Practical Experiences With NFC Security on Mobile Phones

This paper presents the practical experiences in implementing a secure NFC application on mobile phones. First, the authors present the characteristics of the NFC technology and its security features. Based on the practical, real-world offline NFC voucher payment application, using the Nokia 6313 and 6212 NFC enabled devices, the authors illustrates the possibilities of NFC applications on today's technology with an emphasis on the security aspects. In the experience, the current technology is not sufficient to provide for a completely secured system, which resulted in sub-optimal speed of the implementation.
