NFC Technology: Assessment Effective of Security towards Protecting NFC Devices & Services

Today with rapid development and adoption of information technology's applications and services, the way we do business changed significantly and this is making our daily lives more prosperous and hassle-free. Near Field Communication (NFC) has become one of the promising technological developments. This technology is vulnerable to security attacks. These attacks lead to leakage of user's important data which could affect any organization adopting NFC technologies and applications. The basic objective of this paper is to discuss NFC in general and compare this technology with RFID. Further, we reviewed various attack types and finally we proposed scientific mechanisms that can help to increase the security efficiency of NFC and to provide information protection to NFC technologies.
