The NFC Forum released two specifications that offer cryptology security for NFC. The new NFC specifications provide security for NFC-enabled mobile devices by using a cryptographic framework to enable development of secure NFC applications protecting the confidentiality and the privacy of NFC communications.

The Logical Link Control Protocol Technical Specification 1.4 is the first NFC Forum technical specification to take advantage of NAP 1.0's secured data transfer.

"These specifications are important because the standardized framework simplifies development of secure NFC applications," said Mike McCamon, executive director, NFC Forum.

Establishment of a secure channel between two NFC devices to prevent eavesdropping when these two NFC devices are communicating with each other.

The authentication process allows NFC devices to build up trust with each other for NFC communication.

LLCP 1.4 is the first NFC Forum technical specification to take advantage of NAP 1.0 for secured data transfer.
