This document provides an overview of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. It discusses how NFC works using short-range wireless communication between devices within 4 cm of each other. The document traces the history of NFC from its establishment in 2004 to its uses today. Examples are given of how NFC enables e-wallets for mobile payments and "smart tags" for transmitting data. Potential applications discussed include use in airports, railways, mobile payments, and device-to-device sharing.
5. How does it work ?
NFC is a set of short-range wireless technologies
NFC can be applied between 2 mobiles
NFC can be applied between smart compatible phones & smart stickers
NFC requiring a distance of 4 cm or less
NFC operates at 13.56MHz
NFC operates at rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 424 kbit/s
8. History
2004 Nokia, Philips and Sony established the NFC Forum.
2006 Initial specifications for NFC Tags.
2007 Nokia 6131 was the first NFC phone.
2009 NFC Forum released Peer-to-Peer standards to transfer contact, URL, etc.
2010 Samsung Nexus S: First Android NFC phone shown
2011 Google I/O demonstrates NFC to initiate a game and to share a contact, URL,
app, video, etc.
2011 NFC support becomes part of the Symbian OS.
2011 RIM devices certified by MasterCard Worldwide.
2012 EAT, a well known UK restaurant chain enabled NFC brand tables.

19. E-Wallets
Converting a mobile phone into an electronic wallet that
will carry out financial transaction.

There are many different handsets, operating
systems & user experience in this markets.
so the goal is to make any transaction on any
device safe, easy & reliable

Deutsche Bahn, the German rail transport operator, will roll out its Touch&Travel mobile ticketing application across Germany this November.Passengers will be able to use NFC-enabled and 2D barcode tickets at touchpoints across 320 railway stations to check in and out of the stations.Those with iPhones or smartphones with the Android operating system will also be able to use GPS to check-in.The announcement of the widespread roll out of the Touch&Travel concept follows a number of trials, which have been ongoing since 2008.

RFID stands forRadio-Frequency IDentification. The acronym refers to small electronic devices that consist of a small chip and an antenna. The chip typically is capable of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less.The RFID device serves the same purpose as a bar code or a magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or ATM card; it provides a unique identifier for that object. And, just as a bar code or magnetic strip must be scanned to get the information, the RFID device must be scanned to retrieve the identifying information.

its really simple and will depend on the business agreement between the involved parties (bank/Mno) but the common practice will be similar to the following scenario:For example, if your phone with SIM based NFC containing applications from your banks, favorite retail brands and transport operator gets stolen you will first call the MNO which will remotely (over-the-air) lock all the applications and notify all concerned service providers which will also take the appropriate actions such as blocking the application to prevent unauthorized transactions. You will not be required to call all service providers one by one.The MNO will then issue a new SIM and will automatically request the restoration of all services that were available on the previous SIM.Consumers can also call banks or transport operators directly. In that case, the service provider will notify the MNO about the theft.
