A wireless smart card having a personal area network transceiver, such as
a Bluetooth transceiver, to couple the wireless smart card with a mobile
communication device, and a near field communication (NFC) and
radio-frequency identification (RFID) transceiver to couple the wireless
smart card to a wireless transaction device, and a transponder with a
secure element to allow secure communications between the mobile
communication device with the wireless smart card and the wireless smart
card and the wireless transaction device is described. The wireless smart
card allows, for example, contactless payment through a Bluetooth-enabled
mobile communication device without modification to the mobile
communication device.
