RFID’s guilty secret
Great introductory piece to RFID.
In your average hotel key card is a chip that contains nothing more than a tiny little radio wave processor and a small amount of data storage – around 1KB. Nothing else. Not even a battery. But when it comes into contact with a reader (on your hotel room door), the chip pulls just the amount of power it needs to spring to life, telling the door to unlock. This is basic Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) and it’s been around for a long time. And although it’s certainly evolved - some cards are more secure than others - RFID fundamentally remains unchanged since it first came into use in 1983.
