1. A method of activation and authorization of a near field communication (NFC) enabled device comprising:

  • compiling login information associated with the NFC enabled device and a user of the NFC enabled device by generating a public key associated with the NFC enabled device and receiving specific information of the user;

    transmitting the compiled login information to a server via network;

    receiving, via network, packet data generated by the server in response to the login information, wherein the packet data comprises data associated with the NFC enabled device and comprises one of country data, currency data, language data, or activation code;

    generating a corresponding code based on the packet data received;

    transmitting, via network, the corresponding code, wherein the receiving of the packet data and the transmitting of the corresponding code facilitate an initial activation and authorization of the NFC enabled device at the server;

    storing the packet data in the NFC enabled device; and

    activating the NFC enabled device in response to an NFC link being established, by accessing the stored packet data that permits a subsequent activating of the NFC enabled device without further authorizing of the NFC enabled device at the server.
