NFC Technology NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION MAKING LIFE EASY Presenter: Grace Chen
What is NFC? NFC = Near Field Communication • A short-range wireless connectivity technology • Operates at 13.56 Mhz • Based on RFID technology • Data transfer rate: up to 424 kbits/second • Reader & Tag communicate • Promoted by the NFC-Forum
Comparison with other Wireless Networks • Advantages: • Quick setup time (<0.1ms ) • Short range distance (up to 10cm) • Does not require line of site • Backward compatibility • Consumer experience
NFC Use Cases • Connect Electronic Devices • Exchange data • Simple, secure pairing e.g. Bluetooth • Access Information • Advertisements • Identification Cards • Mobile transactions • Contactless payment • Mobile ticketing
NFC Use Cases • Phone = Keys, ID card, Wallet
NFC Challenges • Security • Eavesdropping, Data corruption • Solution: Establish secure channel • NFC ecosystem • Technology already in-place • Monetization issues • Operators, Handset Manufacturers, Banks • Solution: Market push, agreement
Future Work • Mobile Payment infrastructure • Goals: Security, Openness, Interoperability • New NFC use cases • Location sensing • Supply Chains • Multiple Tags
