The app lets users pay for goods and services with NFC-enabled smartphones. Users can add their credit card details on the app and, by swiping their phone over an in-store terminal, they can pay for goods in seconds.
viaForensics conducted a review of the information sent and stored by Google Wallet to see how secure it was with sensitive data.
