11. A portable reader controller device configured to provide a single reader, without an internal contactless reader application to control the reader, when the portable reader controller device is coupled to the reader, to allow data to be transmitted between the reader controller device, a portable user device, and the reader to complete a transaction, wherein a security level of the data transmission is determined at least in part on the reader application.
- 12. A single reader, without an internal contactless reader application, configured to communicate with a portable reader controller device that provides the reader with a reader application, when the portable reader controller device is coupled to the reader, to allow data to be transmitted between the portable reader controller device, a portable user device, and the reader to complete a transaction, wherein a security level of the data transmission is determined at least in part on the reader application.
