Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is
being grown up at enormous speed. NFC technology provides
the fastest way to communicate two devices with in a fraction of
second. This technology has only been implemented on smart
phones so far. Like Bluetooth it works only in short range and
data transfer takes place at very low speed. Several security
issues are attached with NFC, which is a big concern. Security
attacks like eavesdropping, data corruption and modification,
interference attacks and theft, are the most dangerous for the
customer who is using his/her smart phone for payment purpose.
In this paper we present the comparison of NFC with Bluetooth
and security analysis of NFC.

NFC would enable all the users to make payments simply
by tapping their mobile phones with mobile phone reader
like debit card or credit card transactions. Many banks,
mobile operators, vendor and companies are
implementing NFC technology. But NFC has been failed
to make an impact so far. Since it is new technology
therefore users need to learn about this technology on how
it works. NFC need collaboration among banks,
merchants and mobile companies to provide a secured
platform to users that support NFC technology. But it is
very crucial to set up a secured platform for NFC so that
users could adopt this technology easily.
