Hardware RFID readers (fixed like Impinj Speedway R700/R420 series or Zebra FX9600/FX7500, handhelds like Honeywell IH45/RFD series, or modules from Hopeland/Cykeo) do not function in isolation. Raw backscatter data (EPC, RN16, RSSI, phase, Doppler) requires software layers for configuration...
UHF RFID (860–960 MHz, primarily passive tags compliant with EPCglobal Gen2 / EPC C1G2 or ISO/IEC 18000-63 Type C) operates in a shared wireless channel where multiple tags harvest energy from the reader's continuous wave (CW) carrier and backscatter modulated responses. When two or more tags...
This is an exhaustive, step-by-step troubleshooting resource compiled from professional RFID deployment guides, manufacturer documentation (Zebra, Impinj, Siemens, and others), and real-world engineering analyses. It covers every common failure mode in detail — far beyond basic checklists —...
Active jamming cards are innovative RFID/NFC protection devices that go beyond traditional passive blocking (e.g., Faraday sleeves) by actively emitting counter-signals to disrupt unauthorized readers. Unlike passive shields that merely absorb or reflect 13.56 MHz frequencies, active jammers...
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) skimming, a form of electronic pickpocketing, involves unauthorized readers capturing data from RFID-enabled cards, passports, or devices at short ranges (typically 4–10 cm). While not as prevalent as other fraud types in 2025 — with no comprehensive...
Несмотря на демонстрации, показывающие, что это возможно, задокументированные случаи мошенничества с кредитными картами RFID неизвестны. И как знают специалисты по безопасности, существует огромная пропасть между потенциальным преступлением и реальным преступлением.

At the Defcon conference, a group of researchers demonstrated successful cloning of data from RFID tags used in HID Global key cards. Such devices are used to protect homes and offices around the world.
At the same time, data reading is possible in remote mode, at a distance of about 30 cm...
A chip module is implanted into any RFID identifier, with the help of which contactless reading is carried out. One of the most popular are Mifare chips, which are produced by the Dutch company NXP. They are called original chips, since they are produced according to all the necessary quality...
No matter how personalized a smart card with a chip is, its main purpose is contactless identification. Therefore, it is very important that the RFID module (chip) functions correctly and stably. In fact, if the chip module in a smart card fails, it will no longer be a contactless electronic...
The abbreviation RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, which translates as radio frequency identification. The technology is based on the use of radio waves that connect chips and a reading device. RFID is versatile, as it can be used in various areas: as a key in hotel complexes, as a...
Application of RFID technologies
RFID or radio frequency identification technology is a positioning system for identifying people or objects. Identification is performed via radio signals. The use of rfid technologies is common in logistics, trade, medicine, agriculture, to ensure access and...
RFID tags - what is it
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tags are unique electronic devices capable of transmitting information using radio frequencies.
The principle of operation of RFID tags is based on the use of radio frequency signals for contactless reading and recording of...
Quite recently, a fundamentally improved version of the theft of funds was discovered - a new method of stealing money from cards equipped with PayWave and PayPass technologies - criminals intercept signals from such bank cards “over the air” using homemade readers.
Plastic cards with...
Извини, приятель, ты хочешь iOS? Мы не можем вам помочь.
Киберпреступники разработали приложение для Android, которое позволяет взламывать платежные карты RFID, как обнаружили исследователи после взлома транспортной системы Чили.
Приложение, ставшее центром мошенничества, взломало автобусную...
EM Marine card emulator
Surely each of us who has ever been to a regular office was wondering how these contactless passes work. In this article we will understand the principle of operation of contactless cards and make an emulator from literally three radio components.

Today I will tell you about the RC522 RFID module, based on the MFRC522 chip. Power supply 3.3 V, detection range up to 6cm. Designed for reading and writing RFID tags with a frequency of 13.56 MHz. The frequency in this case is very important, since RFID tags exist in three frequency ranges...
The lesson from the series "All about RFID".
Today we will continue to study the RFID reader based on the RC522 chip.
In the first part there was a theory, in the second we made an electronic rfid lock with access by card or keychain. Now it's your turn to consider writing to the card.
Let's...
The Chinese government has said that from 2019, all new cars in the country must be equipped with RFID chips. Writes about this The Verge with reference to The Wall Street Journal.
The relevant program is being prepared by the Ministry of Public Security of China and the Traffic Control...
