Abstract

Near Field Communication (NFC) as a form of wireless technology has seen many improvements in recent years due to the increasing availability of NFC enabled devices. NFC is a recently emerging technology for short range communications aimed to enhance existing near field technologies such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). NFC is a standards-based, short-range (a few centimeters) wireless connectivity technology that enables simple and safe two-way interactions between electronic devices, allowing consumers to perform contactless transactions, access digital content, and connect electronic devices with a single touch. In this review paper, NFC technology is put forward with respect to its implementation, operating modes, its application in the form of tags as well as payments and its standards and protocols.
