Collaborate Disseminate
I’ve come across several papers introducing the concept of mutual distance-bounding, where basically both sides can verify an upper bound of the distance in between, rather than having this unilateral relationship between a verifier and a … Continue reading How is the timer implemented in mutual distance-bounding protocols?
I need to do DYNAMIC analysis of my app on a physical Android device rather than Genymotion emulator because I need to test NFC. How can this be done with mobSF or equivalent tool?

The title is pretty self explanatory. The market is pretty secretive about these kinds of matter since companies won’t give out vulnerabilities for attackers to abuse and will give out vulnerabilities that are solved and attackers would th… Continue reading Are there any contactless (RFID/NFC) card vulnerabilities that are still unsolved? even minor ones
I came across this question Offline brute-forcing of a bank card PIN, which was asked 7 years ago. I’m currently exploring vulnerabilities in EMV protocol, and I wanted to double check if an idea I had in mind is viable.
I came across a pa… Continue reading Guessing PIN code of smartcard using brute force and offline reader
When it comes to tracking an athlete’s performance, a single wearable sensor doesn’t always provide much information, yet multiple hard-wired sensors restrict movement. That’s a where a new sensor suit comes in – and it’s powered by a smartphone.Contin… Continue reading Smartphone-powered athletic “smart suit” needs no batteries
Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys check in on the best hacks from the past week. All the buzz is the algorithm that can reverse engineer your house keys from the way they sound going into the lock. Cardboard construction goes extreme with an RC car build that’s beyond …read more
Near-field Communication (NFC) has been around a while and is used for example in access control, small data exchange, and of course in mobile payment systems. With such sensitive application areas, security is naturally a crucial element of the protocol, and therefore any lower-level access is usually heavily restricted and …read more

We are evaluating how to improve security on our RFID System. Our system was reviewed by someone finding the point that there are duplicate Tags we must get rid of.
So the first idea was to read the UID to ensure that the used tag is not a… Continue reading RFID // Understanding security of Standard-UID
We are continuously inspired by our readers which is why we share what we love, and that inspiration flows both ways. [jetpilot305] connected a Rothult unit to the Arduino IDE in response to Ripping up a Rothult. Consider us flattered. There are several factors at play here. One, the …read more
So I have a small electronics project where I am using common Mifare Classic 1K NFC tags as a means of authentication. (Mifare DesiFire is just too expensive)
I know these aren’t very secure so here are my ideas on improving on it.
Make C… Continue reading Hardening NFC tags for authentication
