New Applications for NFC Devices

The communication needs of mobile devices and their mobile users have drastically grown because of the proliferation of such communication and consumer electronics devices. In order to make the establishment of these connections simpler, the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology was created; however, regarding authentication, the hard-to solve contrast of security and usability limits the possibilities and this also stays true for mobile devices. The applications presented in this paper serve the ever stronger market need to propagate the mainly consumer electronics devices and the content services based on them for consumers and providers as well. The use cases presented here are results of the MOBILSEC project. The project is co-sponsored by the National Office for Research and Technology, Hungary.
