What is NFC payment security?

NFC payment security: EMV tokenization generates a unique dynamic code per transaction — stolen card data is useless without the dynamic code. Relay attacks extend the NFC range.
EMV chip+NFC is significantly more secure than magnetic stripe (static data). Apple Pay/Google Pay use device tokens — your actual card number is never transmitted. Relay attacks remain a theoretical concern but difficult in practice.
