What is RFID protection?

RFID , or Radio-Frequency Identification , technology, certainly present on your badge, is a method of storing and retrieving data remotely. It works using an electronic RFID chip which emits radio antenna signals allowing the identification and tracking of objects or people, not to be confused with NFC .

RFID is widely used in many areas, including credit cards, passports, ID cards, and even a store item tag. It allows rapid, contactless identification, making it very practical in many applications.

UHF RFIDs enable long-range reading and are often used in the supply chain to track products using their magnetic or electromagnetic barcodes. RFID wristbands are also commonly used as an RFID solution for inventory management and event security, each carrying a unique serial number.

Anti-RFID technology provides protection against unauthorized reading of data stored on electronic chips, badges or RFID tags. By blocking the radio frequency signals emitted by RFID readers, it prevents communication between the RFID chips and the card reader antennas. This passive protection is crucial to guarantee the confidentiality of information stored on RFID tags, such as identifiers or personal data from a badge for example. By creating an electromagnetic barrier, anti-RFID technology acts as an anti-theft device, preventing RFID tags from being read remotely. It thus ensures that RFID badges, such as Navigo , cannot be scanned without authorization. By neutralizing the radio frequency waves emitted by RFID readers, it preserves the security of smart cards and RFID badges, even at high reading distances in MHz or kHz. This RFID protection ensures that sensitive data stored on RFID chips remains confidential and is not compromised. By using magnetic materials and specific markers, anti-RFID technology creates an effective barrier against unauthorized reading of electronic chips, thus ensuring the security of personal and confidential information.

Fraudsters can use special devices to scan the information stored on the chips remotely and use it for fraudulent purposes. For example, they could withdraw money from contactless credit cards, thereby causing financial losses for victims.

In conclusion, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is used in a variety of applications such as badges , key fobs , chips , and credit cards for access control , traceability , and credit management. stocks. RFID chips can be passive or active, which have their energy source. Operating at different frequencies such as UHF , high frequency or low frequency. RFID readers allow reading and sometimes writing of data on RFID tags at different reading distances . RFID badge holders and cases provide protection against unauthorized reading of information contained in RFID cards, such as bank or ID cards, by blocking radio waves . The customization of RFID solutions makes it possible to meet various needs, with products adapted to different environments such as leather goods, such as genuine leather card holders, handbags, or RFID bracelets. RFID protection is essential to prevent cloning or theft of sensitive data, providing additional security for every RFID chip in our evolving digital world.
