Smart Home Security through NFC
Bonfring International Journal of Software Engineering and Soft Computing, 2016
Inspired by the "Smart India" initiative, here we present you with our own idea of a Smart Home for the Smart India. As of now most of the people forget their keys in a hurry but no one forgets his Smartphone. So why not to make the smartphone as your security network to control your door? So now the security network can be governed by an NFC present in your phone or by programming an NFC tag to control your smart lock. NFC is known as Near Field Communication but it is limited to a distance of 10 cm maximum for the device to act. So just you need is a Smartphone with NFC and control your door lock with it. It's very secure because NFC tags programmed to the lock can be ciphered and other than you no one can open it. If someone tries to open the lock with brute force the owner can be alarmed immediately.
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.

Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology: A Survey
Near Field Communication, NFC-is one of the latest short range wireless communication technologies. NFC provides safe communication between electronic gadgets. NFC-enabled devices can just be pointed or touched by the users of their devices to other NFC-enabled devices to communicate with them. With NFC technology, communication is established when an NFC-compatible device is brought within a few centimetres of another i.e. around 20 cm theoretically (4cm is practical). The immense benefit of the short transmission range is that it prevents eavesdropping on NFC-enabled dealings. NFC technology enables several innovative usage scenarios for mobile devices. NFC technology works on the basis of RFID technology which uses magnetic field induction to commence communication between electronic devices in close vicinity. NFC operates at 13.56MHz and has 424kbps maximum data transfer rate. NFC is complementary to Bluetooth and 802.11 with their long distance capabilities. In card emulation mode NFC devices can offer contactless/wireless smart card standard. This technology enables smart phones to replace traditional plastic cards for the purpose of ticketing, payment, etc. Sharing (share files between phones), service discovery i.e. get information by touching smart phones etc. are other possible applications of NFC using smart phones. This paper provides an overview of NFC technology in a detailed manner including working principle, transmission details, protocols and standards, application scenarios, future market, security standards and vendor's chipsets which are available for this standard.
