7 key questions answered regarding today’s security framework for delivering sensitive NFC mobile services.

In response to significant market demand for its host card emulation (HCE) and tokenisation services, FIME has broadened the scope of its white paper, which explains how the security framework for delivering near field communication (NFC) services needs to evolve to meet the business and technical requirements of all NFC stakeholders.

The updated version of the white paper focuses on the work of industry body GlobalPlatform, and the development of the wider mobile payments industry, to clarify and simplify the security certification process to achieve an approach which balances security, functionality and cost requirements.
