Evaluation of NFC Enabled Devices

The prime objective of this closure report is to evaluate the findings of the previous phases of the project. The Near Field Communication devices which are actively used in the communication and electronic industry are very useful for their business purpose as it is effective to establish a communication by bringing them with in a limited distance. Form the previous projects it can be understood that this device may be defined as the short range wireless connectivity standard. The paper will focus on the different aspects of the NFC enabled devices which is an important for its worldwide acceptance [1]. The key features of a NFC enabled devices are discussed in this paper with prior importance [3]. Different extra specifications are always added in the existing NFC devices such as the card emulation mode.

As every task has some set goals, Heuristic evaluation method also has some predefined goals. At first, the idea is to surf through the entire User Interface of the website for the organization Gates N Fences and check for the smooth experience of user by checking it through numerous users many a times (Gates.itcstore.com, 2018). The user data also needs to be recorded so that all the users surfing through the website could jot down the entire surfing experience in details.

Since, Heuristic approach to the evaluation of a website relies entirely on the user interface it is essential that all the aspects of the website UI needs to checked thoroughly. The images used with border in alignment with the font of the website needs to be checked for consistency. It is also essential to check the images in the website are relevant according to the links used and the entire content of the website (Jimenez, Lozada & Rosas, 2016). Checking the fonts should be a priority as UI design relies mostly on the consistency levels. Redirection from one page to another need to be consistent or the website can be treated as a low quality one. The borders, margin and padding should be checked for unswerving surfing and the website evaluation in heuristic method must be done for checking the ease of use on the user end.

The projects help in acknowledging the fact that these devices use magnetic field induction to enable communication between devices when are within a short distance with each other. The previous projects of this assignment help in understanding the usefulness of this device during the online payment systems such as Apple Pay, Google wallet and Pay Tm. The other essential data related to this device is the use of the NFC tags. The application of the NFC device is not only restricted to smart phones but also to other kinds of devices such as the electronic media. The extensive use of the NFC device in the cultural industry and communication industry is specified in this report. The NFC devices are also used in the politics are public administration.  

Key Features of NFC Enabled Devices

The other type of achievement of this near field communication is the application of the NFC devices in contactless payment systems. It can be also found that this device can also be used as an alternative to the credit cards and electronic ticket standards. The application of NFC devices is increasing in the different types of social media websites. The previous phases of the projects help us to evaluate the use of NFC as the identification documents. With the help of this device different kinds of data can be transmitted from one device to another device. The other phases of the projects also help the readers of this document to understand the impact of radio frequency identification technology [2]. The vulnerabilities associated with the NFC can be understood with the help of the previous projects of this topic. The importance of maintaining the standards of the NFC communication protocols is also mentioned in these previous projects.

However, it can be said the achievement of this kinds of devices depends very much on the collaboration of the other corporations as the compatibility issues are one of the most important issues related to this technology [4]. The SIM card based NFC service was discarded in the first place due to different kinds of issues but the research teams who are working on the development of the NFC technology ensured that an alternative solution will provided soon. There were too many complexities in those devices.  

The performance of the near field communication devices is considered with the help of specific standards such as the accuracy and effectiveness of the device, completeness of the desired results, speed of the working principals of the new device and the different types of costs in incorporation and maintenance of the device. The performance of the NFC applications can be broadly classified into three categories such as the Touch and go, touch and connect and touch and confirm these features are the modified versions of the new NFC enabled devices [5]. The development of these applications took little more time than expected and it is very much important in optimizing the key requirements of a NFC enabled device. The wide range of applications leads to the use of NFC device in railways stations, airport, vehicle, office, and store restaurant and theatre stadium.

The estimated cost and resources used in the effective utilization of an NFC enabled device is the prime determination of this unit of this report [7]. The probability of the different types of risks such as the improper design, infrastructural costs, tag determination are one of the most vital vulnerabilities associated with this project. As stated in the previous assignments this device would take around 90 workings days to be fully completed. Since the device involves different sub categories which are very complex in their structure [8]. Feasibility test and other kinds of performance tests are performed on the device before proceeding to the next phase of the development so it may get delayed. The resources used in this device will be very much significant in the productions unit. The management of the different aspects of a NFC device is one of the most important challenges of the production units of the NFC devices [9].  Changes in the communication plan are also a very significant factor regarding this project.

