NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM HAVING ENHANCED SECURITY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A near field communication system having enhanced security, comprising:
- a near field generator configured to generate a near field detectable signal having information encoded therein, wherein incidental electromagnetic radiation correlated to the information is produced when the near field detectable signal is generated; and
a masking signal transmitter configured to radiate a masking electromagnetic signal and to mask the incidental electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract
A near field communication system can include a near field generator configured to generate a near field detectable information signal. The near field generator and supporting circuitry also produces incidental electromagnetic radiation. A masking signal transmitter is used with the near field generator and radiates a masking electromagnetic signal. The masking electromagnetic signal may substantially mask the incidental electromagnetic radiation.
