description: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is often used to identify individuals for the purpose of access control to rooms using RFID tag keyless locks. The most popular implementation of the technology is found in passive tags, including those often found in school and company IDs. These tags do not contain their own power source, have a minimal amount of computational power, and only contain a static identification number. Due to these limitations, these tags are known to have severe inherent security vulnerabilities, including the tag’s inability to verify the reader, which leaves the tag vulnerable by being scanned by an unauthorized source, and the duplication of tags that grant identical access as the original tag. This project proposes a solution using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology that is prevalent in current smartphones to provide active communication between locks and tags to increase the security in the access control system. The technology's prevalence in current-generation smartphones means organizations mostly would not have to worry about their increased cost over passive RFID tags, and the significantly higher computational power and memory of these devices over those tags allows them to identify tag readers and perform cryptographic functions that would both make eavesdropping and tag cloning near impossible.
