Pesticide overuse poses significant risks to human health and environmental integrity. Addressing the limitations of existing approaches, which struggle with the diversity of pesticide compounds, portability issues, and environmental sensitivity, this ...

Securely exchanging contact information is essential for establishing trustworthy communication channels that facilitate effective online collaboration. However, current methods are neither user-friendly nor scalable for large groups of users. In ...

Public displays are becoming ubiquitous in urban spaces but face challenges such as display blindness, interaction blindness, and attention competition. As mobile devices continue to evolve, people increasingly rely on smartphones as their primary means ...

Passports are part of critical infrastructure for a very long time. They also have been pieces of automatically processable information devices, more recently through the ISO/IEC 14443 (Near-Field Communication – NFC) protocol. For obvious reasons, it is ...

We present a computation fabrication workflow for generating and fabricating flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) designs of identifiable building blocks based on near-field communication (NFC) for rapid assembly. This workflow streamlines production ...

High-entropy random numbers are an essential part of cryptography, and Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) are an emergent technology that can provide high-quality keys for cryptographic algorithms but unfortunately are currently difficult to ...

• We propose a key distribution protocol to provide access to QRNG entropy to users.
• Our protocol employs zk-SNARKs to prevent the server from knowing who is requesting the key.
• We provide an implementation of the protocol that ...

In the modern times, the heavy footprint of Information and Communication Technologies in the everyday life brings multiple challenges to the ordinary citizen, like having a digital profile on numerous services and institutions. The spread of ...

In the recent years, the technology growth in the sector of USVs/UAVs has been enormous. Taking the growth and available facilities, we have attempted to use the quadcopters towards enhancing/increasing the efficiency in monitoring the warehouse through ...

Given the advantages of near field communication (NFC) mobile payments, this study investigates determinants of its intentions to use in a country with low adoption rates and examines to what extent COVID-19 exerts an influence. The proposed model ...

Near-Field Communication (NFC) is a widely adopted standard for embedded low-power devices in very close proximity. In order to ensure a correct system, it has to comply to the ISO/IEC 14443 standard. This paper concentrates on the low-level part ...

Daily digital payments in Financial Technology (FinTech) are growing exponentially. A huge demand is for developing secure, lightweight cryptography protocols for wearable IoT-based devices. The devices hold the consumer information and transit ...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and portable devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than 10 cm apart. NFC standards cover ...

Plugging a cable or peripheral into a device is an integral aspect of daily use of computing devices for most users. Yet, in low-light or constrained-visibility conditions the simple act of finding the receptacle to connect a cable to can be challenging ...

In this paper, we propose NFCStack, which is a physical building block system that supports stacking and frictionless interaction and is based on near-field communication (NFC). This system consists of a portable station that can support and resolve ...

We present the design and prototype of the DecoLeaves shirt, a battery-free wraparound style shirt that gives the autonomy to its wearer for modifying her appearance by moving a smartphone secretly in the shirt’s pocket. It is designed to express ...

Consumers use increasingly Near Field Communication mobile payment to buy products and services. However, the adoption of NFC mobile payment varies by individual attributes of consumers. This paper aims to study the generational differences in ...

To those of a certain age the concept of the mix-tape holds fond memories, and generally not of the musical content they contained, but rather the emotional and physical connection they represented with either its creator or recipient. They ...

The selection of appropriate clothing to match one's daily life is an important ritual for individuals across the globe. But this can be a Herculean task, especially for the visually impaired. Together with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) ...

The improvement of near field communication (NFC) technology has increased the number of its applications, although it is still incipient in the field of mobile payments. So far, studies that have analysed the adoption of NFC mobile payment systems have ...

The high value and volume of Italian wine production determines a strong stimulus for counterfeiting, which generates negative consequences for grape growers, winemakers and consumers. In this context, IoT technologies and the blockchain can serve ...
