technology to security access control purposes what we meet in our life at work, shops and everywhere where security of people, goods or premises are highly taken into account. The aim of this thesis is finding out economic possibilities to use Near FieldCommunication technology into security access control management.
This work studied the economic aspects and possibilities of implementing NFC technology into security access control segment. Information was collected of current situation and what kind of applications was currently available and expected to succeed in the future. After dealing with these aspects, there were negative and positive impacts evaluated what NFC would be security access control solutions.
