How does NFC differ from RFID?
RFID tags present in contactless credit cards send information only when asked whereas a NFC chip can also receive information in addition to sending it. Thus your NFC enabled device can have a two-way conversation with the payment station and instead of simply sending your name and credit card number when the data is requested, the chip can ask the payment gateway to wait for a secure code until the owner enters it. This is however not possible with RFID.
