Synopsis

In the last fifteen years or so, RFID and Contactless Smart Card technologies have been increasingly adopted in a number of industries such as Logistics, Retail, Facility Management, Law Enforcement and Transport. Reports of cyber security vulnerabilities and attacks on RFID and Contactless Smart Card systems; coupled with the fear of invasion in people privacy, have brought to the fore the issue of Information Security in these technologies. This book is an analysis of a number of existing RFID/Contactless Smart Card Applications and their vulnerabilities. For the first time, this book has analysed these Applications with a very intelligent concept of Use Cases; developed a Threat Model and defined corresponding Security Requirements for each of the RFID/Contactless Smart Card Applications. In addition, this book has proposed a comprehensive Information Security Model based on the paradigm of “defence-in-depth" for any RFID/Contactless Smart Card system. This analysis should be very useful to all Information Security professionals, Vendors, Integrators or anyone else who may be interested in these two exciting technologies.
