Assured Security
Transactions between the card and the reader/writer, including reading and writing of data, are possible by simply bringing the card close to the reader/writer. There is no need to take the card from the pass case or wallet. The card, containing an IC chip and antenna, is powered by electromagnetic signal received from the reader/writer.
Mutual authentication between the card and reader/writer is based on a secret key system using internally generated random numbers. All communications between the card and reader/writer (or between the reader/writer and controller) are encrypted using these numbers, while keys are changed according to application to safeguard against data interception and falsification. As the result, FeliCa offers the security required to handle financial and administrative applications, including e-money, online payment and personal identification.

Symmetrical Communication System FeliCa employs a symmetrical communication system, which uses the same modulation/demodulation system for communication from the reader/writer to the card and vice versa. This not only makes it easy to integrate both IC card and reader/writer functions into a single device but also allows communication between such devices. As the result, FeliCa IC chips have the potential to be used in a variety of new ways, such as an integral card/card viewer and a mobile terminal incorporating functions of both the card and reader/writer.
