Near Filed Communication (NFC) isa close range radio communication protocol which is used for very sensitive applications. It was jointly developed by Sony and Philips. The standard specifies the ways to establish P2P (Peer-to-Peer) communication links for data exchange. After the P2P network has been configured,another wireless communication technology, such as BluetoothWi-Fi, can be used for longer rangecommunication or for transferring larger amounts of data. Its development was parallel to RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), but both differ in many ways. NFC offers a very short range as compared to RFID. This is an added advantage in the sense that it requires a very little transmission power and cheap transmitters can be used for the purpose. Hence it is very suitable for Smartcard like applications.
