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.
The User Experience of Near Field CommunicationMemi Beltrame
The information age took us by storm and the mobile revolution is still in full effect – yet we already stand on the brink of the next paradigm shift: the seamless connection of information and personal devices. Imagine a world where you have the possibility of giving your devices context by simply holding them close to a tiny chip. Things like sharing your WiFi credentials or telling your mobile phone that you are going to bed and it should mute and dim itself and also set the alarm clock to 7am. All with one simple touch — Welcome to the world of Near Field Communication. This talk focuses on the amazing possibilities of NFC in everyday use. A variety of actual and (once) futuristic use cases will illustrate how NFC can enrich our experiences with technology and how this relates to our profession of User Experience Design and our role in shaping the future.

NFC is based on a short-range wireless connectivity, designed for simple and safe interaction between electronic devices. It is easy to use wireless communication interface for last few centimetres . Connection between two devices is established just by holding the devices close to each other or touch them together.
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 [

Techniques to Minimize State Transfer Cost for Dynamic Execution Offloading I...IJERA Editor
The recent advancement in cloud computing in cloud computing is leading to and excessive growth of the mobile devices that can become powerful means for the information access and mobile applications. This introducing a latent technology called Mobile cloud computing. Smart phone device supports wide range of mobile applications which require high computational power, memory, storage and energy but these resources are limited in number so act as constraints in smart phone devices. With the integration of cloud computing and mobile applications it is possible to overcome these constraints by offloading the complex modules on cloud. These restrictions may be alleviated by computation offloading: sending heavy computations to resourceful servers and receiving the results from these servers. Many issues related to offloading have been investigated in the past decade.
Hybrid distributed application in banking transaction using remote method inv...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Today banks have many branches in big cities of the world. System usually used a central database in a particular city. Increased of database server performance due to number of users accessing this application should not degrade performance of application. To keep database server performance optimally, application must distributed to the network. In distributed applications it takes a remote method call, that is why we are going to used Remote Method Invocation to develop this system. Based on results of analysis conducted, author can draw following conclusion of the application, which is once the client get a reference from the remote object then method of remote object is called like calling method from local object and methods that we have defined and implemented on remote object can we call or use both on desktop and web applications so we do not need to work twice. This approach makes more effective and efficient in application development, allows for better optimization, eliminates the need for processing of type information at run time and makes a light weight communication protocol possible. We have built a hybrid application, which supports both compile time and run time generation of marshallers in desktop and web application.
