NFC or Near Field Communication is a standars-based wireless connectivity technology

for devices in very close range, usually in physical contact. One of the two communicating

devices may be passive (it has no energy source) but NFC also allows communication

between two active devices.

NFC is based on a radio frequency (RF) field using a base frequency of 13.56 MHz.

A relative of NFC is the anti-theft tag found in stores.

Some uses of NFC technology:

Contactless credit cards
Public transport fare systems, tickets in general
Bonding and establishment of trust relationships, like Bluetooth pairing, without the need of PIN codes
Store e-money in cell phones, use phones as the credit card or pre-paid card
