Communications techniques for a secure near field communication architecture

摘要

Communication techniques for a secure near field communication (NFC) architecture are described. In one embodiment, for example, a wireless communications device may comprise a processor circuit, an application processor (AP) for execution on the processor circuit to generate a near field communication controller interface (NCI) packet, a secure element (SE) to wrap the NCI packet in a host controller protocol (HCP) packet, and an NFC controller to receive the HCP packet, the NFC controller comprising a tunneling module to obtain the NCI packet by unwrapping the HCP packet. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a processor circuit; an application processor (AP) for execution on the processor circuit to generate a near field communication controller interface (NCI) packet; a secure element (SE) to receive the NCI packet from the AP and wrap the NCI packet in a host controller protocol (HCP) packet; and a near field communication (NFC) controller to receive the HCP packet from the SE, the NFC controller comprising a tunneling module to obtain the NCI packet by unwrapping the HCP packet.
