Abstract

Recently, the potential of m-commerce by the combination of mobile and NFC aroused great momentum on e-commerce market. In particular, the variety of mCoupon services based on NFC has been utilized in consumer marketing instruments. However, the status of security technology for NFC based coupon service is very low. Related providers were considering method for just-in NFC service marketing case. And limited resource of NFC tag is difficult to deal with occurring security threats in NFC mCoupon service. In this paper, we proposed a light-weight authentication scheme for practical NFC mCoupon service that provides efficient and secure signature scheme against illegal use in mCoupon environment based on low-cost NFC tag for using light-weight authentication method.
