NFC identity verification
Created by: pR0Ps
Instead of making both users take turns reading out values or alternating between scanning and generating bar codes, wouldn't just putting the phones together be simpler?
Initial thoughts:
- Responding to an NFC tag would only be enabled on the "Verify identity" screen
- Optimally the phones would automatically send their identity and confirm the identities sent to them match.
- Depending on the Android API's for this, users may have to take turns tapping to send their id.
(more research required)
