with
Expressed
Intent
Data
Security at
Multiple
Levels
Ability to
Connect the
Unconnected
Only NFC Provides:
EASY NETWORK ACCESS AND DATA SHARING BETWEENDEVICES
Advancing Near Field Communication Technology10
● No lengthy handshaking
● No user data entry required
● No additional user interface required
● Fast, error-free data sharing
USER CONTROL WITH EXPRESSED INTENT
Advancing Near Field Communication Technology11
● Simple, intuitive means of user intent to
initiate action
● Sure and consistent
● User options to set and enforce preferred
degree of control
DATA SECURITY AT MULTIPLE LEVELS
Advancing Near Field Communication Technology12
● Built-in features that limit
opportunities for eavesdropping,
man-in-the-middle attacks
● Easy-to-deploy options for additional
protections to match each use case
● Tools to set and enforce security

THE ABILITY TO CONNECT THE UNCONNECTED
Advancing Near Field Communication Technology13
● It‘s The Internet of Things, not The Internet
of Electronic Things
● Need a way to embed intelligence in
unpowered, unconnected objects and things
● Need a way to gather data from unpowered,
unconnected objects and things
BENEFITS OF THE CONNECTED WORLD
● Increased productivity
● Fewer steps
● Less data re-entry
● Greater, easier control
● Better coordination
● Data analytics
● Cost savings

● Temperature/humidity sensors in fine wine cases
● Provides data en route with a tap of an NFC-enabled device
● Tracks cold chain for quality
● Ensures provenance
NFC AND CONNECTED CONSUMER EXAMPLES
16
● Smart Lighting
● Link energy-harvesting wireless light switches to a home network with a touch an NFC-enabled phone
● Simplifies setup and control
NFC AND CONNECTED CONSUMER EXAMPLES
●Luxury Goods and Collectibles
Embedded NFC tags in luxury goods
enable consumers to verify their
authenticity
NFC tags in collectible footballs used in
college games provide proof of
authenticity and the ball’s history
