Abstract
An apparatus comprises a first processing device comprising near field communication (NFC) interface circuitry, a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The first processing device is configured to establish an NFC connection with an NFC tag using the NFC interface circuitry, receive a shared secret established between the NFC tag and an authentication server in an authentication protocol, and present a cryptographic value derived from the shared secret to a second processing device. The cryptographic value is utilizable by the second processing device for authenticating to the authentication server.
