Trusted NFC guide: Ensuring every NFC scan is tamper-proof and verifiable

Get a clear, practical overview of how Kinexio’s Trusted NFC technology prevents spoofing, refresh hacks, and false positives; ensuring every NFC scan is genuine and audit-ready.

Most NFC tags look identical, but traditional tags can be refreshed, cloned, or spoofed, creating unreliable data and unfair blame for frontline teams. As highlighted in the collateral, Kinexio Trusted NFC eliminates these risks by generating a unique, encrypted signature for every tap, making it impossible to fake or replay.

FAQ

What is Trusted NFC technology?

Trusted NFC is Kinexio’s patented, cryptographically secure NFC technology designed to eliminate spoofing, refresh hacks, and false positives. Unlike standard NFC tags, each Trusted NFC tag generates a unique, encrypted signature every time it’s tapped, ensuring the scan cannot be copied, replayed, or faked. This provides tamper-proof assurance and reliable operational data.

How is Trusted NFC different from traditional NFC tags?

Traditional NFC tags can be cloned or refreshed, making them vulnerable to manipulation. This means scans may appear legitimate even when no physical tap took place. Trusted NFC removes this risk by using a secure chip that produces a one-time, verifiable code at each interaction. This guarantees that every scan is genuine and validated through Kinexio’s secure cloud platform.

Why does Trusted NFC matter for proof of presence?

NFC Proof of presence workflows rely on accurate, unalterable scan data. If data can be spoofed, accountability collapses. Trusted NFC ensures each interaction is cryptographically verified and tied to a specific time, place, and user, creating a clean, auditable chain of evidence. This is essential for security patrols, cleaning checks, compliance inspections, and risk reporting.
