LLCPS: A new security framework based on TLS for NFC P2P applications in the Internet of Things

The NFC (Near Field Communication) is a promising technology for the Internet of Things (IoT). It enables proximity communications (a few centimeters) with modest throughputs (hundreds Kbit/s) and low power consumption (a few mW). Although this technology is deployed for payment, access control, transport, or file transfer applications, it does not support a security framework. This demonstration presents Peer to Peer (P2P) transactions protected by a new protocol, LLCPS, i.e. the Logical Link Control protocol (LLCP) secured by TLS. LLCPS should enable a wide range of trusted services for the IoT.
