if a user gets an enhanced Driver's License in the state of Washington, they are provided such an envelope.
