1. An electronic device, comprising:
a near-field communication (NFC) communication circuit;
an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication circuit connected with the NFC communication circuit;
at least one secure element operatively connected with the NFC communication circuit and configured to store security information; and
a processor disposed in the NFC communication circuit and operatively connected with the UWB communication circuit,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a data request from an external electronic device via the UWB communication circuit, wherein the data request includes a payload information element (IE) and a data payload,
identify a first secure element among the at least one secure element, based on a routing table matching the payload IE with the at least one secure element,
access at least part of the security information corresponding to the data payload stored in the first secure element, based on transmitting the data payload to the first secure element, and
transmit the at least part of the security information to the external electronic device via the UWB communication circuit, and
wherein the UWB communication circuit is configured to:
perform user authentication based on identifying whether the user authentication is required to transmit the received data request to the NFC communication circuit, and
transmit the received data request to the NFC communication circuit, based on the result of the user authentication.
