Usages of NFC:-

· Matching encrypted security code and transporting access key;

· Due to short transmission range, NFC-based transactions are possibly secure;

· Pay for items just by waving your phone over the NFC capable devices

· Transferring images, posters for displaying and printing

It is presumed by analysts that there is going to be one out of six wireless subscribers will have access of NFC-enabled devices. So when almost half of the billion people are part of global network by the end of twenty fourteen, it will be difficult for us to be out of this revolutionary sphere.
