Most of these normative statement appear to be restatements of Section 4.5.2 of NFC Forum’s LLCP version 1.4. The style of this document seems to be specifying behavior that is in fact already specified authoritatively elsewhere. ** Section 7. Ad-hoc secure data transfer can be established between two communication parties without any prior knowledge of the communication partner. Ad-hoc secure data transfer can be vulnerable to Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks. Authenticated secure data transfer provides protection against Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks. In the initial bonding step, the two communicating parties store a shared secret along with a Bonding Identifier. For all subsequent interactions, the communicating parties re-use the shared secret and compute only the unique encryption key for that session. Secure data transfer is based on the cryptographic algorithms defined in the NFC Authentication Protocol (NAP). -- This entire text is cut-and-paste from Section 3.2.5 of NFC Forum LLC.
