More and more card readers at POS terminals now support tap to pay means of making a payment. If we are not inserting the chip end of the card, how is it providing additional security?

The exact same way as adding a second key lock to you houses front door would. It’s just an extra check, now instead of a single key you need two and both must be present at the same time to open the lock. I can copy your cards strip information (key A) but I also have to have the chips information (key b) or I can’t get in.
