HCE vs Secure Element

HCE processes NFC card emulation in software on the main processor, enabling any app to emulate a contactless card with cloud tokenization. Secure Element uses dedicated tamper-resistant hardware (eSE, UICC) for cryptographic operations, providing higher security but requiring hardware partnerships.
