The bachelor’s thesis deals with the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, which has been getting more attention lately, especially because of its application in mobile phones and bank cards. The work describes how this technology works, and mostly focuses on security point of view and also possibilities of use in practice. Presented are the norms, standards and communication protocols. In detail are specified the types of communication and the way of transmitting data. One of the main topics of the thesis describes security of the technology itself and also describes possibilities of attacks. Additionally recommendations and solutions are suggested for each attack and furthermore describe universal secure channel. The last part of the work introduces ways of use of NFC technology in practice and also design of one of the possibilities of usage of NFC technology in a form of a business card.
