Further Research Required
From the many uses to the many social and security concerns, there is still much to be decided when it comes to Near Field Communication. Companies and consumers planning to use NFC technologies in the future will have tough decisions to make between speed and security.
The NFC Forum and device manufacturers have their work cut out for them as well. Increasing its uses while maintaining little to no security vulnerabilities is no small feat. So despite its years in the making, the NFC technology is still considered to be in its infant stages and continues to be beta-tested among several leading devices. Rumors state that Apple, a leading mobile device manufacturer here in the United States, is continuing to trail the sidelines. The key for many companies is to not invest an un-recoverable amount of capital into research and development of NFC, especially if the platform doesn’t fully go mainstream.
