An architecture is presented that facilitates maintaining a log of near
field transactions in a memory module that includes security
functionalities and near field communication (NFC) capabilities. The
memory module comprises non-volatile memory that stores security software
and a security processor that accesses the security software from the
nonvolatile memory and performs security functions based on the security
software stored. The non-volatile memory is divided into partitions by
the security processor. NFC radio frequency (RF) communication
capabilities are integrated into the memory module such that the memory
module directly interfaces to an external NFC antenna. This facilitates
NFC communications within the secure environment of the memory module.
Further, the memory module stores data related to near field transactions
so that this data can be subsequently reviewed and exported in an
appropriate format.
