Terence Eden’s Blog<p><strong>Contactless Payments with GrapheneOS</strong></p><p><a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/06/contactless-payments-with-grapheneos/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/06/conta</span><span class="invisible">ctless-payments-with-grapheneos/</span></a></p><p></p><p>Google's monopolistic stranglehold on Android results in poor experience for power-users, and artificially restricts choice for those who have older phones. For example, Google Wallet is the <i>de facto</i> way to use NFC payments on Android. There's one problem though - it only works with <em>Google's</em> Android. If you have the temerity to install a 3rd party Android OS - like the hyper-secure <a href="https://grapheneos.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">GrapheneOS</a> - you'll be locked out of it.</p><p></p><p>First of all, Google is lying. It <em>does</em> meet security standards and it is <em>not</em> rooted. I get that <a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/05/the-limits-of-general-purpose-computation/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">I have no right to run someone else's software in an environment they don't like</a>, but this is just misinformation. 3rd party OSes are often <em>more</em> secure that a stock OS which has been left to rot by an unresponsive manufacturer.</p><p>Anyway, here's how you can use contactless payments on Graphene.</p><p><strong>Prerequisites</strong></p><p>I'm going to tell you what I did. If you found another way, leave a comment or write your own blog post.</p><p>I'm using the latest version of Graphene (2025062000) with Play Services installed. The app is running in my main profile. None of the advanced app protection has been toggled for the app. NFC is on.</p><p>You will have to agree to <a href="https://www.curve.com/legal/privacy/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Curve's privacy policy</a>. And the privacy policy of your credit card. Look, if you're using Graphene, you're probably overly privacy sensitive. If you're concerned about The Man™ knowing that you used your card to buy a breakfast beer and then sharing that with 958 trusted partners, just use cash instead.</p><p><strong>Install Curve</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.curve.com/join#D4MK9ZKN" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Here's a referral link to install Curve</a> - join and you get £10. Or, you can <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imaginecurve.curve.prd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">install directly from the Play Store</a>.</p><p>You'll need to create an account and pass KYC / AML checks. <a href="https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/fca-firm-checker/firm-10456-925447" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Curve are regulated by the FCA</a> so you should feel safe giving your details to them.</p><p><strong>Add a card</strong></p><p>Curve is a <em>virtual</em> card provider. So add your existing Visa or MasterCard to the app (no Amex). When you spend on Curve, you're actually spending on the underlying card you've added. Curve promise cheaper foreign exchange fees and a few other perks. But what we're really interested in is NFC payments.</p><p><strong>Set up Curve Pay</strong></p><p>On your app's dashboard, you should see a banner saying "Curve Pay is good to go!". If not, head into your account and set it up there.</p><p></p><p>If it has all set up, you should see a welcome tutorial explaining how contactless works.</p><p></p><p><strong>Set your default wallet</strong></p><p>On your phone, go to Settings → Connected devices → Connection Preferences → NFC → Contactless Payments.</p><p>Or, search your settings for Pay.</p><p></p><p>Select your default wallet app - in this case, Curve.</p><p></p><p><strong>Pay for something</strong></p><p>You need to make sure NFC is turned on before you can use NFC payments. I know that sounds obvious, but I forgot to do it the first time and got very confused.</p><p>Go to a local shop, pick up something, hand it to the merchant, wave your phone over the payment terminal like you are a technowizard from the future.</p><p></p><p>Enjoy eating whatever you paid for!</p><p><strong>That's it!</strong></p><p>Once you're done, you can turn of NFC if you're paranoid.</p><p>Apparently, <a href="https://justfollow.me.uk/@sborrill/114761774161342879" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Curve also works with Garmin Smart Watches</a> - but I don't have one to test out.</p><p>If you've found this blog post useful, I'd be grateful if you signed up with <a href="https://www.curve.com/join#D4MK9ZKN" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my referral link for Curve</a>.</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/android/" target="_blank">#android</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/google/" target="_blank">#google</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/grapheneos/" target="_blank">#GrapheneOS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/nfc/" target="_blank">#nfc</a></p>

Given that I worked for a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PaymentProcessor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PaymentProcessor</span></a> in the past this is some basic knowledge re: <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a>, because one needs to understand how stuff like CNP (<em>"Card not Present"</em>) works and how the system is architected to the point that even if someone were to hack the database of said payment processor, they'd never find any CCs or the CVVs stored there <em>at all</em>. </li></ul><p>It's also insightful because <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/fraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fraud</span></a> would be way more rampant if the card issuer, payment processor and card system operator [i.e. AMEX, VISA, MasterCard] didn't all run their own AFE [Anti-Fraud Engine] each automatically assessing risks within less than a second for every transaction.</p><ul><li>That's why one can get their <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CC</span></a> blocked when using a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/VPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VPN</span></a> and why fraudsters need the location of their victims because if I had a CC and used it regularly and someone were to try to swipe a skilled copy of that at a Walmart or Best Buy on the East Coast of the USA less than 24 hours of my last use in Germany, that would automatically get declined as fraud and the person at the cashier will call security because noone is travelling that quickly that far.</li></ul><p>But that's just some cold OSINT based off <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TechSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechSupport</span></a> and peeking behind the curtains professionally...</p><ul><li>There's way more but I can't go into details on that. </li></ul><p>Rest assured if you have a CC you can be as certain that someone tried to abuse it as I'm certain my bank blocked fraudulent money orders against my account because of AFEs working - it's just &gt; 99% of all fraud attempts get blocked instantly and merchants rate-limited or kicked off the system when they do something suspicious.</p><ul><li>Same reason why one can't frame someone for a crime by just wiring obviously illicit funds to their account: AML (Anti-Money Laundering) will catch that and unless the account holder were to ask "Where's the money/transaction?" <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FinCEN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FinCEN</span></a> et. al. won't even bother calling the account holder up simply because <em>"oops I wired money to the wrong account. Can you please send it back?"- <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scam</span></a></em> is a well-known method to turn unsuspecting people into money launderers.</li></ul><p>So yeah, that <em>"<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/magstrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>magstrip</span></a>"</em> may be just lacquer but unless it's specifically advertised otherwise only holds the CC &amp; CVV as well as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHSFf0Lz1qc&amp;t=320" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">service codes</a> [i.e. chip+pin only] to tell the terminal <em>"Don't accept magstrip, mandate Chip+PIN"</em>]...</p><ul><li>Outside the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a>, this is the norm due to <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PSD2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSD2</span></a> exceeding <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PCIDSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PCIDSS</span></a> by quite a lot!</li></ul><p>Only <em>underdeveloped</em> countries like the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> still use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Magstrips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Magstrips</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/credit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>credit</span></a> and not Chip+PIN &amp; <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/debit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debit</span></a>!</p>
