What is NFC? Use Cases in IoT and Cloud Ecosystems
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that enables short-range wireless data transmission between devices. Widely used for contactless payments, authentication, data sharing, and IoT device management, NFC can be easily activated on smartphones, allowing payments or data transfers to be completed quickly and securely. In IoT and cloud ecosystems, NFC provides convenience and security through functions such as device authentication, configuration, secure key exchange, and access control. Because NFC operates over very short distances, it imposes minimal load on device performance; however, data transmission should always be protected with encryption and secure protocols.
