Enhancing Security and Quality of Service in NFC-based Smartphone Applications

The primary objective of this MITACS Cluster project is to investigate, design and prototype novel

techniques for the integration of security and quality of service in near field communication (NFC)-

based smartphone applications. Universal NFC Cloud Connect Inc., a new start-up company based in

Halifax, Nova Scotia, that ties mobile devices to location-specific events via the Cloud, thus enabling

anyone with an NFC-based smartphone to be identified at a specific location at a specific time.

However, two important challenges that need to be addressed before the product can be successfully

deployed are security and quality of service (QoS). The project will explore techniques that will

integrate existing security and QoS protocols with novel identity-based encryption and QoS

enhancement algorithms on smartphone applications. The Cluster project will be a crucial part in the

partner organization’s road to commercialization of the product. This can open up enormous

application possibilities in a variety of consumer application areas, such as the hospitality industry…………..TBC
