This paper gives a general overview of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. NFC is one of the latest wireless communication technologies. As a short-range wireless connectivity technology, NFC offers safe yet simple and intuitive communication between electronic devices. Users of NFC-enabled devices can simply point or touch their devices to other NFC-enabled elements in the environment to communicate and exchange of data with them, making application and data usage easy and convenient. With NFC technology, communication occurs when an NFC-compatible device is brought within a few centimetres of another NFC device or an NFC tag. The big advantage of the short transmission range is that it inhibits eavesdropping on NFC-enabled transactions.
