Introduction
Near Field Communication (NFC) also known as the short distance wireless communication, is a kind of short distance wireless communication technology with high frequency. It provides for non-contact peer-to-peer data transmission between electronic equipment in 10cm. It is widely used in our life, such as HOP card, Fly buys VISA card, and mobile phone. For our business, as a just about 10 staff small company, it is also useful. It can be used in our sign in for tracking employee attendance. And we can use it in our VIP card for our members. NFC technology also has great influence on the modern marketing. Our customer can simply use the NFC mobile phone flick on NFC posters and advertising, and can immediately obtain our product or service information. The Near Field Communication (NFC) is a suitable access control system technology, the wireless communication standard equipment data exchange among several centimetres in the distance. NFC is also fully consistent with the contactless smart card ISO standard management; this is the significant characteristics of the ideal platform. http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%BF%91%E5%A0%B4%E9%80%9A%E8%A8%8A http://android.265g.com/huati/2683.html NFC Technology
What is Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is a kind of short distance wireless communication technology. It was created by Philips and Sony Corp in 2003. And it is based on RFID and interconnects technology. At first NFC technology was mainly used to provide phone and other handheld machine to machine devices communication. The NFC chip has mutual communication function, data exchange, and computing ability. Therefore, NFC technology is considered to have extensive applica...

So far, people have not opened now the perfect thing. NFC is no exception. There are some problems in NFC tchonoloy.
At first, the short distance is a problem. NFC just provides 10cm for the longest transmission distance. It means people should get the equipments together to do the transmission. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/near-field-communication5.htm For another problem is about being stolen. NFC equipment is easy to carry. And they are also easy stolen. Because of the easy way, the data in NFC equipment is easily used by others. NFC equipment once lost which the data will be easily got or used by others.
wireless communication got a lot of attention when a message was transmitted that allowed for
With all the potential doomsday scenarios that critics like to associate with the use of RFID systems, why would anybody even consider doing this? This is because RFID systems offer three distinct advantages over traditional identification systems:
There has been significant technological advancements over the past few decades that have revolutionized the way we live and conduct business. Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID is an example of an electronic data interchange network that has helped shape the global world in which we live. The applications of RFID technology has impacted the military, health industries, supply chain management, logistics and agriculture. There is a vast array by which RFID technology is used around us on a daily basis without us even realizing it.
Now let us step to the other side of the Merchant counter as a consumer and realize how RFID can benefit the average person. Have you ever felt impatient when standing behind someone in line at the grocery store who insisted on paying by check? Well, get ready to get agitated at the slowpoke of the future—the techno challenged person using a credit card. Contactless cards, already used in Asia for several transit and payment systems, have been introduced to the United States via pilot programs sponsored by American Express and MasterCard. Thes...
Also, the crime in the area that use the tracking devices could go down because people know that they are being watched. Not to mention, that even though this can lead to other people hacking into other devices to find out personal information, we are coming up with ways to prevent this so everyone is safe. This proves that tracking devices can help solve many world wide problems. So, because there has been a lot of crimes and disappearances, we need this sort of technology in the world to help solve these problems. But first, we have to trust the people that hold the technology in their hands. If we do that, then we can help solve to
Since RFID tags can be attached to clothing, possessions, or even implanted within people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised privacy concerns.
Studies have shown that there are ways and means of reading the information on the cards or passports. This can be done through a RFID scanner but also through an app that can be downloaded to a smart phone and easily accessible. With the app, you can read the information wirelessly which proves that you are at an even higher risk of advanced technology theft. According to the studies of David Skillicorn, the thief only has to be a few inches away in order to scan your card. Banks have stated that this is a huge financial risk.
A: Based on our internal research, consumers nowadays are increasingly savvy and price conscious. Most are discerning enough to trade “good-to-have” features for products that offer outstanding value. Take NFC for example, it is a brilliant concept for automating pairing, but is still very sensitive and difficult to use in

"The hype around open-loop, supply chain applications four or five years ago created an awareness of RFID," says Chris Schaefer, director of RFID product marketing at Motorola Enterprise Mobility. "This awareness, over time, has led companies to consider what RFID can do within their own four walls, with a closed-loop RFID application." According to Schaefer, IT asset management is one way in which companies are using closed-loop RFID. "Items such as company laptops and storage tapes are not only expensive, but can contain sensitive information the company needs to protect," says Schaefer. Rather than using spreadsheets or user logs to track this equipment, a company can deploy RFID to do so. Using RFID in this instance is a more secure way of tracing where equipment is and who has been using it, which can save money on lost equipment and keep sensitive data more secure.
One way to help keep credit and debit card information secure is through the use of smart cards, specifically EMV cards with microchip technology versus the magnetic stripe. In this paper we will discuss what smart cards are and how they work, how they increase security, and how they differ from our current magnetic stripe cards.
Digital money is undeniably convenient; anyone who has used a credit or debit card understands this. However, the era of digital money is only beginning; rapid technological advances will continue to make paper money a remnant of the past. Several innovations are already lessening the burden in your wallet. For instance, the seemingly innocuous mobile phone is actually playing an increasing role in facilitating monetary transactions, especially in Asia. Already, in Japan, large companies such as Coca-Cola have sanctioned vending machines that are not only compatible with common cell phones but also allow consumers to earn credits for using them (Kupetz). In this regard, the United States is strikingly behind the times when compared to other countries. Another new technology in the vein of mobile phones is no-contact cards. These innovative cards do not require a cashier to conduct a transaction; one simply holds a specia...
The debate on whether the increasing implementation of RFID is constantly going back and forth. As the technology has found its way into licenses and passports. The continuing theme of this, is that the RFID in various forms of identification will allow certain authorized individuals the ability to access information on a specific person and have resources such a criminal record, known aliases, or any other information that might protect against a security threat. Although the basic belief is that only having simple basic information stored on RFID tags is harmless, the truth is that even the most simplest of data can eventually become important. Tadayoshi Kohno thinks the security of information should be taken seriously, “Information and uses evolve over time and these things can reveal more than we initially expect.” (Naone, pg 73)
The present technology has found its use in almost every sector making the industries, businesses and institutions to use it for their daily activities since it brings a lot of benefits.
