Abstract: Mobile phones with NFC (near field communication) function are being popularized in recent years, and the HCE (host-based card emulation) mode greatly facilitates the development and the use of NFC applications. There are also more and more related applications using NFC function. In the HCE mode, because of the lack of local SE modules, the security of data and the reliability of identity authentication are deeply questioned. This paper proposes an identity authentication method in the HCE mode based on the zero-knowledge proof theory, which reduces the possibility of eavesdropping, duplication and cracking in the process of information transmission. By hiding the identity documents retained locally, the security of the local data is handled better. In untrusted network environments and on local devices with less security, more reliable identity authentication is achieved.
