“…These peer‐to‐peer data transfer techniques are designed to eliminate the constraints and drawbacks of other state‐of‐the‐art payment methods . One implementation of such a system, known as Pay‐Cloak, uses an NFC‐enabled smartphone back cover integrated with Bluetooth and a fingerprint sensor to add extra security layers over the transaction process to keep the data safe . Most of the existing work available in the literature is about securing the data through encryption or authentication of NFC tags and data editing.…”

“…Identity theft is a growing crime in the digital world that involves stealing people's identity to commit crimes such as financial robberies, money laundering, and drug and human trafficking. According to reports, identity fraud cost $1.1 billion in Australia in 2001 to 2002, $1.72 billion in the UK from 2002 to 2006 and $50 billion in the United States in 2003 …”

“…This article focuses on the active-passive mode and discusses the possibility of restoring erased data by exploiting selected registers in the NDEF tag. Efficient erasure of data from the NFC tag is of extreme importance because if the data are not erased properly, there are chances that data is still available on the tag that might be reused for stealing personal identity, for example, failing to properly erase personal identification data from a tag, such as contact information, personal profiles, Wi-Fi passcodes, 5 Furthermore, if an attacker obtains the information on the tag, he/she can predict the format of the data written on the tag, which could aid in cloning the tag for future attacks on the system. Mitrokotsa et al classified RFID attacks as tag removal, cloning and spoofing, and unauthorized tag reading.…”

Near‐Field Communication (NFC) applications are growing at a rapid pace due to their user‐friendly nature and cost effectiveness. The growth of NFC applications has caught the attention of attackers who can target NFC entities (eg, tags and readers) to gain access to any stored information. NFC is a nascent technology that offers ease of use and secure communication. However, this technology can act as a doorway for major hacks, such as skimming and other identity theft problems. This article presents a technique that can still read the erased data from an NFC tag even if the tag has been erased employing conventional techniques. Furthermore, a set of recommendations is provided for the proper erasure of NFC tags to avoid leaving any traces of the erased data.

“…Usage of homographic encryption system is seen implemented most recently by Diaz et al [14] in order to secure the communication system of airport exclusively focusing on the baggage control system. Another recent work has been carried out by Majumder et al [15] have discussed a novel cloaking system to secure the electronic payment system, e.g., Samsung pay, google wallet, PayPal, etc. The paper has also discussed about existing research work towards payment system on NFC along with their verification techniques.…”

The increasing pace in the wireless communication taking momentum in the market of commercial application where a significant trade-off between user-experience and security demands exists. The Near Field Communication or NFC is one such communication trend which is effectively adopted by the user worldwide to make touchless operation using their mobile device. Although, it is claimed that NFC incorporates some of the standard encryption but existing researchers fails to prove that their electromagnetic signals are not so difficult to compromise to result in collateral damage to user's resources. Thus, there exist research work towards strengthing security system, but there is yet to report on any standard security protocol or framework to ensure the highest resiliency. This paper provides a comprehensive visualization towards the effectiveness of existing research approaches to formulate the research trend and gap.
