Near Field Communication Security
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The protection of systems that use short-range near field communication for payments, device pairing, badge emulation, or data exchange. NFC security concerns include relay attacks, unauthorized reads, cloning of poorly designed tags, and misuse of trusted tap workflows.
In plain English: Security for short-range tap-based communication used by phones, cards, and similar devices.
Example: "The access control project had to validate near field communication security because relay attacks were a realistic concern for badge emulation."
