Abstract

The technology used at the end of ‘40s has advanced, but the security of the RFID has not improved much since. There are still many vulnerabilities that enable accessing information from different types of tags or cards and this thesis addresses those available on the market. RFID systems – tags, sensors, readers, middleware and applications are trying to solve specific business needs. This technology is used in almost everything - from books, clothing and parts of aircraft to medicine and many other environments. The general lack of understanding and awareness leads to confusion about what it is, its capabilities and limitations. This document makes its contribution to the access control, which are badges that are used to access office buildings. Many people expose their identity badges, but forgetting about hackers that might want to steal their identity. This thesis presents different card types and shows their classifications - the problem of exposing badges concerns academic, private, and public life. There are tools on the market that enable to clone them. This research shows how easy it is to clone the latest version of the badges used by companies and colleges in 2020.
