It is a common saying in the security industry that the “S” in RFID stands
for “Secure”. An RFID Tag/Card dumps all the information it contains when brought
close to the RFID Reader. The RFID Card is therefore considered unsuitable for storing
sensitive data. Our project aims to find a way of adding a layer of security to the RFID
Card using biometric authentication, which would widen the scope for the use of RFID
technology in areas where they couldn't have been used before, such as contactless
payments.
