Yesterday, at the Web 2.0 Summit, Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt presented the Nexus S. This wasn’t just about a new phone, he also talked about how Gingerbread (Android OS Version 2.3) would have support for NFC (Near Field Communications) built in. In light of the mobile-phone hotel-key (NFC-based) trial going on at the Clarion hotel in Sweden and questions raised during the conversation at the Summit, it’s time to take another look at the state of NFC security.[...]
The more your mobile phone is used for payments (as a “wallet in your phone”) the more it becomes a target for attackers. Last week we discussed attacks that target NFC-enabled phones.
