An architecture is presented that facilitates integrating memory, security functionalities and near field communication (NFC) capabilities in a mobile device. A memory module is provided that comprises non-volatile memory that stores security software, sensitive data, and keys and a security processor that accesses the security software from the nonvolatile memory and performs security functions based on the security software stored. A NFC radio frequency transmitter and receiver (RF) is directly integrated into the security processor to facilitate NFC capabilities within the secure environment of the memory module. Further, the non-volatile memory directly interfaces to an NFC antenna positioned outside of the memory module via the integrated NFC RF. The integration of the security processor, memory, and NFC RF into the memory module provides a trusted environment for the manipulation and decryption of data received through the NFC antenna.
