How NFC (Near Field Communication) Is Changing Our Mobile Life

Near field communication (NFC) has made its way into many applications, including security, payment methods, and even access to areas and items. There's no doubt it's had an impact on how we develop and use hardware—but has it been a boon or a risk? Near field communication (NFC) is a protocol that was first defined in 2003 for use in radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, in standards distributed, promoted, and certified by the NFC Forum.
