. A NFC-enabled mobile phone operates in a similar manner to traditional contactless cards, which are widely used in credit cards, public transit tickets, and other forms of electronic commerce. In this research, we examined various attacks in the context of NFC, as well as the fundamental principles of hacking. We conducted experimental analyses to uncover various aspects of NFC attacks. Additionally, our study identified a counter measure security approach to overcome attacks, which could enable users to protect secure systems through NFCNear Field Communication technology is a rapid instantaneous communication between two devices. It is a short-range high-frequency wireless communication technology that allows data exchange between devices through a distance of around 10 cms (almost 4 inches).
1.1 UNIQUE FEATURES: Support for passive communication is a core part of NFC devices. Mobile phones and other rechargeable batteries devices can use it. The Passive mode of NFC communication allows the communication to be powered from one side only in a power-saving mode since it does not require both devices to generate the Radio Frequency field [3] To choose devices and automate connection setup, the protocol is straight forward to use in conjunction with other protocols connections with a longer range. Selecting the right device from among several the devices in the range and establishing the appropriate connection parameters are difficult while using long-range protocols like Bluetooth or Wireless Ethernet .
The uptake of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is rapidly increasing their phone's user interfaces.
1.2 ADVANTAGES OF WIRELESS SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION
Keywords: NFC, Wireless short range communication, NFC attacks, NFC security
NFC is favourable to Bluetooth and 802.11 due to their long-distance capabilities and since it allows for relatively easy wireless network configuration. NFC is designed for short-distance wireless communication (Fig.1) NFC provides a communication channel-related for non-self-powered devices and can be utilised in unsafe circumstances and does not require line of sight [4]
1. INTRODUCTION The Near Field Communication Forum was founded in 2004 by Nokia, Philips, and Sony. Radio frequency identification Devices ( RFID), that's where NFC originated. A passive electronic tag can be identified and tracked using RFID by allowing a reader to transmit radio waves to it. Mobile phone use utilising NFC is primarily intended. The enhanced protection offered by the NFC phone allows the user to safeguard secure systems through the phone's user interface features of 13.56 MHz. It supports data speeds of 106 or 424 Kbit/s. NFC utilizes magnetic field induction each other, communicate besides forming an air-core transformer out of two loop antennas that are connected directly. For a device to work using NFC, a chip is installed into a mobile phone. If the application involves payments, the chip is linked to a credit or debit card account so that money can be charged to the user’s account. To make a payment using the NFC enabled mobile, the user swipes
