Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
configuring one or more communication pipes within a near field communication (NFC) router of a telecommunication device to implement NFC transactions, the one or more configured communication pipes being coupled between radio-frequency gates of the NFC router and physical gates of the NFC router assigned to a security circuit of the telecommunication device; and
detecting an attempt to use a pipe within the NFC router, other than one of the one or more configured communication pipes, to implement an NFC transaction, the detecting including:
receiving, by the security circuit, a message in a near field communication format via a pipe of the NFC router;
in response to the receiving, comparing bits associated with the pipe with bits stored by the telecommunications device and associated with the one or more configured communication pipes; and
in response to the comparing indicating the pipe is not one of the one or more configured communication pipes, blocking implementation of the NFC transaction.
