Cybersecurity: Ungatekeeping RFID - Demystifying the tech
RFID is everywhere—yet few understand it. From toy tags to access cards and even passports, RFID is part of our daily lives. Unfortunately, that also makes it a popular target for attackers who know how to exploit its weaknesses. In this talk, Erich Jackson will lift the veil on RFID by showing how the technology works, how hackers clone and spoof RFID signals, and—most importantly—what security professionals can do to protect against these threats.
