NFC Authentication Protocol Technical Specification

The NFC Authentication Protocol Technical Specification describes the basic mechanism for applications needing an authentication and/or a secured data transfer.

The NFC Authentication Protocol 1.0 technical specification describes cryptographic mechanisms that can be used for different purposes. Next to the establishment of a secure channel and high speed authentication, these mechanisms can also be used, for example, to pair an NFC-enabled phone with an NFC-enabled door lock to allow secure access.

The NFC Authentication Protocol 1.0 technical specification was adopted in December 2022. There were no changes from the Candidate version.
