Question

Tecty Motors Pvt. Ltd. has recently deployed RFID technology in the vehicles which allows the car owner to unlock the car with the exchange of a valid RFID signal between a reader and a tag. Jamie, on the other hand, is a hacker who decided to exploit this technology with the aim of stealing the target vehicle. To perform this attack on the target vehicle, he first used an automated tool to intercept the signals between the reader and the tag to capture a valid RFID signal and then later used the same signal to unlock and steal the victim’s car.Which of the following RFID attacks Jamie has performed in the above scenario?A . RFID cloningB . Replay attackC . DoS attackD . Power analysis attack

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to  secure objects, pair devices, tag them etc. and it is made up of a transmitter which emits radio waves and a receiver.

The example given in the question where Jamie listens to the communication between the RFID tag and the devide of the user and copies the information to later use it to gain access to the vehicle is an example of a replay attack.

Also called "eavesdropping & replay", the first part is the listening to the conversation to steal the data and the replay part is where he uses the information to gain access.

I hope this answer helps.
