TheSecure Element chip, an NFC chip that contains data such as the Secure Element identifier (SEID) for secure transactions. This chip is commonly found in smartphones and other NFC devices.
Near-field communication (NFC) is a set ofcommunication protocols that enablescommunication between two electronic devices over a distance of 4 cm (1+1⁄2 in) or less.[1] NFC offers a low-speed connection through a simple setup that can be used for thebootstrapping of capable wireless connections.[2] Like otherproximity card technologies, NFC is based oninductive coupling between twoelectromagnetic coils present on a NFC-enabled device such as asmartphone. NFC communicating in one or both directions uses a frequency of 13.56 MHz in the globally available unlicensedradio frequencyISM band, compliant with theISO/IEC 18000-3 air interface standard at data rates ranging from 106 to 848 kbit/s.
TheNFC Forum has helped define and promote the technology, setting standards for certifying device compliance.[3][4] Secure communications are available by applying encryption algorithms as is done for credit cards[5] and if they fit the criteria for being considered apersonal area network.[6]
NFC standards cover communications protocols and data exchange formats and are based on existingradio-frequency identification (RFID) standards includingISO/IEC 14443 andFeliCa.[7] The standards include ISO/IEC 18092[8] and those defined by the NFC Forum. In addition to the NFC Forum, theGSMA group defined a platform for the deployment of GSMA NFC Standards[9] within mobile handsets. GSMA's efforts include Trusted Services Manager,[10][11]Single Wire Protocol, testing/certification and secure element.[12] NFC-enabled portable devices can be provided withapplication software, for example to read electronic tags or make payments when connected to an NFC-compliant system. These are standardized to NFC protocols, replacing proprietary technologies used by earlier systems.
A patent licensing program for NFC is under deployment by France Brevets, a patent fund created in 2011. This program was under development by Via Licensing Corporation, an independent subsidiary ofDolby Laboratories, and was terminated in May 2012.[13] A platform-independentfree and open source NFC library,libnfc, is available under theGNU Lesser General Public License.[14][15]
Present and anticipated applications include contactless transactions, data exchange and simplified setup of more complex communications such asWi-Fi.[16] In addition, when one of the connected devices has Internet connectivity, the other can exchange data with online services.[citation needed]
Near-field communication (NFC) technology not only supports data transmission but also enables wireless charging, providing a dual-functionality that is particularly beneficial for small, portable devices. The NFC Forum has developed a specific wireless charging specification, known as NFC Wireless Charging (WLC), which allows devices to charge with up to 1W of power over distances of up to2 cm (3⁄4 in).[17] This capability is especially suitable for smaller devices like earbuds, wearables, and other compact Internet of Things (IoT) appliances.[17]
Compared to the more widely knownQi wireless charging standard by theWireless Power Consortium, which offers up to 15W of power over distances up to4 cm (1+5⁄8 in), NFC WLC provides a lower power output but benefits from a significantly smaller antenna size.[17] This makes NFC WLC an ideal solution for devices where space is at a premium and high power charging is less critical.[17]
The NFC Forum also facilitates a certification program, labeled as Test Release 13.1 (TR13.1), ensuring that products adhere to the WLC 2.0 specification. This certification aims to establish trust and consistency across NFC implementations, minimizing risks for manufacturers and providing assurance to consumers about the reliability and functionality of their NFC-enabled wireless charging devices.[17]
NFC is rooted inradio-frequency identification technology (known as RFID) which allows compatible hardware to both supply power to and communicate with an otherwise unpowered and passive electronic tag using radio waves. This is used for identification, authentication andtracking. Similar ideas in advertising and industrial applications were not generally successful commercially, outpaced by technologies such asQR codes,barcodes andUHFRFID tags.[citation needed]

Ultra-wideband (UWB) another radio technology has been hailed as a future possible alternatives to NFC technology due to further distances of data transmission, as well as Bluetooth and wireless technology.[55]
NFC is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a separation of10 cm (3+7⁄8 in) or less. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz onISO/IEC 18000-3 air interface and at rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 424 kbit/s. NFC always involves an initiator and a target; the initiator actively generates anRF field that can power a passive target. This enables NFC targets to take very simple form factors such as unpowered tags, stickers, key fobs, or cards. NFC peer-to-peer communication is possible, provided both devices are powered.[56]
