Title
NFC - the non-radio bits
Synopsis
When we talk about NFC, often people think of the short-range radio protocol and RFID. But that’s only a small part of the picture. Smart cards play an important role in NFC and this presentation will focus on how NFC standards build on and extend smart card security concepts to enable applications like contactless mobile payments.
