NFC

Full Title or Meme

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

Context

Many locations where a large number of Identity checks must be made at high speed, such as passports and door access methods, give the user an Identity Card with an imbedded NFC chip for easy access.

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.
