NFC Journal

Near field communication is becoming more evident in many sectors with transportation leading, closely followed by the financial and banking arena with ePayments. Now another area is emerging for NFC, which is to make electronic identities mobile.

In around one year from now, the new electronic ID card is to be launched in Germany making business transactions on the Internet much more secure and simple. In order to make it possible to control the convenient e-Identity functions offered by this handy document in credit-card format not just at an office desk or a home PC, Bundesdruckerei plans to use NFC-enabled mobile phones as an alternative to stationary reading devices.
