An apparatus and method for short range communication in a mobile terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) unit for sending and receiving data to and from the outside according to near field communication, a smart card having multiple contact points, and a security module, connected with one of the contact points of the smart card through a single wire protocol, for decrypting data from the NFC unit and sending the decrypted data to the smart card, and for encrypting data from the smart card and sending the encrypted data to the NFC unit. Hence, it is possible to provide an encryption and decryption function independently of the COS, establish a common encryption and decryption standard, and secure reliability of encryption and decryption.
