  • Publication number: 20260059282
    Abstract: An improved approach is proposed for adapting available NFC channels to establish a bi-directional NFC channel where no such channel would otherwise be available. The approach is adapted for usage between a mobile device and a target receiver, such as a point of sale (POS) device, both having NFC capabilities. Specific approaches are proposed to orchestrate communications to prevent collisions. The NFC channels can be operated alongside secure elements to establish a dynamic cryptographic handshake that is used for enhancing trust levels for sensitive communications or transactions.
