What is NFC?
NFC or Near Field Communication is a short range high frequency wireless communication technology.
A radio communication is established by touching the two phones or keeping them in a proximity of a few centimetres.
NFC is mainly aimed for mobile or handheld devices.
NFC is an extension of Radio frequency identification or RFID technology.
RFID is mainly used for tracking and identification by sending radio waves.
David Ward's keynote from JavaOne 2011 on how networks are now programmable & intuitive, allowing application developers to access real-time data, geo-loc, and more information from the network through APIs and new protocols.
Near Field Communication (NFC) allows devices to establish radio communication by bringing them into close proximity or by touching them together. NFC can transfer data between devices quickly and easily. Some applications of NFC include mobile payments, ticketing, money transfers, and paying bills. While NFC has a shorter range and lower data transfer rate than Bluetooth, it does not require pairing devices or entering security codes. NFC is designed for intuitive, simple and safe communication between electronic devices.
NFC allows for contactless data exchange between devices within close proximity. It enables a range of applications for consumers and businesses, including payments, transit tickets, access control, and more. NFC operates similarly to RFID and contactless smart cards, using 13.56MHz wireless communication. An NFC ecosystem involves many players, including issuers, carriers, device makers, networks, personalizers, app developers, distributors, merchants, loyalty programs, and offer promoters.

It supports various applications like contactless payment, data transfer between devices with a tap, and access control by bringing an NFC device close to a reader. Mobile handsets are a primary target for NFC integration to enable mobile wallet-based contactless payments without physical cards.
droidcon 2012: What's the Hack is NFC .., Hauke Meyn, NXPDroidcon Berlin
NFC, the intuitive contactless technology is finding its way into more and more mobile phone devices. NFC stands for Near Field Communication and is a contactless technology gearing to massively ease information gathering and content sharing. It's very easy to use and allows short range, point to point communication between NFC enabled devices as well as access to content on passive tags and cards. The presentation will focus to provide a technology introduction, some hints on already available applications with a life demonstration of the technology. We will discuss the use cases driving the technology, the level of NFC integration in Android. The NCF API and it's classes will be presented and last but not least we plan to run a little life coding session to show how easy applications can be enabled and can benefit from NFC.
NFC (Near Field Communication) allows contactless communication between devices within 10cm. It was first developed in 2002 but has seen slow adoption, with only 3% of phones having NFC after 7-8 years. The document discusses NFC's definition, characteristics, environmental changes that may increase usage, future uses, and impacts. Potential future uses include tangible services like access control and ticketing, combined services using NFC to initiate Bluetooth or GPS, and anywhere services that provide information without WiFi or cellular. Widespread adoption of NFC-enabled smartphones and integration into other applications could drive more usage.
NFC allows contactless data transfer between devices within close proximity using radio frequency identification (RFID). It was developed by Nokia, Phillips, and Sony to enable touch-based interactions and communication between objects and devices. NFC works within a range of about 10 cm using magnetic field induction and operates on an unlicensed radio frequency band. It supports various applications including mobile payments, ticketing, access control, and connecting devices by transferring data through touch. While adoption of NFC may take time as payment methods change slowly, it provides a convenient user-friendly interface and compatibility with existing RFID infrastructure.
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that allows data exchange when devices are touched or brought within close proximity. It was established in 2004 by Nokia, Philips, and Sony. NFC provides advantages over other wireless technologies due to its near-field design and ability to establish connections quickly with low power usage. Common applications of NFC include contactless payments, data sharing, and identification. While NFC has benefits like multi-device communication and compatibility without special software, it also has limitations such as a small data transfer rate and working range.

