  • Patent number: 9432088
    Abstract: Technologies are presented for securing NFC exchange through movement of at least one of the communicating devices. In some examples, a first device, utilizing a communication module and a processor, may transmit an initial NFC handshake signal as the first device is being moved relative to a second device. The second device, utilizing a communication module, two or more antennae, and a processor, may receive the initial NFC handshake signal from the first device. Each device may record a movement of the first device. The second device may transmit a message to the first device that includes a recording of the movement at the second device and a temporary secret. Once the first device determines that the movement recorded at the second device matches the movement recorded at the first device, the first device may use the temporary secret to encrypt further communication with the second device.