NFC tags contain data and are typically read-only, but may be writable. They can be custom-encoded by their manufacturers or use NFC Forum specifications. The tags can securely store personal data such as debit and credit card information, loyalty program data, PINs and networking contacts, among other information. The NFC Forum defines five types of tags that provide different communication speeds and capabilities in terms of configurability, memory, security,data retention and write endurance.[57]
As withproximity card technology, NFC usesinductive coupling between two nearbyloop antennas effectively forming an air-coretransformer. Because the distances involved are tiny compared to thewavelength ofelectromagnetic radiation (radio waves) of that frequency (about 22 metres), the interaction is described asnear field. An alternatingmagnetic field is the main coupling factor and almost no power is radiated in the form ofradio waves (which are electromagnetic waves, also involving an oscillatingelectric field); that minimises interference between such devices and any radio communications at the same frequency or with other NFC devices much beyond its intended range. NFC operates within the globally available and unlicensedradio frequencyISM band of 13.56 MHz. Most of the RF energy is concentrated in the ±7 kHz bandwidth allocated for that band, but the emission'sspectral width can be as wide as 1.8 MHz[58] in order to support high data rates.
Working distance with compact standard antennas and realistic power levels could be up to about20 cm (7+7⁄8 in) (but practically speaking, working distances never exceed10 cm or3+7⁄8 in). Note that because the pickup antenna may be quenched in aneddy current by nearby metallic surfaces, the tags may require a minimum separation from such surfaces.[59]
The ISO/IEC 18092 standard supports data rates of 106, 212 or 424kbit/s.
The communication takes place between an active "initiator" device and a target device which may either be:
Passive
The initiator device provides a carrier field and the target device, acting as atransponder, communicates by modulating the incident field. In this mode, the target device may draw its operating power from the initiator-provided magnetic field.
Active
Both initiator and target device communicate by alternately generating their own fields. A device stops transmitting in order to receive data from the other. This mode requires that both devices include power supplies.
NFC employs two differentcodings to transfer data. If an active device transfers data at 106 kbit/s, a modifiedMiller coding with 100 percentmodulation is used. In all other casesManchester coding is used with a modulation ratio of 10 percent.
Every active NFC device can work in one or more of three modes:
NFC card emulation
Enables NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones to act like smart cards, allowing users to perform transactions such as payment or ticketing. SeeHost card emulation
NFC reader/writer
Enables NFC-enabled devices to read information stored on inexpensive NFC tags embedded in labels or smart posters.
NFC peer-to-peer
Enables two NFC-enabled devices to communicate with each other to exchange information in anad hoc fashion.
NFC tags are passive data stores which can be read, and under some circumstances written to, by an NFC device. They typically contain data (as of 2015[update] between 96 and 8,192 bytes) and are read-only in normal use, but may be rewritable. Applications include secure personal data storage (e.g.debit orcredit card information,loyalty program data,personal identification numbers (PINs), contacts). NFC tags can be custom-encoded by their manufacturers or use the industry specifications.
Although the range of NFC is limited to a few centimeters, standard plain NFC is not protected againsteavesdropping and can be vulnerable to data modifications. Applications may use higher-layercryptographic protocols to establish a secure channel.
The RF signal for the wireless data transfer can be picked up with antennas. The distance from which an attacker is able to eavesdrop the RF signal depends on multiple parameters, but is typically less than 10 meters.[60] Also, eavesdropping is highly affected by the communication mode. A passive device that doesn't generate its own RF field is much harder to eavesdrop on than an active device. An attacker can typically eavesdrop within 10 m of an active device and 1 m for passive devices.[61]
Because NFC devices usually includeISO/IEC 14443 protocols,relay attacks are feasible.[62][63][64][page needed] For this attack the adversary forwards the request of the reader to the victim and relays its answer to the reader in real time, pretending to be the owner of the victim's smart card. This is similar to aman-in-the-middle attack.[62] Onelibnfc code example demonstrates a relay attack using two stock commercial NFC devices. This attack can be implemented using only two NFC-enabled mobile phones.[65]
NFC standards cover communications protocols and data exchange formats, and are based on existing RFID standards includingISO/IEC 14443 andFeliCa.[7] The standards include ISO/IEC 18092[8] and those defined by the NFC Forum.
