RFID Security and Privacy

La technologie RFID et les problèmes de sécurité afférents.

Abstract :
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) allows to identify and authenticate objects or subjects without any physical nor optical contact, using transponders - micro-circuits with an antenna - queried by readers through a radio frequency channel. This technology is one of the most promising of this decade and is already widely used in applications such as access cards, public transportation, payment cards, and passports. After an introduction to RFID, we will focus in this talk on the security and privacy research challenges related to this field. We will especially discuss about impersonation and authentication protocols, including (but not limited to) relay attacks and distance bounding protocols.
