comment Is Visa PayWave secure?
@tylerl The quote from the website is that the cards are "as secure as any other Visa chip card" which as demonstrated in other answers isn't true due to their contactless interface. I don't think it's reasonable to say that the system is just as secure because Visa is willing to reimburse you if you report fraud and that they agree fraud took place, especially since banks are somewhat notorious (at least in the UK) for not being helpful in fraud cases, although due to the fact it's a new technology they may be more willing just to pay so as not to stifle consumer confidence in the technology.

-1 This doesn't actually answer the question, it doesn't talk about the security of the cards.

Providing a link to, or at least the title of, the papers you're referring to would be nice.

Expanded acronym in title, otp isn't used enough for it to be instantly recognisable. slight grammar change.
