Protecting near field communication (nfc)

One or more computer-readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining, using a first Near Field Communication (NFC) device, an embedded encrypted key from a second NFC device;
• generating, using the embedded encrypted key from the second NFC device, a resource request, wherein the resource request includes the embedded encrypted key from the second NFC device;
• transmitting the resource request to a verifying component;
• and
• in response to transmitting the resource request, obtaining response data from the verifying component configured to cause a device coupled to the first NFC device to perform an action.

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices on which are stored instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining, using a first Near Field Communication (NFC) device, an embedded encrypted key from a second NFC device;
• generating, using the embedded encrypted key from the second NFC device, a resource request, wherein the resource request includes the embedded encrypted key from the second NFC device;
• transmitting the resource request to a verifying component;
• and
• in response to transmitting the resource request, obtaining response data from the verifying component configured to cause a device coupled to the first NFC device to perform an action.
