Abstract
It is described a method, a control device, and a computer program for enabling/disabling at least one near field communication (NFC) function of a mobile device (MD). It is further described such a MD. The method comprises (a) associating the at least one NFC function to be enabled/disabled with a corresponding secure application (SA) installed in a secure element (SE) system; (b) checking whether the SA complies with a predefined secure condition; (c) if the SA complies with the predefined secure condition, transmitting a notification from the SA to the NFC control system (NFCC) via an interface between the SE system and the NFCC; and (d) enabling/disabling, by the NFCC, the at least one NFC function based on information comprised by the transmitted notification.
