Abstract: The electronics and telecommunications industry has experienced rapid advances over the past decade. This has led to a new paradigm in the field of data transfer and wireless communication. This brings us to the current revolution the mobile industry faces in the form of NFC technology. Near Field Communication technology (NFC) is a standard for very short range communication up to a few centimetres. It finds various applications ranging from data transfer, secure identification, payments, marketing, healthcare, aviation, hospitality. NFC works at a very short range, mostly by touching the devices that employ NFC. This makes NFC a very easy and viable technology to use. This paper explains the theories behind NFC and then presents a number of compelling applications of NFC for mobile phones, while analysing the associated security threats.
