NFC

With iOS 6 comes a new feature called Passbook, which initially will be used to store travel passes, coupons, and loyalty cards. But some tech watchers think the new feature indicates based on near-field communication (NFC) built into Passbook.

AuthenTec's technology could help Apple padlock any NFC feature it implements. It would also make the iPhone more appealing to security-wary IT managers at large companies, many of which may be looking for an alternative to Research In Motion's BlackBerry devices, which face an uncertain future in spite of being a traditional favorite in the enterprise.