NFC is standardized in ECMA-340 and ISO/IEC 18092. These standards specify the modulation schemes, coding, transfer speeds and frame format of the RF interface of NFC devices, as well as initialization schemes and conditions required for data collision-control during initialization for both passive and active NFC modes. They also define thetransport protocol, including protocol activation and data-exchange methods. The air interface for NFC is standardized in:
ISO/IEC 18092 / ECMA-340—Near Field Communication Interface and Protocol-1 (NFCIP-1)[66]
ISO/IEC 21481 / ECMA-352—Near Field Communication Interface and Protocol-2 (NFCIP-2)[67]
NFC incorporates a variety of existing standards includingISO/IEC 14443 Type A and Type B, andFeliCa (also simply named F or NFC-F). NFC-enabled phones work at a basic level with existing readers. In "card emulation mode" an NFC device should transmit, at a minimum, a unique ID number to a reader. In addition, NFC Forum defined a common data format calledNFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) that can store and transport items ranging from anyMIME-typed object to ultra-short RTD-documents,[68] such asURLs. The NFC Forum added theSimple NDEF Exchange Protocol (SNEP) to the spec that allows sending and receiving messages between two NFC devices.[69]
TheGSM Association (GSMA) is a trade association representing nearly 800 mobile telephony operators and more than 200 product and service companies across 219 countries. Many of its members have led NFC trials and are preparing services for commercial launch.[70]
GSM is involved with several initiatives:
Standards: GSMA is developing certification and testing standards to ensure global interoperability of NFC services.[70]
Pay-Buy-Mobile initiative: Seeks to define a common global approach to using NFC technology to link mobile devices with payment and contactless systems.[71][72]
On November 17, 2010, after two years of discussions, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile launched ajoint venture to develop a platform through whichpoint of sale payments could be made using NFC in cell phones. Initially known as Isis Mobile Wallet and later asSoftcard, the venture was designed to usher in broad deployment of NFC technology, allowing their customers' NFC-enabled cell phones to function similarly to credit cards throughout the US. Following an agreement with—andIP purchase by—Google, the Softcard payment system was shuttered in March, 2015, with an endorsement for its earlier rival,Google Wallet.[73]
StoLPaN (Store Logistics and Payment with NFC) is a pan-European consortium supported by theEuropean Commission'sInformation Society Technologies program. StoLPaN will examine the potential for NFC local wireless mobile communication.[74]
NFC Forum is a non-profit industry association formed on March 18, 2004, byNXP Semiconductors,Sony andNokia to advance the use of NFC wireless interaction in consumer electronics, mobile devices and PCs. Its specifications include the five distinct tag types that provide different communication speeds and capabilities covering flexibility, memory, security, data retention and write endurance. NFC Forum promotes implementation and standardization of NFC technology to ensure interoperability between devices and services. As of January 2020, the NFC Forum had over 120 member companies.[75]
GSMA defined a platform for the deployment of GSMA NFC Standards[9] within mobile handsets. GSMA's efforts include,[76]Single Wire Protocol, testing and certification and secure element.[12] The GSMA standards surrounding the deployment of NFC protocols (governed byNFC Forum) on mobile handsets are neither exclusive nor universally accepted. For example, Google's deployment ofHost Card Emulation onAndroid KitKat provides for software control of a universal radio. In this HCE Deployment[77] the NFC protocol is leveraged without the GSMA standards.
Other standardization bodies involved in NFC include:
ETSI / SCP (Smart Card Platform) to specify the interface between the SIM card and the NFC chipset.
EMVCo for the impacts on the EMV payment applications
NFC allows one- and two-way communication between endpoints, suitable for many applications.
