Authentication enhancement of RFID card using an electronically clippable shield and fingerprint-biometrics

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that employs basic identifier of an object embedded in a chip, transmitted via radio wave, for identification. An RFID Card, responds to query irrespective of ‘Who’ holds the card; like a key to a door. Since an attacker can possess the card, acc...