Documentation is one of the most important aspects related to this technology as it helps us to understand the specifications of this device in a more professional manner.

The extensive development in the field of NFC technology will be very much impact for both personal and business use. The impact of this technology is huge in terms of communication and transmission of data. This powerful wireless connection between one or more than one devices can be very much efficient for two systems which are places closed to each other. The changes which are brought after the applications of this system are very much significant and effective on the users. The growth in the field of NFC technology has led to the growth and improvement of new specifications such as the launching applications, Wi-Fi sharing, file transfer and setting of alarms.

NFC WI-FI sharing application: The features of this application are very much useful in our daily life and also prove the success of this device and its technology. With the help of this application sharing of long and complicated WI-FI passwords are not needed instead of that users can install this WI-FI sharing application on their mobile phones and connect the two systems.

NFC application launchers: The prime objective of the NFC application launchers is the creation of the tags which performs their action whenever an NFC enabled device comes into proximity.

NFC File Transfer applications: Essential data can be transferred from one device to another with the help of the NFC file transfer applications. This feature is enabled in all the online payment techniques which are popular in every part of the world.

NFC Writing applications: The prime objective of this writing application is to write data to unlocked NFC tag. One of the most widely used NFC writing applications is Tagstand’s program. The chief advantage of this application is that it is very much user friendly and have a great user interface.

The different types of phases of implementation of the NFC device are a considerable reason behind the success and the failure of the project [10]. Each of the phases should be properly understood before implementing them on a working environment. The key areas where improvement is needed are the initiation phase, planning phase, designing phase, implementation phase, testing phase and the closure phase. The establishment of the charter is one of the most important aspects of the NFC device [11]. The people who are in charge of implementing this device in a business environment or any other kinds of environments should be fully aware of the key challenges and issues related to this device [13]. Efficient resource planning is one of the most important criteria of the NFC device. The financial plan involved in the incorporation of the NFC device should be materialized with the help of experienced system experts who knows both the advantages and limitations of this technology.

Impact of NFC Technology on Personal and Business Use

The other issues related with this device are the vulnerabilities and risks associated with the NFC such as the Eaves dropping, data corruption and manipulation. The interception attacks are the other kinds of major threat associated with the NFC technology [12]. The security breaches have the capability of having a direct negative impact on the growth and productivity of the users of the NFC devices. The previous projects of this topic help in understanding the importance of the data security. The entire working principal of this device is connection oriented which can be a source of concern for the users of the NFC devices as any kind of network related issues can have a harmful impact on the users.

Resolutions should be taken so that key issues such as data tampering can be avoided which is one of the prime risks associated with this device [14]. The interference of the malicious programs is the other source of concern in a NFC enabled device. The success criteria of the NFC enabled should be considered along with the data interception. Data interception is the other reason behind the security concerns of this device. Data interception mainly occurs when an unknown malicious user intercepts the data between the two NFC enabled users. These kinds of attacks are also called man in the middle attacks [15]. Eavesdropping is the other kinds of security challenges involved with the wide application of a NFC enabled device. This security concern involves alteration of essential data where the modified or the incorrect data are sent to the receiver which can cause huge personal and business loss. Encryption or the use of a secure communication channel is the risk mitigation steps of the NFC enabled devices. The download of the unwanted applications is the other source of security concerns in the NFC enabled device, these harmful applications can extract essential information related to the users and a very negative impact on the users of the NFC enabled device.

The extensive growth in the field of NFC technology has led to the growth and development of the different new features of NFC. The application of NFC is not only restricted to transfer of data and online payments. They are restricted to transfer of data and online payments. The application of the advances specifications of NFC are seen in the winter Olympics when Visa and Samsung partnered to create NFC compatible smart phones. Those devices were used in the transactions with in the sports Olympics.
