Publisher's Synopsis
Expert cyberspace law practitioners have ventured into uncharted legal and conceptual territory to advance the understanding of transactions in and affecting radio frequency identification, near-field communications, and mobile payments. Apple Pay's launch makes near-field and mobile payments easier than ever before. More than 200,000 retailers in the United States already have near-field readers ready to assist their customers with Apple Pay payments. Lawyers need to understand the issues emerging in radio-frequency identification devices (RFIDs), near-field communications, and mobile payments generally. These new developments make this book a must-have desk reference for those who counsel payment providers and retailers in explaining the basic issues, technology, and its application to others. This valuable resource includes such diverse topics as: spectrum-regulation in the U.S. and abroad, divergent regimes for the protection of consumers privacy in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and India, the potential intrusiveness of RFID technology in specialized settings, including government-issued identification documents such as passports and in retail stores, the security of the data stored in or derived from RFIDs as a subset of generalized and specialty data-security concerns, the integrity of data held in or transmitted by RFIDs, and the already-present Internet of Things as a companion to the Internet as most of us have known it.
