چکیده
With the Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities, emerging smartphones can expand customized hardware in outside. However, the realization of such technology is still in its infancy. This paper proposes a prototyping technology of NFC tag protocol used for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) converter for smartphones healthcare aids. The NFC-TENS design consists of four layer of ISO/IEC-14443A tag standard with a TENS realized in the application layer. One side of which is the wireless communication to NFC reader of smartphone and the other side the TENS pulse signal generation for massage. The implementation is based-on FPGA rapid prototyping technology combined with the Android system that supported for NFC standards. The results reveal that smartphones healthcare is feasibly improving the healthcare behavior while comparing with the traditional TENS. Keywords—FPGA rapid prototyping; TENS; NFC tag protocol; smartphone healthcare; Manchester coding; Modified Miller coding; HW/SW co-design

Differential Power Analysis (DPA) implies measuring the supply current of a cipher-circuit in an attempt to uncover part of a cipher key. Cryptographic security gets compromised if the current waveforms obtained correlate with those from a hypothetical power model of the circuit. As FPGAs are becoming integral parts of embedded systems and increasingly popular for cryptographic applications and...
