Welcome to the RFID Guardian Project!

From RFID Wiki

The RFID Guardian Project is a collaborative project focused upon providing security and privacy in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. The goals of our project are to: 

   * Investigate the security and privacy threats faced by RFID systems
   * Design and implement real solutions against these threats
   * Investigate the associated technological and legal issues

The namesake of our project is the RFID Guardian: a mobile battery-powered device that offers personal RFID security and privacy management. One the focuses of our project is to build an RFID Guardian prototype.

Our group also performed the first-ever research on RFID Malware.
