Abstract

The development of smartphone technology has led to a more convenient and faster digital transactions. One of the transactions that has been affected by the change of business process is the boarding transaction in airports. The conventional boarding process requires a printed boarding pass and an identity card. The use of smartphones enables the data to be stored digitally, supporting paperless transactions. Both boarding pass and identity card can only be used by the right holder. Hence, passengers need to take care of their boarding pass, so that it can only be used once. Types of technology often utilised for transactions are Near Field Communication (NFC) and QR Code. However, these tools may be vulnerable to security gaps. For example, the data might be transferable easily using the screenshot feature in digital smartphones. The advantage of using NFC technology is that the data can be encrypted and sent using peer-to-peer networking, therefore, the data cannot be read without a set of encryption methods. This study concluded that NFC technology had an advantage of security compared to QR Code. Further research may investigate the application of biometric data as a security enhancement in digital transactions.
