Abstract :
Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging wireless short-range communication technology innovation that is based on existing standards of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) infrastructure. In this paper we give an overview of NFC technology and discuss its adaptation worldwide. We then focus on the current trends and application of NFC technology in India. Both existing NFC applications and some conceivable future situations are analyzed in this connection. Furthermore, security concerns, difficulties and present conflicts are also discussed.
