on a computer chip called the Secure Element.
• The Android device itself can be locked with
a personal identification number (PIN).
• The Google Wallet app requires an additional PIN
to activate the NFC chip antenna.
• The Google Wallet device must touch or be in
close proximity to a MasterCard PayPass reader.
• Once the transaction is completed, the antenna is
turned off. Additional transactions require the
PIN to be entered again.

access Google wallet, instead Google is planning
to make money by offering sponsored ads to
their users. Two types of offers will be available
for the users via Google Shopper:
•Today's offers: which allows the user to see a
single offer redeemable for discounted goods or
services in their area.
•Nearby offers: which allows the user to see a
list of offers in the 'Eat' and 'Play' categories that
nearby businesses have submitted through
Google Places.
