    Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging technology for short range wireless communication. Based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologyNFC provides a medium for the identi fication protocols that validate secure data transfer. It is designed to enable the exchange of various types of information between two NFC enabled devices in close proximity. NFC is considered to be useful in many areas namely payment, peer-to-peer communication, service initiation etc. In this paper we discuss how NFC is appliedfor access control. Since NFC is expected to be widely used in air travel in the near future, we focus our scope on using NFC for controlling access in a business class lounge at an airport. The design and implementation of different aspects have been carried out to maintain the effectiveness of access control and reduced cost. Features of the system ensure a unique personalized experience for the users.
