RFIDsecur Offers Unusual Method of Protecting Contactless Payment Options

Security in mobile payment systems is instrumental in people’s continued and growing use of same. That’s why new tools are constantly emerging to fight data breaches and other hacker-driven incursions, and one of the latest—now going through Kickstarter—is delivering highly-portable protection for payment cards: RFIDsecur. RFIDsecur is built around a proprietary polymer film which acts to effectively block RFID access when a payment card isn’t actively being used. This isn’t exactly a new concept—the idea of RFID-blocking card sleeves and wallets have been around for some time—but this may be the first time I’ve seen it reduced down to a simple film sleeve.
