Security
Mobile payments, wireless connections and content sharing
all demand security:

4cm/1.5 inches), so it’s unlikely you’ll connect by mistake –
if you did, you would still have to accept the connection
to send or receive information.
• Encryption: your phone uses the latest security,
encryption and authentication features to protect your
personal information for mobile payments and content
sharing.
