Abstract

Systems and methods to secure near field communications (NFC) are disclosed. An NFC polling device may detect a change in voltage when attempting to communicate with another NFC device and based at least in part on the magnitude of the change in voltage if there is an attempted hacking and/or snooping event. The NFC polling device may further identify the number of modulation voltage levels detected and determine if there is an attempted hacking event based on the number of modulation voltage levels detected.
