# Bolt card specification
The bolt card system is built on the technologies listed below.
- [LUD-03: withdrawRequest base spec.](https://github.com/fiatjaf/lnurl-rfc/blob/luds/03.md)
- with the exception of maxWithdrawable which must be returned as higher than the actual maximum amount
- [LUD-17: Protocol schemes and raw (non bech32-encoded) URLs.](https://github.com/fiatjaf/lnurl-rfc/blob/luds/17.md)
- NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF)
- Replay protection
- NXP Secure Unique NFC Message (SUN) technology as implemented in the NXP NTAG 424 DNA card
Bolt card systems should implement the best possible privacy.
- [Privacy levels](https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard/blob/main/docs/CARD_PRIVACY.md)
Bolt card systems may optionally support these technogies.
- [LUD-19: Pay link discoverable from withdraw link.](https://github.com/lnurl/luds/blob/luds/19.md)
- [LUD-21: pinLimit for withdrawRequest](https://github.com/bitcoin-ring/luds/blob/withdraw-pin/21.md)
## Bolt card and POS interaction
the point-of-sale (POS) will read a NDEF message from the card, which changes with each use, for example
```
lnurlw://card.yourdomain.com?p=A2EF40F6D46F1BB36E6EBF0114D4A464&c=F509EEA788E37E32
```
the POS will then call your bolt card service here
```
https://card.yourdomain.com?p=A2EF40F6D46F1BB36E6EBF0114D4A464&c=F509EEA788E37E32
```
your bolt card service should verify the payment request as below and continue the standard LNURLw protocol as defined in LUD-03
## Server side verification of the payment request
- for the `p` value and the `SDM Meta Read Access Key` value, decrypt the UID and counter with AES
- for the `c` value and the `SDM File Read Access Key` value, check with AES-CMAC
- the authenticated UID and counter is used on the bolt card service to verify that the request is valid
- the bolt card service must only accept an increasing counter value
- additional validation rules can be added at the bolt card service, for example
- card enable flag
- card payment limit per transaction
- card payment limit per day
- allowed merchant list
- verification of your location from your phone
- the bolt card service can then make payment from a connected lightning node
