Abstract

This paper analyzes the possibility of an attack on an ultrahigh frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) access system and presents some practical results for the systems that are in the ISO 18000-6 standard: we analyze the security breach of an RFID based system, namely the attacks concentrated on the access barriers that have already been installed within an institution. The testing was conducted in normal conditions where no interference was present, then a jammer was introduced transmitting with different transmission power values. It will be identified the situation where the system becomes completely unfunctional, the communication between the RFID reader and the tag is interrupted, the reading of the access code being impossible to perform. This underscores once again the physical radio frequency vulnerability of RFID communication systems, in this case UHF RFID systems.
