NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION MAKING LIFE EASY Presenter: Grace Chen NFC Technology
What is NFC? NFC = Near Field Communication A short-range wireless connectivity technology Operates at 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
Mobile Payment Architecture
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
