Enhancing Security and Usability Features of NFC

The book "Enhancing Security and Usability Features of NFC" offers a comprehensive analysis of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, characterized by its short range and application on mobile devices. It examines how NFC builds on existing RFID infrastructures and the advantages it offers for mobile payments, ticketing, and device connectivity. However, despite the promising possibilities of NFC, there are challenges, particularly regarding security and usability. Authors Kerem Beygo and Cihan Eraslan have evaluated current research findings and developed an NFC application that has been tested in user experience studies. The results indicate that both usability and security are compromised by a lack of user awareness and the physical design of mobile phones. This specialized book is aimed at professionals and students who wish to address the challenges and solutions in the field of NFC technology.
