Smartcards are portable devices that can communicate wirelessly and contain microchips capable of transferring, processing or storing data. They serve practical and reliable solutions for everyday problems such as identification, access control, and payment. Therefore, security of these systems is cardinally important. Smartcard systems serve a critical role in the Middle East Technical University by enabling access control to restricted areas, on-campus payments and managing identification for student and personnel. Given the importance of data and the usage of the system’s role in daily operations, in the scope of this project at hand, we are conducting a security assessment of the current smartcard system at Middle East Technical University. In this assessment, we aim to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential threats with their consequences by applying passive attack techniques on smartcards.
