Can a mobile function as key? Near Field Communication (NFC) is an international standard for transferring wireless data at distances up to10cm with a speed of 424 kbit/sec. So far, this technique is beeing used in cashless systems for small amounts of money but could also work in mobiles to transfer access-data to doors of buildungs or cars.
But how safe are those solutions? The secure use of NFC is analyzed at the ISS.
