Enhanced pseudonym based key agreement algorithm for near feild communication (NFC)

Nowadays, near field communication (NFC) has been implemented in many fields such as ticketing, public transport payment, credit cards and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) set up. In the near future, NFC is expected to replace credit cards in the electronic payment. Therefore, a security issue in...