I want to set a context for how NFC be used then get into the technical aspects.Think about all the little things you carry in your wallet – credit cards, health cards, loyalty cards – Now let me ask you this Do you think your mobile phone will become your virtual wallet?So let me tell you a story that exemplifies what this may look like in your future:Use Case Details As per above diagramLet’s take my friend friend Mike gets on a train to go to his office.He sees a poster announcing a free concert this evening. He touches his NFC Mobile Phone to the NFC mark on the poster and transfers the detailed information onto his phone. He reserves seats for the concert with his mobile phone, using mobile communications (e.g., SMS, internet, packet-based connections), to receive thecomplimentary tickets. He sends a text message to his wife to invite her to the concert and dinner.When he arrives at his office, he touches his NFC Mobile Phone to the office gate and opens the door.At lunch time, he pays for his meal using one of the credit cards stored in his phoneusing NFC tap-and-go at the POS register in the cafeteriaAfter lunch, he visits the office of his new business partner for a meeting. Those attending the meeting exchange their business cards stored in their NFC Mobile Phones by touching their phones together.He meets his wife at 6 PM, and they go to the concert venue. He touches his NFC Mobile Phone to a turnstile at the entrance to the concert, their reservations are confirmed, and they are admitted.They visit a shopping center after the concert, where they go shopping and have dinner.When they arrive at their house, he realizes that he has left his NFC Mobile Phone on the train. He immediately calls the mobile network operator and makes a request to disable all active NFC services in the phone. If his NFC Mobile Phone is later found, he will be able to reactivate these services.Alright so let’s move on to how NFC works
Talk to the slide – note if you’re familiar with RFID technology you’ll see there is some similarity – on NFC has considerably more capabilities due to it’s two way nature.NFC IntroductionIts a standards-based wireless communication technologySmall operating distance at around 10 cmBased on RFID technology at 13.56 MHzData exchange rate up to 424 Kbits/secondNFC is distinguished by its intuitive interface and its ability to enable largely proprietary wireless networking platforms to interoperate in a seamless manner.NFC is compatible with, and incorporates a range of existing RFID standards providing interoperability with contactless payments and ticketing infrastructure.The primary uses of NFC are to:Connect electronic devices, such as wireless components in a home office system or a headset with a mobile phoneAccess digital content, using a wireless device such as a mobile phone to read a “smart” poster embedded with an RF tagMake contactless transactions, including those for payment, access and ticketingSTOP HERENFC HistoryRFID has restriction that it is a one-way communication standard; from the code to the reader.This restriction was resolved in the 1990’s with new NFC standard which was jointly developed by Philips and Sony. But this standard was only acknowledged by the ISO organization in 2003 and from that moment became an open standard for two way contactless communications.The critical developments of two-way communications, faster data transfer speed and increased data security have made an explosive growth in the use of contactless technology for payments. However, because of the interactive communication opportunities offered by the two-way capabilities of NFC, this technology only offers its full potential when used with an interactive device such as a mobile phone.
There are different ways or Modes operation that can be programmed into a NFC applicationNFC Operating ModesReader ModeAccess information on the move like content distribution, information access, think of it as smart advertising (think of examples here) TAP and GO …The NFC device is capable of reading NFC Forum mandated tag types, such as in the scenario of reading an NFC Smartposter tag. The reader/writer mode is on the RF interface compliant to the ISO 14443 and the contactless RFID smart card standard call Felcity card or FeliCa schemesNFC Card Emulation Mode – (This is secure mode)Make contactless transactions like mobile payment, ticketing, access control, transit, top-ups, toll-gateThe NFC device itself acts as an NFC tag, appearing to an external reader much the same as a traditional contactless smart card. This enables contactless payments and eticketing, for example.Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Mode Communication connectivity like data transfer, fast, easy and convenient device association, setup & configurationTwo NFC devices can exchange data. For example, you can share Bluetooth or WiFi link set up parameters, and exchange data such as virtual business cards or digital photos. Peer-to-Peer mode is standardized on the ISO/IEC 18092 standard.
How doesNFC compares to the other short-range communication technologies? The above table provides a quick comparison:When compared to the other short-range radio technologies, NFC is extremely short ranged and what I call people-centric. Some of the other short-range communication technologies have similar characteristics, for example RFID, while others are completely different yet complimentary to NFC; for example Bluetooth and Infrared.A good scenario of such compliment is the combination of NFC and Bluetooth, where NFC is used for pairing (authenticating) a Bluetooth session used for the transfer of data.
So let’s summarize the Benefits here … You may be sitting there wondering WHY Would I need this? We’ll be talking about that shortly.Intuitive: NFC interactions require no more than a simple touch.Security-ready: NFC has built-in capabilities to support secure applications.Versatile: NFC is ideally suited to the broadest range of industries, environments, and uses.Technology-enabling: NFC facilitates fast and simple setup of wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi.Interoperable: NFC works with existing contactless card technologies.Inherently secure: NFC transmissions are short range (from a touch to a few centimeters).Open and standards-based: The underlying layers of NFC technology follow universally implemented ISO, ECMA, and ETSI standards.
A NFC enabled phone is only part of a bigger picture or ecosystem of interconnections of devices and stakeholders that are needed to make it all work – each stakeholder having their own motivations for allowing use of NFC capabilities
NFC Ecosystem which shows different stakeholders which includes ecosystem players and players who provides key functionalities for this ecosystem like TSM(Trusted Service Manager) and MNO (Mobile Network Operator)
NFC EcosystemAs shown by the arrows in the diagram, the current contactless business domain is expanding into domains including NFC mobile business opportunities.In some mass market businesses such as transport or payment, a contactless infrastructure already exists in a growing number of schemes, and users have some experience with those contactless services.The NFC Mobile Phone will enhance these existing services and provide opportunities for new revenue sources.The NFC Mobile Ecosystem can be built as a new marketplace, and its success depends on the win-win relationships among all the stakeholders.The NFC Mobile Ecosystem extends the current contactless ecosystem model with additional functionality.

