“…For example, Wang et al in [196] proposed an authentication scheme to cope with RFID replay attack. Avanco et al in [197] proposed a lowpower jamming detection mechanism in RFID networks. The proposed mechanism detects malicious activities within the network by exploiting side information such as the received signal power in adjacent channels, the received preamble, and the tag's uplink transmission response.…”

Wireless networks are a key component of the telecommunications infrastructure in our society, and wireless services become increasingly important as the applications of wireless devices have penetrated every aspect of our lives. Although wireless technologies have significantly advanced in the past decades, most wireless networks are still vulnerable to radio jamming attacks due to the openness nature of wireless channels, and the progress in the design of jamming-resistant wireless networking systems remains limited. This stagnation can be attributed to the lack of practical physical-layer wireless technologies that can efficiently decode data packets in the presence of jamming attacks. This article surveys existing jamming attacks and anti-jamming strategies in wireless local area networks (WLANs), cellular networks, cognitive radio networks (CRNs), ZigBee networks, Bluetooth networks, vehicular networks, LoRa networks, RFID networks, and GPS system, with the objective of offering a comprehensive knowledge landscape of existing jamming/anti-jamming strategies and stimulating more research efforts to secure wireless networks against jamming attacks. Different from prior survey papers, this article conducts a comprehensive, in-depth review on jamming and anti-jamming strategies, casting insights on the design of jamming-resilient wireless networking systems. An outlook on promising antijamming techniques is offered at the end of this article to delineate important research directions.

“…ISO/IEC 14443 consists of four parts: (1) physical characteristics, (2) RF power and signal interface, (3) initialization and anti-collision, and (4) transmission protocol. It also defines two kinds of tags (type A and type B), which differ in parts (2) and (3). Table 1 shows the differences in terms of modulation and coding between both types [in such a table, the reader is called proximity coupling device (PCD), and the tag is the proximity integrated circuit card (PICC)].…”

“…Fortunately, secure mechanisms can be applied to prevent the attacks aforementioned, including the use of cryptography, the automatic detection of rogue devices [3], the enhancement of the resistance to cloning [4], the secure storage of critical data in remote databases or the use of secure physical modulations and medium access control (MAC) protocols. Nonetheless, it is common to find commercial RFID systems that have such security features disabled or detect already-broken RFID security systems still in use.…”

Although RFID has become a widespread technology, the developers of numerous commercial systems have not taken care of security properly. This chapter presents a methodology for detecting common security flaws. The methodology is put in practice using an open-source RFID platform (Proxmark 3), and it is tested in different fields, such as public transportation or animal identification. The results obtained show that the consistent application of the methodology allows researchers to perform security audits easily and detect, mitigate, or avoid risks and possible attacks.

“…Countermeasures can be taken to prevent attacks. The most common defenses include the use of cryptography [ 48 ], automatic malware detection [ 49 ], improving resistance to cloning [ 50 ], uncovering rogue devices [ 51 ], or the use of secure authentication schemes [ 52 ]. However, it is common to find commercial RFID systems that due to cost or speed have such security features disabled.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a distributed system of physical objects that requires the seamless integration of hardware (e.g., sensors, actuators, electronics) and network communications in order to collect and exchange data. IoT smart objects need to be somehow identified to determine the origin of the data and to automatically detect the elements around us. One of the best positioned technologies to perform identification is RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), which in the last years has gained a lot of popularity in applications like access control, payment cards or logistics. Despite its popularity, RFID security has not been properly handled in numerous applications. To foster security in such applications, this article includes three main contributions. First, in order to establish the basics, a detailed review of the most common flaws found in RFID-based IoT systems is provided, including the latest attacks described in the literature. Second, a novel methodology that eases the detection and mitigation of such flaws is presented. Third, the latest RFID security tools are analyzed and the methodology proposed is applied through one of them (Proxmark 3) to validate it. Thus, the methodology is tested in different scenarios where tags are commonly used for identification. In such systems it was possible to clone transponders, extract information, and even emulate both tags and readers. Therefore, it is shown that the methodology proposed is useful for auditing security and reverse engineering RFID communications in IoT applications. It must be noted that, although this paper is aimed at fostering RFID communications security in IoT applications, the methodology can be applied to any RFID communications protocol.
