Abstract
Near Field Communication (NFC) is one of the most popular short range wireless communication technology that offers in close proximity data transfer. Its simplicity and safe communication makes it more popular in day to day life when an NFC enabled device brought within few centimetres of another NFC device or tag. According to the communication between NFC devices due to its close proximity inhibits eavesdropping on NFC-enabled transactions.
1. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to do a research of current technology of Near Field Communication and its steps of development after the invention that technology and future advancements of this technology.
By examining a range of web sites, recently published magazine and journal articles on the topic of Near Field Communication researcher describes the main categories of NFC in common use today and examines their technology, advantages and disadvantages, security issues, draw backs, future advancements and recommendation for further developments.
Basically Near Field Communication is a non-proprietary technology using in smart phones and similar devices to
