Abstract

A bank customer's CE device passively eavesdrops on NFC communications between the customer's electronic debit or credit card (“e-card”) and a third device and alerts the customer when such communication is detected from the e-card. In this way, the customer is alerted to possibly fraudulent “fishing” of the e-card data by a nearby thief device.
