Abstract:
1. A method for selectively securing records in a Near Field Communication Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message in a Near Field Communication (NFC) device, the method comprising: generating a place marker signature record by setting a URI_present field to ‘0’ and setting a signature_type field to a predefined value, wherein a combination of the URI_present field set to ‘0’ and the signature_type field set to the predefined value indicates that a signature Record Type Definition (RTD) is a place marker signature record, the URI_present field indicating whether a signature or a reference to the signature is present in the record; and placing the place marker signature record before a first record of a first set of records to be secured in the NDEF message, wherein the set of records, which follows the place marker signature record until a next signature RTD, is secured, and a second set of records preceding the place marker signature record is unsecured.
