#NFC

Ich kann meinen Yubikey verwenden, um mich an Nextcloud anzumelden. Das geht auch am Telefon, einfach den Key ans Telefon halten und fertig.
Wie funktioniert aber die Kommunikation Key <-> Telefon? Ds ist doch Funk, brauchts da nicht auch Strom im Key?

iPhones will soon accept tap payments, but will Apple then allow Mastercard’s Tap on Phone app?

Apple Inc. is planning a new service that will let small businesses accept payments directly on their iPhones without any extra hardware, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The upcoming feature will turn the iPhone into a payment terminal, letting users such as food trucks and hair stylists accept payments with the tap of a credit card or another iPhone onto the back of their device.

But the big question is, given Apple’s reluctance for competition against their own products, will they still allow the new Mastercard app which will be a direct competition to this? Apple’s app will likely work with Apple Pay, and Mastercard’s will likely work with Mastercard itself.

Mastercard rolls out ‘Tap on Phone’ that allows a customer contactless card to tap and pay via a phone (no hardware terminal required)

Bild/Foto
This cuts out the existing separate hardware terminal that has until now been issued to merchants. This system requires only a phone with NFC (and of course the Mastercard merchant app).

Tap on Phone allows businesses to accept payments from any contactless card or mobile wallet right from their NFC-enabled device. With no extra hardware required, businesses can take advantage of this on-the-go solution to enable quick and convenient payment options. There is an option to send a receipt to customers through SMS or email.