There is often confusion and overlap between a mobile payment, mobile banking, and the use of the mobile phone to simply order goods or receive delivery while paying by other means. Below is the correct definition of Mobile Payment Mobile payment: a payment, defined as a transfer of funds in return for a good or service, where the mobile phone is involved in both the initiation and confirmation of the payment. The location of the payer and supporting infrastructure is not important: he may or may not be ‘mobile’ or ‘on the move’ or at a Point of Sale (PoS); the payment may be processed by credit cards or by a prepaid wallet. Example: funds are transferred and deducted from the prepaid amount or billed by the MNO.Mobile Payment - Stakeholder ExpectationConsumer ExpectationsPersonalized serviceMinimal learning curveTrust, privacy and securityUbiquitous – anywhere, anytime and any currencyLow or zero cost of usageInteroperability between different network operators, banks and devicesAnonymity of payments like cashPeer to peer transfersMerchantFaster transaction timeLow or zero cost in using the systemIntegration with existing payment systemsHigh securityBeing able to customize the serviceReal time status of the mobile payment serviceBanksNetwork operator independent solutionsPayment applications designed by the bankExceptional branding opportunities for banksBetter volumes in banking – more card payments and less cash transactionsCustomer loyaltyTelecom network providersGenerating new income by increase in trafficIncreased Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and reduced churn (increased loyalty)Become an attractive partner to content providersMobile Device ManufacturerLarge market adoption with embedded mobile payment applicationIncrease in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)GovernmentRevenue through taxation of m-paymentsStandardsFraud managementMobile Payment - BenefitsReduce cost and cash usageServe under-banked geographiesNetwork Operators ROI through increase in air-time and data usageExtra revenue through mobile paymentsPossible diversification into other areas of the consumer’s needs and lifestyleMerchantsFaster throughput at the checkoutSend real time marketing messagesConsumerMobile device fulfills multi functionsConvenience

Imagine NO Check out line (everThe cornerstone of the new NFC-based retail solution is the checkout and payment process, where most benefits can be realized. To reach the targeted results solution will support connectivity to other NFC devices, such as a smart shopping cart, and also leverage the integrated security architecture.How NFC works in Retail SolutionProduct data of smart tagged merchandize will be captured by a smart shopping cart, being connected to the back office system of the store. Here the EPC product information is turned into pricing information and is returned to the cart or the customer’s handset.Customer performs payment either directly to the shopping cart or at special payment terminals anywhere in the stores.The payment information is transmitted to the back office system and also to the integrated security system of the store.After the payment customer may leave the store without any further personal interaction.When exiting, the smart tags are going to be deactivated by the security gates.BenefitsAs a result of the new check-out and payment solution, crowded check-out counters can be avoided improving customer satisfaction and also increasing store capacity. With the proposed NFC-based logistics the check-out and payment transaction becomes and individual activity, eliminating the need for staying in line, and the long wait till others finish their own transactions.NFC-enabled mobile handsets will also support functions such as loyalty applications, product authentication, capturing product information, etc.Source http://www.stolpan.com/index.phpStoLPaN (‘Store Logistics and Payment with NFC’) is a pan-European consortium supported by the European Commission’s Information Society Technologies program. StoLPaN will examine the as yet untapped potential for the new kind of local wireless interface, NFC and mobile communication.
Purpose is this summary?
When you begin thinking about a mobile app strategy that incorporates NFC you can use these general guidelines to refine your thinking process.Would your app be more useful if you could speed up transaction time?Would you benefit or use interoperability
There are 7 Commonly known threats to NFC security are:Eavesdropping, where the third party receiving a signal using the antennaUnwanted activation, which is somewhat similar to eavesdropping. Third party attacker tries to activate the card without the owner’s knowledgeData Corruption, or modifying the data which was transmitted using NFC device using the valid frequencyData Modification, where the attacker is sending valid, but altered data to the receiving NFC deviceData Insertion, where attacker tries to insert a new message into a NFC communicationMan-in-The-Middle-Attack, where two parties who want to establish communication are tricked into communicating with or via the third party which is therefore enabled to record the entire conversationDenial of service, where the attacker tries to interfere with the RF field, in order to prevent the transactionThe point here is you will need to research of of these threats to see how they might be used to compromise a NFC enabled smartphone and app.