NFC devices can act as electronicidentity documents andkeycards.[2] They are used incontactless payment systems and allowmobile payment replacing or supplementing systems such as credit cards andelectronic ticket smart cards. These are sometimes calledNFC/CTLS orCTLS NFC, withcontactless abbreviated asCTLS. NFC can be used to share small files such as contacts and for bootstrapping fast connections to share larger media such as photos, videos, and other files.[78]
NFC devices can be used in contactless payment systems, similar to those used in credit cards andelectronic ticket smart cards, and allow mobile payment to replace/supplement these systems.
InAndroid 4.4, Google introduced platform support for secure NFC-based transactions throughHost Card Emulation (HCE), for payments, loyalty programs, card access, transit passes and other custom services. HCE allows any Android 4.4 app to emulate an NFC smart card, letting users initiate transactions with their device. Apps can use a new Reader Mode to act as readers for HCE cards and other NFC-based transactions.
On September 9, 2014,Apple announced support for NFC-powered transactions as part ofApple Pay.[79] With the introduction of iOS 11, Apple devices allow third-party developers to read data from NFC tags.[80]
As of 2022, there are five major NFC apps available in the UK: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Barclays Contactless Mobile and Fitbit Pay. The UK Finance's UK Payment Markets Summary 2021 looked at Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay and found 17.3 million UK adults had registered for mobile payment (up 75% from the year before) and of those, 84% had made a mobile payment.[81]
NFC offers a low-speed connection with simple setup that can be used tobootstrap more capablewireless connections.[2] For example,Android Beam software uses NFC to enable pairing and establish a Bluetooth connection when doing a file transfer and then disabling Bluetooth on both devices upon completion.[82] Nokia, Samsung, BlackBerry and Sony[83] have used NFC technology to pair Bluetooth headsets, media players and speakers with one tap.[84] The same principle can be applied to the configuration of Wi-Fi networks.Samsung Galaxy devices have a feature namedS-Beam—an extension of Android Beam that uses NFC (to shareMAC address andIP addresses) and then usesWi-Fi Direct to share files and documents. The advantage of using Wi-Fi Direct over Bluetooth is that it permits much faster data transfers, running up to 300 Mbit/s.[56]
NFC can be used forsocial networking, for sharing contacts, text messages and forums, links to photos, videos or files[78] and entering multiplayermobile games.[85]
NFC-equipped smartphones can be paired withNFC Tags or stickers that can be programmed by NFC apps. These programs can allow a change of phone settings, texting, app launching, or command execution.
Such apps do not rely on a company or manufacturer, but can be utilized immediately with an NFC-equipped smartphone and an NFC tag.[86]
The NFC Forum published theSignature Record Type Definition (RTD) 2.0 in 2015 to add integrity and authenticity for NFC Tags. This specification allows an NFC device to verify tag data and identify the tag author.[87]
NFC has been used invideo games starting withSkylanders: Spyro's Adventure.[88] These are customizable figurines which contain personal data with each figure, so no two figures are exactly alike. Nintendo'sWii U GamePad was the first console system to include NFC technology out of the box. It was later included in theNintendo 3DS range (being built into the New Nintendo 3DS/XL and in a separately sold reader which usesInfrared to communicate to older 3DS family consoles) and theNintendo Switch range (being built within the rightJoy-Con controller and directly in the Nintendo Switch Lite). Theamiibo range of accessories utilize NFC technology to unlock features.
NFC and Bluetooth are both relatively short-range communication technologies available onmobile phones. NFC operates at slower speeds than Bluetooth and has a much shorter range, but consumes far less power and doesn't require pairing.[91]
NFC sets up more quickly than standard Bluetooth, but has a lower transfer rate thanBluetooth low energy. With NFC, instead of performing manual configurations to identify devices, the connection between two NFC devices is automatically established in less than .1 second. The maximum data transfer rate of NFC (424 kbit/s) is slower than that of Bluetooth V2.1 (2.1 Mbit/s).
