NFC Technology Allows Securely Electric Payments

Posted on by

Have you ever heard the term NFC? Have you ever watched a smartphone that features the NFC? What exactly is the NFC? The NFC originated from the forum called Near Field Communication is a non-profit association founded in 2004. This forum aims to implement standardization and promote NFC technology. Until now, the NFC has a membership of about 160 members and consists of manufacturing developers companies and financial institutions.

You must already know the ATM card, in principle; the NFC has similarities with the ATM card. But the difference is that NFC technology is the development of card technology Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is not necessary to be swiped into a tool but brought near enough to the reader. In several countries have applied to the payment of the freeway paid.

So if your smartphone has NFC features then HP can act as a means of payment as well as a reader. For the first time NFC technology integrated into the SIM card that allows the operator to enter the NFC services directly to the card itself. So that will make it easier when performing data exchange between devices such as moving image files, data, in a more simple and convenient. Even credit card information can be safely stored on the SIM card.

The entire NFC device can read and write information at a speed of 424 Kb / s. NFC connection occurs when there is a connection between compatible devices with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. What about security? If you have never been lost or stolen your data, then the NFC can guarantee the communication between devices.

Some applications of NFC technology features:

  • With mobile devices that have been integrated with NFC you can make credit card payments.
  • Payment of an electronic ticket for use of highways paid.
  • Download data as a schedule of departure and arrival of planes or trains.
  • Payment of a train ticket, airline or hotel reservations.
  • Download personal electronic documents, photos and other digital multimedia content as well.
  • P2P connection for easy transmission of information between wireless devices

NFC technology will make life easier and more convenient because it’s easier to exchange digital content, conduct transactions and liaison between electronic devices safely and quickly.

Knowing the DLNA Certified

DLNA is a way of revolution can change the user to discover, download, store, send, printing digital content and game play. Some of these devices can connect and communicate with each other. What is needed is a network either wired or wireless. Just as broadband internet.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) initiated by Sony in 2003. From the beginning DLNA is a non-profit trade alliance has a membership of 250 companies. That DLNA is a standard-based technology used to facilitate the users to exchange content. Each device can give or receive photos, music, videos, etc. from one device to other devices that are both certified DLNA. Until the first quarter of 2011, already more than 9000 DLNA certified devices. More than 1000 television that has been verified DLNA.

Examples of application are: when you have a collection of movies stored in PC networks certified DMS (Digital Media Server). So instead of just watching the movie screen is a tiny PC’s monitor afterward you be able to send the film content to the LED TV in the living room. Obviously the LED TV has been adopted as a DLNA Certified DMP (Digital Media Player). So the film’s content can be displayed by that LED TV.

Nor may the case with music, when you make favorite music list into a PC network. When using DLNA Certified that can be certified as a controller of the mobile digital media (M-DMC), so you can find the song you want, then transferred and played on wireless speakers DLNA Certified.

Obviously daily increasing this DLNA certified products. So users are spoiled with the ease in selecting the preferred device. In enliven their e-life style. It’s a digital living.

Cloud Computing and Virtualization

Associated with storage management solutions, other issues are no less interesting is the virtualization and Cloud Computing. One of the popular virtualization software from VMware Inc. is VMware, which meets the needs of virtual desktops and storage servers. Virtualization software is able to perform an efficient cloning process and the virtual machine boot process faster.

A variety of business applications that are vital and critical (eg MS SQL Server and the database SAP) has begun to move into the virtual platform. Because it required serious treatment that anticipates what if the application fails to run, or run back to the virtual machine if necessary.

To that end, collaboration VMware and Symantec produce Symantec VirtualStore and Symantec ApplicationHA that gives customers the ability to perform critical business application virtualization with confidence, and minimize storage costs on the VMware platform.

Cloud Computing, which is one of the hottest topics today, the adoption of the cloud (either public or private) may be required by the company. Public cloud may be required for applications that are not critical, while the private cloud infrastructure can be built for intranet applications. There are two main problems that Cloud Computing is often a concern of people, namely the availability of data and who can read the data, what if the data is missing or not readable by the party responsible? The answer to this problem is the technology itself, a reliable and informative. This technology is supported by encryption technology that allows customers to have their own private key to access the data. For the record in relation to security and encryption, Symantec made acquisitions in the PGP Corporation and Verisign in 2010.

Cloud Computing will become a new platform, where a variety of applications will switch to that platform. On the security side in the future, encryption can be individualized. People can give permissions/rights only on the parties are allowed to access the data because of security solutions with close/block specific access is not effective. In a market perspective, large companies can do a review about optimization and data center management, while for small/medium enterprises can also consider the full range of reliable solutions available.
