Abstract
n this paper, we present a practical relay attack that can be mounted on RFID systems found in many applications nowadays. The described attack uses a self-designed proxy device to forward the RF communication from a reader to a modern NFC-enabled smart phone (Google Nexus S). The phone acts as a mole to inquire a victim’s card in the vicinity of the system. As a practical demon-
stration of our attack, we target a widely used access control application that usually grants access to office
buildings using a strong AES authentication feature. Our attack successfully relays this authentication process via a Bluetooth channel (> 50 meters) within several hundred milliseconds. As a result, we were able to impersonate an
authorized user and to enter the building without being
detected.
