This thesis will look into what kind of dangers arises with the use of NFC compared. In relationship with this an analysis of the Basic Access Control in passport is also researched. The thesis will also make an analysis of the security advantages NFC gives. Another area this thesis will look into is the trustworthiness of NFC tags containing information.
