"We are RF-SIM card solution to production problems, I believe this year will be a gradual development of RF-SIM card large-scale testing, so that the public as soon as possible through mobile phones' contactless' services in the subway and bus ticketing and so small To pay. "Leading operators in the province to accept the" communications industry "correspondent said. In fact, as this new business will aim at the RFID of a few operators, China Mobile's where a lot of operators have already quietly begun to develop contactless mobile payment services, expect to benefit from them.
RF-SIM is
Based on a SIM card near / medium-range wireless communications technology, this technology is the NFC Near Field Communication (NearFieldCommunication) A, it will have a radio frequency RF the module features embedded in the SIM card, use the 2.4G microwave frequencies Data communications.
At present, the development of RF-SIM is in its infancy, but our country is no national standards for RFID and communications industry standards, the current RF-SIM card from a major test of functional tests to start.
RFID is responsible for operating the pay phone operator in-house staff, told reporters, in response to the RF-SIM function tests, in doing both, on the one hand, business cards in the laboratory of the SIM card function tests to ensure that RF technology Does not affect the original by adding SIM cards for mobile communication; on the other hand, the test is in response to a specific industry applied in a few days ago to meet the existing industry technical standards, so that consumers can use a normal business. In order to pay for public transportation as an example, RF-SIM card must be able to meet the existing technical standards for RFID public transport card, is the only way, RF-SIM card can be achieved with the use of the original "bus cards" to share.
It is reported that for the above-mentioned operators to provide RF-SIM technology companies through the Hong Kong telecommunications, the company's marketing head of Wen Ho Lee, through telecommunications is a major RF-SIM card technology research and development and amendments to the above, the basic non - To do the test, the main business parameters and testing by the operator partners to complete.
"Only in the security, stability of the public to meet the customer's application requirements before they can be counted as a successful test." Carriers of the staff of the mobile business to pay the test very seriously. And the general application of technology in the early testing of ideas in line, all in order to meet customer demand-driven. At present, in accordance with the RF-SIM application carried out for security, credit card and a series of test time.
From the "norm" still a long way to test
At present, the mobile phone business to pay a lot of technology solutions, such as SIMPASS, SWP, and so on, they basically can easily pay phone. But from the point of the position of operators, prefer not to be selected other industries link the technical limitations, so SIMPASS, RF-SIM that rely on the SIM card out of the technology. SIMPASS used 13.56M of the spectrum, there is reference to the international ISO14443 standard, but there are a lot of immature technology. The RF-SIM is still in development, standards have not yet formed, it can be said of their test is a challenge.
According to Tektronix (China) Co., Ltd. RF products business development manager Cheng Jun, the regular RF technology for mobile payment tests should cover three aspects of the test. The first is the use of radio and regulations in line with the testing, the use of radio frequency spectrum resources, laws and regulations provide for the issuance, including the frequency of various types of RFID systems of power, ACPR, OBW (EBW) and has done a spurious and other provisions in order to avoid radio system Conflict and interference.
The second is for the RFID industry standard compliance testing, RFID industry standard definition of a major RFID system physical layer protocols and high-level agreement to ensure the smooth coordination of the system to work.
The third aspect is unique to the standard pay phone, with the exception of the application of the test should be conducted, but also need the same radio frequency and mechanism of the SIM card for EMC electromagnetic compatibility testing.
Can see that the current testing is in response to the third, did not use the radio regulations and industry standards for RFID testing. The reason, experts say, first of all, China is not the formation of the RFID industry standards for communications, there is no specification can refer to the guidelines, if the application of RF-SIM successful, it could recommend guidelines for the industry; Second, the current location of the micro-payment , Not to interfere with testing carried out.
Safety testing needs attention
Tektronix laboratory attached to the short-range wireless communications laboratory project manager Xiao-Lei Wang Although the standard for quite worried about being late, but he is more worried about mobile payment security problems.
He pointed out: "For domestic companies, when the technology is applied to a certain extent, standard on a matter of course, but the RFID security issue is not so easy to resolve, but also difficult test."
Not long ago, U.S. security vendors McAfee's expert David Gregg also said that mobile phones to pay the current serious security risks, possible consumer financial data security risk. At present, most of the used cell phones to pay NFC, the technology can phone in the consumer adoption of wireless data transmission business to the reader, but the vast majority of mobile phones is not installed any security software.
At present, many professionals believe that the occurrence of mobile phone payment fraud is a simple matter. According to the pay phone features, as long as someone with a card reader (that is, we often say that the POS machine), from the consumer's cell phone within a specified range, consumers can not detect, so that the mobile phone consumer spending.
Although the pay phone to pay for the small, no privacy, and other security secrets, but experts believe that the "security application" is also a need to consider the focus, from a technical point of view, RF-SIM smart card security chip, chip itself has been the original manufacturers Has done a safety certification, RF device is just a communication device, over the air content of the communications card in the use of automatic encryption algorithm for encryption and decryption. RF-SIM means to focus on the underlying encryption chip at the same time according to different applications use application-level authentication for customer choice.
Xiao-Lei Wang has been a lot of contact with cell phones to pay for encryption and authentication of the vendor, but he believes in the safety testing is still difficult. Gentile is currently using a laboratory instrument in Spain to carry out safety tests, but there are many This instrument can not solve the problem, because a lot of security encryption of the content of their own intellectual property rights, he hoped that the internal security of the testing instrument can be developed as soon as possible.
