4. What is NFC ?
◇NFC is a wireless communication interface with a
working distance limited to about 10 cm.
◇ It allows for simplified transactions, data
exchange, and wireless connections between two
devices in proximity to each other.
5. Based on the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID),
it uses magnetic field induction to enable
communication between electronic devices.
The number of short-range applications for NFC
technology is growing continuously, appearing in all
areas of life. Especially the use in conjunction with
mobile phones offers great opportunities.
8. Evolution of NFC
◇ In 2004, NFC Forum
was formed by Nokia,
Philips, Sony,to set
standards for NFC .
Every NFC enabled
device will have “N-
Mark” trademark
,developed by NFC
Forum.
◇ In 2006,
First mobile phone(
nokia 6131) with NFC
released by NOKIA
◇In 2010
First android phone
SAMSUNG NEXUS S
with NFC support
released.

18. DISADVANTAGES OF NFC
◇The system has the limitation that it can be operated
only with devices under a short range i.e around
10cm.
◇The data transfer rate is very less at about 106kbps to
424kbps.

21. What are the risks?
◇Privacy
■What data is being captured, processed or stored?
■Information Privacy and security rules apply!
◇Security
■If you capture store or process data, you have to protect it.
■Lost smart phones are now an exposure. Can you shut them
down remotely?
◇Sentinel Hacking
■A hacker can establish a “sentinel” tag, fixed in one place, to
receive and download information from passing smartphones.
■Loss of privacy
■Loss of financial inft card #s
22. Other Issues/Points to Note
◇NFC can be success without RFID
◇Limited by available places to use; but – contactless payment
infrastructure rollout not dependent on NFC
◇Consumer expectations are for convenience & ease of use, even when
battery off
◇Control of Secure Element
■Phone chipset/financial institutions vs SIM/MNO’s
■Who pays fees to whom & what will they be to encourage deployment?
