Usage of Radio Frequency Identi¯cation is winning ground everywhere.
Advantages of contactless communication compared to chips with contact
are transaction speed, durability and ease to use. A major disadvantage
is that messages can be intercepted from a distance by a malicious user.
Eavesdropping of unsecured transmissions can be a serious security risc.
This research describes a way to intercept this information. Furthermore,
it shows the vulnerabilities in di®erent major RFID systems and demon-
strates how to exploit them.
