Is the information on an NFC business card encrypted?
The link is public by design — the account behind it is what's secured.
Your SmartCard's chip stores a link, not your raw personal data — so there isn't 'encrypted data on the chip' in the way a bank card encrypts an account number. Anyone who taps the card reaches the same public profile page you've chosen to share.
The security that matters is on the account side: your app.smartcards.ng login is what lets you edit your profile, switch modes, or store files in your Smart Drive, and that's protected the same way any password-protected account is.
If you're storing sensitive files in Smart Drive, you choose what's public and what stays private to your account — nothing is exposed just because someone taps your card.
Nothing to hack remotely
The chip only stores a link — there's no login, wallet, or session on the card itself for anyone to break into.
