Contactless payment options save time, are less prone to wear and tear and can improve overall security of payment systems. Both Bluetooth Low energy and NFC have roles to play in these systems. NFC offers the inherent security of very short range communication making eavesdropping and attacks very difficult. Bluetooth Low Energy offers more scope and when combined with NFC for secure connections brings scope for the next generation of payment-on-the-go. the nRF52 Series SoCs offer multiprotocol support for a range of wireless technologies, including Bluetooth Low Energy and NFC. Additionally they are equiped with comprehensive on-chip security features for encryption and cryptography.
