As a reminder, CCC Digital Key is a standardized ecosystem that allows mobile devices to store, authenticate and exchange digital keys for vehicles in a secure and confidential way that works everywhere. Digitizing car keys enables keys to be shared with family and friends, and opens up new concepts of mobility. In turn, NFC is a standard feature of nearly three billion smartphones and is increasingly used in smart cars, making it one of the most versatile technologies in the world.

“Smartphones and other NFC-enabled devices that are CR13 compliant can support a wide variety of NFC implementations as well as improve user experience and can be used in many other applications that support a contactless lifestyle, including payments, smart homes, identity, mobility, and the Internet of Things. “, – said in a press release published by the NFC Forum.
