Near Field Communication (NFC) technology will be the next vital enhancement to your cell phone. Today cell phone is used for internet surfing, mobile banking, entertainment and lot more. NFC will enhance the current functionalities in more advanced form. Its touch and go principle will ease the people s life. Our study shows that as this technology grows more and more in daily life applications it will help intruder to enter in your personal life hitting the personal privacy. However there are different aspects of looking at the security and privacy issues of such devices. We have thrown light on different aspects and implementation of NFC technology. In case of using strong asymmetric cryptography for secure communication will definitely increase the transaction time. So Elliptic curve cryptography could be a choice in this situation. Loosing the NFC device in such a condition that when you have all your home/car keys debit/credits cards in it will point to single point of failure. Embedding NFC technology with low powered devices will result in single point of failure in case of power failure. NFC devices will help intruder to pin point your location due to tractability feature.

Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, Royal Holloway, University of London, course: Msc Information Security, language: English, abstract: NFC technology is considered extremely secure for communication and the number of phones that can support NFC is also at a rise. The technology is gaining worldwide recognition and as it is easy to implement and since it is really economical numerous applications are using it. Most of NFC applications involve the usage of tags, which can easily be duplicated or can be replaced by a fake one. Therefore, though the technology is so useful and secure, this weakness makes it vulnerable to certain attacks. NFC has numerous applications but in this thesis, I will be discussing various security threats related to NFC applications involving NFC tag and an NFC enabled smartphone, for example smart posters. This thesis will evaluate various security threats like phishing, exposure to adult content etc., what they are and how an attacker can carry out these attacks. Further discussion will be on what an artificial neural network (ANN) is and how it can be used to eliminate these threats. The thesis also proposes a security model that will use ANN, to provide security against threats and will also provide user confidentiality, anonymity and privacy, and a category classifier to increase the overall efficiency of the model and to decrease the memory usage, and will also provide users with an added feature of personalizing their security according to their requirements.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a recent technology that has been rapidly implemented in different areas in the market. NFC is a wireless communication technology that enables fast and low cost transaction to be conducted. This technology is based on RFID technology which has been in the market for over a decade. However, NFC comes to serve the areas where RFID failed to do so; areas that requires short range and a quick transaction. NFC has been already implemented in various fields including payment systems, access control systems, monitoring systems, ticketing systems, and many more. However, NFC technology is very recent in comparison to the other wireless technologies. This fact highlights the importance of carrying further studies that investigates the readiness of NFC technology as a service enabler, specifically in low risk tolerance systems such as payment systems. Google wallet is one of the first movers toward implementing NFC into a payment system called Google wallet. Yet, attackers could not resist the temptation of breaking such a new technology. Relay attack was introduced as one of the main threats that have been exploited by attackers. This research studies the security threats and gaps in NFCbased systems, and examines the feasibility of several countermeasures such as setting a time constraint, applying Distance-bounding protocol, and the possibility of procedural improvement.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short range wireless communication protocol which is primarily intended to be used on mobile phones. Building upon existing infrastructure of RFID, NFC brings simplicity for connection of mobile devices, service initiation, mobile payment and ticketing. However, NFC still remains as a field that number of researches done are limited. The aim of this paper was to provide solutions for the problems of NFC that cause security risks and hurt user experience. To reach this goal we have reviewed the current literature and implemented an NFC application that we have used throughout our user experience tests. This application provides a practical way to store and transfer contact information using NFC. The results of the study indicated that usability and security suffer from lack of user awareness and physical design of the mobile phones.

This dissertation evaluates the design of several defense schemes for wireless medical devices to address security issues. These schemes are designed to enable efficient and effective access control of wireless medical devices in both non-emergency and emergency situations. In recent years, the range of available wireless medical devices has increased and includes cardiac pacemakers, insulin pump, defibrillators, cochlear implants, neurostimulators, and various drug delivery systems. Unfortunately, most existing wireless medical devices lack sufficient security mechanisms to protect patients from malicious attacks. Thus, with the rise in use of medical implants, security becomes a critical issue as attacks on wireless medical devices may harm patients. Security on wireless medical devices is a relatively new field, which has not been thoroughly researched yet. The authors of a lot of articles have proposed token based, certification based and proximity based schemes to address the issue. However, most of the current solutions have many limitations and cannot be widely applied. Therefore, better solutions are needed. In order to address this issue, we design a novel and multiple-layer access control framework for wireless medical devices. In a low layer level, we utilize bi-channel technology and multi-factor authentication to defend against various attacks at wireless medical devices. Our system utilizes near field communication (NFC) to do device pairing and uses the medical device's wireless radio to perform remote programming. This approach defends against most attacks because our NFC pairing scheme guarantees that the successful communication range between the programmer and wireless medical devices is less than 6cm. When the patient is in a crowded area such as on public transportation, a different person's mobile devices and the patient's medical devices may be located less than 6cm apart; we use the patient's cell phone to detect such an environment. To avoid attacks in crowded areas, we design a scheme to detect such a situation using the patient's cell phone. User involvement is used on non-implantable medical devices (IMDs) and a patient access pattern based access control (PAPAC) scheme is used on IMDs. We also design a response time based scheme to defend against fake patient attacks. Our analyses and experiments show that the protection schemes are efficient and effective. In a high layer level, we design patient infusion pattern based access control (PIPAC) scheme for wireless medical devices. Specifically, insulin pumps are most widely applied wireless medical devices. The pump parameters and doses can be adjusted by anyone with an easily obtained USB device. The hacker can deliver a lethal dose without knowing the device's serial number in advance. To address this issue, we propose a PIPAC for wireless insulin pumps. This scheme employs a supervised learning approach to learn normal patient infusion patterns in terms of the dosage amount, rate, and time of infusion, which are automatically recorded in insulin pump logs. The generated regression models are used to dynamically configure a safe infusion range for abnormal infusion identification. Our proposed algorithms are evaluated with real insulin pump logs used by several patients for up to 6 months. The experimental results demonstrate that our scheme can reliably detect a single overdose attack with a success rate up to 98\% and defend against a chronic overdose attack with a very high success rate. For IMDs in non-emergency case, the PAPAC scheme we design utilizes the patient's IMD access pattern to address resource depletion (RD) attacks. It is a novel support vector machine (SVM) based scheme. This SVM based scheme is very effective at defending against RD attacks. Our experimental results show that the average detection rate is above 90\%. For IMDs in emergency cases, we design a novel biometrics based two-level secure access control scheme that utilizes a patient's biometrics to prevent unauthorized access to the IMD. The scheme consists of two levels: level-one employs a patient's some basic biometrics and is lightweight; level-two uses a patient's customized iris data to achieve effective authentication. The experimental results show that our IMD access control scheme is very effective and has small overhead in terms of battery, CPU and memory. Thus, it is suitable for IMDs. Both the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) are close to zero with a suitable threshold. Protecting wireless medical devices is a very challenging task due to their extremely limited resource constraints. It is necessary to balance the overhead of security schemes and security requirements. In this dissertation, we will first discuss security vulnerabilities in wireless medical device systems. Then we will present our framework using smart phones and other technologies, such as near field communication based access control. Further, we will describe the detailed design of this framework. Finally, extensive experiments show that our schemes can achieve good performance with small overhead.

