Problem Of Rfiber Technology

In this research paper we review three promising short-range wireless communication such as Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID), Bluetooth, zigbee and Near-field Communication (NFC).NFC mobile services are an important emerging areafor NFC technology, with great potential for growth. The NFC Forum’s strategy for accelerating the growth of this business areaincludes recognizing and describing what is needed to realize successful NFC mobile services, such as key technologies, typical usecases, and the structure of the overall ecosystem. The success NFC across a broad range of applications depends on its large-scaleadoption by enterprises and consumers. This implies the need for simple, low-cost implementation of the technology in a wide variety ofdevices. This paper discusses NFC technology in detail along with its protocols, communication modes, comparison with other

This article gives a synopsis of threats to the mobile devices and the data existing in them and the available defenses. It classifies seven different types of threats on mobile devices and then it discusses about the precautions that can be taken to avoid these threats. It recommends how to prioritize the different threats and defenses.

Microchip implant is an exceptionally well thought authentication method that has the possibility of making a huge impact in securing information. The concept of microchip implant was introduced in 1945 by Leon Theremin, who was the originator of one of the first covert devices which is also known as “bugs”. This device is followed by Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology which is a small electronic device that contains a chip. This chips allows the ability to store data typically ranging up to 2,000 bytes or less. RFID is comparable to magnetic strips or bar codes because they all act as a unique identifier for a specific purpose. In order to obtain information from an RFID, you must scan the device just as how a magnetic strip or bar code would require scanning. RFID can also be described as the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields that helps in transferring data with the goal of being able to automatically recognize and monitor tags that are being attached to objects. RFID technology is currently being used by many different industries varying from identifications badges that enclose RFID tags that assist with eliminating the chances of shoplifting, to vehicles using the technology to help monitor the production process and track the vehicles across the assembly line. Other scenarios that may use the microchip implant includes animals having RFID tags placed in them for identification purposes as

New technology has spurred innovative ways to spend money. As mobile payment systems continually develop, consumer financial and personal information risk exposure. Industry officials state the technology is growing, but security specialists argue growth of will inevitably attract fraud. Smartphone owners must treat their phones as a miniature computer and equip proper anti-virus and malware software. Enacting preventative methods will help thwart security breaches over mobile networks. (Ladendorf, 2013)

An example of this would be the Apple Pay technology. Apple Pay is a mobile payments service and digital wallet application that utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC) to initiate secure payment transactions between contactless payment terminals and devices like the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch (Webopedia). Apple Pay allows owners of Apple devices the opportunity to add multiple credit or debit cards onto that device and instantly pay at a location by simply placing their device over the scanner. This technology could be implemented into Howard University’s Bison One Card by adding Dining Dollars or Bison Bucks into the application software, thus eliminating the need to always swipe your card at various locations around campus. This would also eliminate the struggle some students encounter of not being able to eat or swipe into the café because they have lost or misplaced their card. The biggest problem Howard University faces with implementing this new technology is the substantial cost. Blue Pay breaks down the Apple Pay implementation costs with prices of the NFC terminals in range from $300 to $500, excluding the cost of additional software upgrades if needed. Depending on which locations, if not all, across campus will support this technology, this cost will surely add up. Merchants must also weigh in the cost of employee training. Employees must understand how to properly use NFC contactless readers to process payments. The training should also include refunds, chargebacks, and cancellations. This cost can vary, depending on the size of the staff. Blue Pay ultimately estimates the total cost ranging anywhere from $1000 to $2000 per unit after factoring in hardware, software and wages (Blue

A large number of Increased NFC handset availability advanced the deployment of NFC-payment as it clearly improves the value offered for merchants that will not only consider NFC as another payment system but also a new communication channel to the consumers. Thus NFC-based payment becomes very popular in most of the developed countries including Poland, Japan, France, UK, USA, South Korea, Singapore, Turkey and the Netherlands, due to availability of NFC-based mobile device, easy access and services .But Consumers trust in the NFC –based payment can be eroded by misleading the consumer with corrupted tag data, malware attack leading to serious economic impacts to both consumers and merchants. Thus a secure NFC-based payment against relay attack, eavesdropping, spoofing, data modification or corruption is a must.

The exact definition of Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enable two electronic devices, one of which is usually a portable device such as a smartphone, to establish communication by bringing them within 2in of each other. For example, if I have an iPhone specifically it will connect to the Internet and can exchange data with online services. Different providers such as AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile USA and even Apple have joined in this new interesting way to handle their e-pays.

Previously, the biggest hurdle for 2FA has been the inconvenience of it. However, the experience is constantly moving to a more convenient direction. Nowadays, mobile applications are able to use NFC to transfer all the information that starts the process of login in. The seamless process only requires the user to initiate the logging in with a

Thesis; Along with the efficiency mobile devices render, come along its risks, in which raises substantial security and privacy concerns. It’s important to be aware of the possible threats a mobile can have, along with knowing what and how to secure information, as well as trying to prevent threats from happening.

Due to the high quality and incorporation of NFC technology in Pantofola d’Oro’s products, they cost more than those of competitors. They are also set to be placed in the big departmental stores only, such as Nordstrom and Barneys. This may reduce their potential to be recognized and thus bought by many people.

On the other hand, the NFC technology has become the basic function of the smartphone. This technology enables the smartphone become the Octopus card reader and make payment. It makes possible for the Octopus

Abstract— Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of protocols and specifications for the wireless exchange of information over a short range and is the next technological stepping towards ubiquitous computing. It builds upon the existing RFID technology. NFC is a set of technical specifications and standards for transferring information between two proximate objects via the inductive coupling of radio frequency fields at 13.56 MHz. This technology will save the time. NFC technology allows people to integrate their daily-use loyalty cards, credit cards etc. into their mobile phones. In addition to integrating those cards into mobile devices, NFC technology brings innovation opportunities to mobile communications. It enables two users to easily communicate and exchange data simply by touching two two NFC enabled devices to each other.

Abstract :-Smartphone usage has been continuously increasing in recent years. Moreover, smartphones are often used for privacy- sensitive tasks, becoming highly valuable targets for attackers. The most popular Smartphones, including iPhones and Android Phones are vulnerable to different types of attacks such as denial of convenience(DoC).To address this attack, we propose implementing a novel Internet-access validation protocol that uses the cellular network to send a secret key phrase to an Internet validation server. Then, it attempts to retrieve this secret key phrase via the newly established Wi-Fi channel to validate the Wi-Fi access point

With the advent of smart phones featuring Near Field Communications (NFC) technology, the same device used to make calls and access email can also be used to open office and residential doors, and to even check in to a hotel and go directly to the room without first having to visit the front desk. This capability was first demonstrated by Clarion Hotel Stockholm whose goal was to solicit feedback from guests and employees regarding the use of NFC phones for a variety of services [38].
