“…Serfass and Yoshigoe [12] propose an Android-based framework for NFC peer-to-peer communication that allows This work transferring arbitrary data. Similar to that, Haase et al [13] present an NFC-based configuration framework for sensors and actuators used in home automation contexts. However, due to the home automation focus, the security level provided by that approach is considered as insufficient for industrial scenarios.…”

Abstract-The necessity to (re-)configure Internet of Things devices such as smart sensors during their entire lifecycle is becoming more important due to recent attacks targeting these devices. Allowing configuration parameters to be changed in any phase of a smart sensor's lifecycle allows security updates or new key material to be applied. Also, the functionality of a smart sensor can be altered by changing its configuration. The challenges that need to be considered when enabling the configuration of arbitrary parameters are the security and usability of the configuration interface, the secured storage of confidential configuration data, and the attestation of successfully applied configuration updates. Therefore, we present an NFC-based configuration approach that relies on dedicated secured hardware to solve these challenges. In addition to a hardware extension for smart sensors, we also present a secured configuration protocol as well as a two-layer configuration attestation process to verify the correct utilization of all transmitted configuration parameters.

“…NFC technology is also capable in controlling things wirelessly. For example, extension of sensors and actuators devices with NFC module [16]. Their proposal had implemented a Smarthomatic sensor device that was expanded by the addition of an NFC chip along with an Android application for smartphones [16].…”

Document management system is an essential approach that should be managed well to ensure an effective and faster overall working process in an organization. Hardcopy documents has been one of the items that most organizations need to manage in a safe and secure manner due to the high dependency on most of their working procedure especially in government organizations. Hence, we proposed a new framework to improve the weaknesses of the existing document management procedures in government organizations. Our proposed framework integrates the implementation of an NFC system in this research due to its secure short - range communication, and the peer-to-peer communication capability in most mobile devices. Besides that, most existing government organizations within Malaysia could easily implement such technology for their internal usage as this technology is cost effective due to its availability on existing mobile devices on most Android based devices.

“…In their approach, the firmware of passive CRFID tags is reprogrammed using the Electronic Product Code (EPC) protocol. Haase et al [19] present an NFC based configuration solution for sensors and actuators in the home automation context. The authors propose to extend existing hardware with an NFC module that can then be used as a configuration interface for standard smart phones.…”

“…As can be seen there, all but one approach do not consider security at all. The approach presented by Haase et al [19] mentions encryption but only encrypts the data while it is transferred via NFC. The data, however, can be read and changed on the Android smartphone.…”

Abstract-In smart factories and smart homes, devices such as smart sensors are connected to the Internet. Independent of the context in which such a smart sensor is deployed, the possibility to change its configuration parameters in a secure way is essential. Existing solutions do provide only minimal security or do not allow to transfer arbitrary configuration data. In this paper, we present an NFC-and QR-code based configuration interface for smart sensors which improves the security and practicability of the configuration altering process while introducing as little overhead as possible. We present a protocol for configuration as well as a hardware extension including a dedicated security controller (SC) for smart sensors. For customers, no additional hardware other than a commercially available smartphone will be necessary which makes the proposed approach highly applicable for smart factory and smart home contexts alike.
