Reverse engineering the communications protocol of an RFID public transportation card |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) security has not been properly handled in numerous applications, such as in public transportation systems. In this paper, a methodology to reverse engineer and detect security flaws is put into practice. Specifically, the communications protocol of an ISO/IEC 14443-B public transportation card used by hundreds of thousands of people in Spain was analyzed. By applying the methodology with a hardware tool (Proxmark 3), it was possible to access private information (e.g. trips performed, buses taken, fares applied...), to capture tag-reader communications, and even emulate both tags and readers. |
