An Overview of Near Field Communication (NFC)
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 12, 2018
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a radio frequency short range wireless communication technology used by electronic devices to communicate with other electronic NFC enabled devices in close proximity of 10cm to 20cm depending on the mode of transmission. NFC is based on and is a subset of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transmitting at 13.56 MHz. Devices with NFC technology have enabled users to perform contactless payments, data transfers, access digital contents, security pass/access. NFC emerged lately and a lot of research is still on going to improve this technology. This paper is an overview of NFC technology as regards data transfer, contactless transactions, mode of operation and its security.
Near Field Communication(NFC)Technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new technology that has emerged in the last decade. NFC is a short range, high frequency, low bandwidth and wireless communication technology between two NFC enabled devices. Communication between NFC devices occurs at 13.56 MHz high frequency which was originally used by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). NFC works on both active and passive devices using various modes of operations. Also, NFC can happen between only two devices at a time. Potential NFC applications and services making use of NFC technology include e-payment, e-ticketing, loyalty services, identification, access control, content distribution, smart advertising, data/money transfer and social services. Due to its applicability to a wide range of areas and the promising value added opportunities, it has attracted many academicians, researchers, organizations and commercial companies. Technology usage is now in the pilot phase in many countries. Usability issues and technology adoption are being explored by many academicians and industrial organizations. As NFC enabled mobile phones spread and commercial services are launched, people will be able to pay for goods and services, access hotel rooms or apartments, update their information in social networks, upload their health data to hospital monitoring systems from their homes, and benefit from many more services by using their NFC enabled phones. The success of NFC technology is bound to advances in other fields as well. Over-the- Air technology among ecosystem factors is definitely a prerequisite to operate NFC systems satisfactorily. Secure Element (SE) is also a requirement to store valuable digital information on the same smart card securely. Dependence on other technologies is one of the challenges that NFC currently faces. All of these are discussed in detail in the following report.
A Survey on Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) as a promising short range wireless communication technology facilitates mobile phone usage of billions of people throughout the world that offers diverse services ranging from payment and loyalty applications to access keys for offices and houses. Eventually NFC technology integrates all such services into one single mobile phone. NFC technology has emerged lately, and consequently not much academic source is available yet. On the contrary, due to its promising business case options, there will be an increasing amount of work to be studied in the very close future. This paper presents the concept of NFC technology in a holistic approach with different perspectives, including communication essentials with standards, ecosystem and business issues, applications, and security issues. Open research areas and further recommended studies in terms of academic and business point of view are also explored and discussed at the end of each major subject’s subsection. This comprehensive survey will be a valuable guide for researchers and academicians as well as for business world interested in NFC technology.
NFC: Advantages, Limits and Future Scope
International Journal on Cybernetics & Informatics, 2015
Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology represents short range (practically up to 4 cm) wireless communication offering safe yet simple and intuitive communication between electronic devices that we use on a daily basis. Users of devices having NFC application in it can simply touch their devices to other similar elements having NFC application to communicate with them, making application and data usage easy and convenient. NFC can be called as the next generation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as technically its working principal is based on RFID however from application point of view it is similar to Bluetooth in some ways since it allows communication between two active devices. NFC can be the future medium of contactless electronic payment as it inhibits eavesdropping on NFC-enabled transactions pertaining to its short range, however range can be extended by attackers using some range extension system. In this paper we briefly discussed the advantages, limits or challenges of NFC technology along with its applications which opens up exciting new usage scenarios for mobile devices.
Near Field Communication (NFC)-Wave is the new way forward
Demonetization and Digitization, these two words rattled and stirred the fabric of the Indian Economy over the past few months and has changed the landscape of the financial industry. These measures by the government though felt inconvenient by the common person at first brought with it an excellent opportunity for technology framework to play a greater role in everyday life. With mobile applications and contactless payments, taking greater precedence than ever, adoption of technologies that bring convenience has become more important than ever. Through this paper, we intend to propose NFC (Near Field Communication) as a mode of communication that could revolutionize and change the way digital payments are made. NFC is a short range, contactless communication system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) infrastructure that enables bi-directional communication between two devices. There has been a lot of progress made in the field of NFC over the recent years and the availab...
Near Field Communication ( NFC
The world of electronics and through the move from one machine to all the multi-purpose devices, by moving from device to network devices. On the other hand, users do not face the complexities and problems of establishing a network of connections between devices and each other. Hence we can set multiple network functions are handled in the computer world, but not in the world of electronics. , Using the protocol (NFCIP-1), according to which users of electronic devices, which provide the use of secure means of communication between various devices without effort is considerable intellectual in the formation of their own network concept is simple striking: According also to communicate between two devices, and bring them together, using Protocol NFCIP-1 and the wireless network to deal with them in the peer Baland and here is the exchange of configuration data using NFC, and here you can not continue with the devices, some of the longer and faster than protocols such as Bluetooth or wireless Ethernet (WiFi).
Secure Smart Embedded Devices, Platforms and Applications, 2013
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is being grown up at enormous speed. NFC technology provides the fastest way to communicate two devices with in a fraction of second. This technology has only been implemented on smart phones so far. Like Bluetooth it works only in short range and data transfer takes place at very low speed. Several security issues are attached with NFC, which is a big concern. Security attacks like eavesdropping, data corruption and modification, interference attacks and theft, are the most dangerous for the customer who is using his/her smart phone for payment purpose. In this paper we present the comparison of NFC with Bluetooth and security analysis of NFC.
