General Description:

Understanding the issues of security and privacy of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology.

3 main objectives:

  • As the end user of these technologies, to be able to understand intrinsic weaknesses and operational attacks in order to apply corrective protection measures.
  • As a potential integrator of this technology, to be able to understand criteria of choice amongst existing technologies and to anticipate the security patches
  • As a future security engineer to be able to put oneself in the position of defenders (micro-electronic engineers, etc.) and to understand the implementation constraints (electric consumption, etc.) they face and to draw lessons for their future career.

Prerequisite: Symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. Basics of analogue and digital circuits.