Security And Privacy For Ubiquitous Mobile Devices written by Edmund Novak and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016 with Computer security categories.
We live in a world where mobile devices are already ubiquitous. It is estimated that in the United States approximately two thirds of adults own a smartphone, and that for many, these devices are their primary method of accessing the Internet. World wide, it is estimated that in May of 2014 there were 6.9 billion mobile cellular subscriptions, almost as much as the world population. Of these 6.9 billion, approximately 1 billion are smart devices, which are concentrated in the developed world. In the developing world, users are moving from feature phones to smart devices as a result of lower prices and marketing efforts. Because smart mobile devices are ubiquitous, security and privacy are primary concerns. Threats such as mobile malware are already substantial, with over 2500 different types identified in 2010 alone. It is likely that, as the smart device market continues to grow, so to will concerns about privacy, security, and malicious software. This is especially true, because these mobile devices are relatively new. Our research focuses on increasing the security and privacy of user data on smart mobile devices. We propose three applications in this domain: (1) a service that provides private, mobile location sharing; (2) a secure, intuitive proximity networking solution; and (3) a potential attack vector in mobile devices, which utilizes novel covert channels. We also propose a first step defense mechanism against these covert channels. Our first project is the design and implementation of a service, which provides users with private and secure location sharing. This is useful for a variety of applications such as online dating, taxi cab services, and social networking. Our service allows users to share their location with one another with trust and location based access controls. We allow users to identify if they are within a certain distance of one another, without either party revealing their location to one another, or any third party. We design this service to be practical and efficient, requiring no changes to the cellular infrastructure and no explicit encryption key management for the users. For our second application, we build a modem, which enables users to share relatively small pieces of information with those that are near by, also known as proximity based networking. Currently there are several mediums which can be used to achieve proximity networking such as NFC, bluetooth, and WiFi direct. Unfortunately, these currently available schemes suffer from a variety of drawbacks including slow adoption by mobile device hardware manufactures, relatively poor usability, and wide range, omni-directional propagation. We propose a new scheme, which utilizes ultrasonic (high frequency) audio on typical smart mobile devices, as a method of communication between proximal devices. Because mobile devices already carry the necessary hardware for ultrasound, adoption is much easier. Additionally, ultrasound has a limited and highly intuitive propagation pattern because it is highly directional, and can be easily controlled using the volume controls on the devices. Our ultrasound modem is fast, achieving several thousand bits per second throughput, non-intrusive because it is inaudible, and secure, requiring attackers with normal hardware to be less than or equal to the distance between the sender and receiver (a few centimeters in our tests). Our third work exposes a novel attack vector utilizing physical media covert channels on smart devices, in conjunction with privilege escalation and confused deputy attacks. This ultimately results in information leakage attacks, which allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive information stored on a user's smart mobile device such as their location, passwords, emails, SMS messages and more. Our attack uses our novel physical media covert channels to launder sensitive information, thereby circumventing state of the art, taint-tracking analysis based defenses and, at the same time, the current, widely deployed permission systems employed by mobile operating systems. We propose and implement a variety of physical media covert channels, which demonstrate different strengths such as high speed, low error rate, and stealth. By proposing several different channels, we make defense of such an attack much more difficult. Despite the challenging situation, in this work we also propose a novel defense technique as a first step towards research on more robust approaches. As a contribution to the field, we present these three systems, which together enrich the smart mobile experience, while providing mobile security and keeping privacy in mind. Our third approach specifically, presents a unique attack, which has not been seen in the wild, in an effort to keep ahead of malicious efforts.
