NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows data exchange between devices over short distances typically less than 20 cm. It uses radio frequency identification (RFID) standards to establish communication by bringing two enabled devices in close proximity. Common applications of NFC include contactless payment, data sharing and connectivity with smart posters, tags, or cards. Security is a concern for NFC since communications can potentially be intercepted, though using higher-level encryption protocols can help address this.
On Relaying NFC Payment Transactions using Android devicescgvwzq
NFC (Near Field Communication) defines the set of RFID standards designed to bidirectionally communicate via wireless and interchange data point-to-point between devices in proximity, normally a few centimeters (up to 10cm). Services that use NFC communications as contactless payments are exponentially growing: Public transport, parkings, fast supermarket cashers, vending machines and even NFC-capable credit/debit cards.In this talk, we investigate relay attacks in NFC-capable credit/debit cards. This attack exploits the communication proximity principle in NFC, which is shown to be non secure. Although a lot of attack countermeasures exist, they do not face with this attack vector since up to date special hardware was required to perform it. However, the story is rewritten with the NFC-capable mobile devices available in the market.
This work shows how nowadays a relay attack in NFC-capable credit/debit cards is possible using an NFC-capable Android device without further modifications (i.e., no root permissions, custom firmware, or custom OS are required). A PoC app implementing the attack is shown in the talk, as well as distributed relay attack scenarios that might become real before long.

INTEGRATION OF AN RFID READER TO A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK AND ITS USE TO IDE...ijasuc
The objective of this research is to integrate an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader into a
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to authorize or keep track of people carrying RFID tags. The objective
was accomplished by integrating hardware and software. The hardware consisted of two WSN nodes –
the RFID node connected to one of the WSN nodes, and a computer connected to the other WSN node.
For the RFID equipment, we used the SM130-EK kit, which included the RFID reader and the RFID tags;
and for the WSN, we used the Synapse Network Evaluation kit, which included the two sensor nodes. The
software consisted of a program module developed in Python to control the microprocessors of the
nodes; and a database controlled by a simple program to manage the tag IDs of people wearing them.
The WSN and RFID nodes were connected through I2C interfacing. Also, the work of sending commands
to the RFID node, to make it read a tag and send it back to the computer, was accomplished by the
Python code developed which also controls the data signals. At the computer, the received tag ID is
evaluated with other existing tag IDs on the database, to check if that tag has authorization or not to be
in the covered area. Our research has the potential of being adapted for use with secure real-time access
control applications involving WSN and RFID technologies.

NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC) TECHNOLOGY: A SURVEY IJCI JOURNAL
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 NF
C-compatible device is brought within a few
centimetres of another i.e. around 20 cm theoretica
lly (4cm is practical). The immense benefit of the
short
transmission range is that it prevents eavesdroppin
g on NFC-enabled dealings. NFC technology enables
several innovative usage scenarios for mobile devic
es. NFC technology works on the basis of RFID
technology which uses magnetic field induction to c
ommence communication between electronic devices in
close vicinity. NFC operates at 13.56MHz and has 42
4kbps maximum data transfer rate. NFC is
complementary to Bluetooth and 802.11 with their lo
ng distance capabilities. In card emulation mode NF
C
devices can offer contactless/wireless smart card s
tandard. This technology enables smart phones to
replace traditional plastic cards for the purpose o
f ticketing, payment, etc. Sharing (share files bet
ween
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 detaile
d
manner including working principle, transmission de
tails, protocols and standards, application scenari
os,
future market, security standards and vendor’s chip
sets which are available for this standard. This
comprehensive survey should serve as a useful guide
for students, researchers and academicians who are
interested in NFC Technology and its applications [

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
