State of the Art for Near Field Communication: Security and Privacy within the Field

This chapter provides an overview of near field communication (NFC) technology. It first introduces the technology and gives a brief history. It examines what the technology is and how it works. It looks at the various operation modes and hardware architectures available for the technology. This is followed by some examples in use of the technology today, in particular NFC in use in the mobile payments environment. The chapter then focuses on NFC technology from the perspective of security and privacy of personal information when using the technology. Finally, the chapter looks at the security and privacy challenges that are currently faced by the technology and suggests some possible solutions to these challenges.
