Does this mean if I used Apple Pay, I would upload my CC numbers and not need to pull out the CC at stores/retailers which take Apple Pay?<br />
<br />
Is NFC wireless? How does the unique code get to the merchant? Is my CC number encrypted in a secret Apple Pay code that only that retailer knows at that instant, so it can decrypt the real CC number? Please elaborate on that...

I am trying to understand from a high level, what Google Wallet and Apple Pay do and a high level view of how they do it.<br />
<br />
I am not a security expert but eventually hope to understand the security each uses. But I am not ready for that kind of discussion.<br />

Thanks.

Google Wallet and Apple Pay: what do these programs do and how do they do it?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
