RFID Security

Protect the Supply Chain

RFID Security reveals the motives of RFID hackers and then explains how to protect systems. Coverage includes how to prevent attackers from exploiting security breaches for monetary gain (hacking a store’s RFID system would allow a hacker to lower the pricing on any product); how to protect the supply chain (malicious/mischievous hackers can delete/alter/modify all identifying information for an entire shipment of products); and how to protect personal privacy (privacy advocates fear that RFID tags embedded in products, which continue to transmit information after leaving a store, will be used to track consumer habits).

• Understand RFID Standards
  Learn the various country, application, and vendor frequencies and classes of tags.
• Manipulate Tag Data
  See how someone looking to steal multiple items could change the data on the tags attached to those items.
• Implement Security Measures
  Understand the types of RFID attacks to see how someone might try to steal a single object or even try to prevent sales at a single store or chain of stores.
• Review Tag Encoding and Tag Application Attacks
  Review man-in-the-middle attacks, as well as chip clones, tracking, and disruption attacks to RFID systems.
• Prevent Unauthorized Access
  Ensure secure communications by deploying RFID middleware.
• Prevent Backend Communication Attacks
  Prevent man-in-the-middle and TCP replay attacks on the backend.
• Assess the Risk and Vulnerability of Implementing RFID
  Learn the questions to ask to determine the risks to your company.