NFC's maximum working distance of less than20 cm (7+7⁄8 in) reduces the likelihood of unwanted interception, making it particularly suitable for crowded areas that complicate correlating a signal with its transmitting physical device (and by extension, its user).[92]
NFC is compatible with existing passive RFID (13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 18000-3) infrastructures. It requires comparatively low power, similar to the Bluetooth V4.0 low-energy protocol. However, when NFC works with an unpowered device (e.g. on a phone that may be turned off, a contactless smart credit card, a smart poster), the NFC power consumption is greater than that of Bluetooth V4.0 Low Energy, since illuminating the passive tag needs extra power.[91]
In 2011, handset vendors released more than 40 NFC-enabled handsets with theAndroid mobile operating system.BlackBerry devices support NFC using BlackBerry Tag on devices running BlackBerry OS 7.0 and greater.[93]
MasterCard added further NFC support for PayPass for the Android and BlackBerry platforms, enabling PayPass users to make payments using their Android or BlackBerry smartphones.[94] A partnership betweenSamsung andVisa added a 'payWave' application on the Galaxy S4 smartphone.[95]
In 2012,Microsoft added native NFC functionality in theirmobile OS withWindows Phone 8, as well as theWindows 8 operating system. Microsoft provides the "Wallet hub" in Windows Phone 8 for NFC payment, and can integrate multiple NFC payment services within a single application.[96]
In 2014,iPhone 6 was released fromApple to support NFC.[97] and since September 2019 iniOS 13 Apple now allows NFC tags to be read out as well as labeled using an NFC app.[citation needed]
As of April 2011 hundreds of NFC trials had been conducted. Some firms moved to full-scale service deployments, spanning one or more countries. Multi-country deployments includeOrange's rollout of NFC technology to banks, retailers, transport, and service providers in multiple European countries,[42] andAirtel Africa andOberthur Technologies deploying to 15 countries throughout Africa.[98]
China Telecom (China's 3rd largest mobile operator) made its NFC rollout in November 2013. The company signed up multiple banks to make their payment apps available on its SIM Cards. China telecom stated that the wallet would support coupons, membership cards, fuel cards and boarding passes. The company planned to achieve targets of rolling out 40 NFC phone models and 30 Mn NFC SIMs by 2014.
Softcard (formerly Isis Mobile Wallet), a joint venture from Verizon Wireless, AT&T and T-Mobile, focuses on in-store payments making use of NFC technology. After doing pilots in some regions, they launched across the US.
Vodafone launched the NFC-based Vodafone SmartPass mobile payment service in Spain in partnership with Visa. It enables consumers with an NFC-enabledSIM card in a mobile device to make contactless payments via their SmartPass credit balance at any POS.
OTI, an Israeli company that designs and develops contactless microprocessor-based smart card technology, contracted to supply NFC-readers to one of its channel partners in the US. The partner was required to buy $10MM worth of OTI NFC readers over 3 years.
Rogers Communications launched virtual wallet Suretap to enable users to make payments with their phone in Canada in April 2014. Suretap users can load up gift cards and prepaid MasterCards from national retailers.[99]
As of December 13, 2013Tim Hortons TimmyMEBlackBerry 10 Application allowed users to link their prepaid Tim Card to the app, allowing payment by tapping the NFC-enabled device to a standard contactless terminal.[100]
Google Wallet allows consumers to store credit card and store loyalty card information in a virtual wallet and then use an NFC-enabled device at terminals that also acceptMasterCard PayPass transactions.[101]
Germany,[102] Austria,[103] Finland,[104] New Zealand,[105] Italy,[106] Iran,[107] Turkey[108] and Greece[109] trialed NFC ticketing systems for public transport. The Lithuanian capital ofVilnius fully replaced paper tickets for public transportation withISO/IEC 14443 Type A cards on July 1, 2013.[110]
NFC sticker-based payments in Australia's Bankmecu and card issuer Cuscal completed an NFC payment sticker trial, enabling consumers to make contactless payments at Visa payWave terminals using a smart sticker stuck to their phone.
India was implementing NFC-based transactions in box offices for ticketing purposes.[111]
A partnership of Google and Equity Bank in Kenya introduced NFC payment systems for public transport in the Capital city Nairobi under the brandingBebaPay.
January 2019 saw the start of trial using NFC-enabledAndroid mobile phones to pay public transport fares inVictoria, Australia.[112]
