Peeling Away Layers of an RFID Security System

چکیده
The Legic Prime system uses proprietary RFIDs to secure building access and micropayment applications. The employed algorithms rely on obscurity and consequently did not withstand scrutiny. This paper details how the algorithms were found from opening silicon chips as well as interacting with tags and readers. The security of the tags is based on several secret check-sums but no secret keys are employed that could lead to inherent security on the cards. Cards can be read, written to and spoofed using an emulator. Beyond these card weaknesses, we find that Legic’s trust delegation model can be abused to create master tokens for all Legic installations.

متن کاملRSPAE: RFID Search Protocol based on Authenticated Encryption
Search protocols are among the main applications of RFID systems. Since a search protocol should be able to locate a certain tag among many tags, not only it should be secure against RFID threats but also it should be affordable. In this article, an RFID-based search protocol will be presented. We use an encryption technique that is referred to as authenticated encryption in order to boost the ...
