1. NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION MAKING LIFE EASY Presenter: Grace Chen NFC Technology

2. 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

3. Comparison with other Wireless Networks

4. Advantages:  Quick setup time (<0.1ms )  Short range distance (up to 10cm)  Does not require line of site  Backward compatibility  Consumer experience

5. 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

6. NFC Use Cases Phone = Keys, ID card, Wallet

7. Mobile Payment Architecture

8. 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

9. Future Work Mobile Payment infrastructure  Goals: Security, Openness, Interoperability New NFC use cases  Location sensing  Supply Chains  Multiple Tags
