Information security of RFID and NFC technologies

Abstract

Abstract The subject of this work is the information security of radio frequency identification technologies and near field communication (RFID, NFC). The work describes and classifies some currently known vulnerabilities of the corresponding protocols and devices that implement them, and considers cryptanalysis tools and software. The result of the work is an assessment of the risk of using certain specific NFC devices, for example, contactless bank cards. The author’s view on the development prospects of the technology as a whole is also presented.
