Welcome to the RFID Guardian Project!
From RFID Guardian
The RFID Guardian Project is a 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. The main focus of our project is to create an industry standard, open source, RFID security product based on our current RFID Guardian.
Our group also performed the first-ever research on RFID Malware.
