The company I work in switched to a new building, and we have those stupid doors with RFID cards on them. I’d be damned if I’m going walk with that I’m-working-in-hightech-company-card dangling of my belt. I wonder if there is a way for me to use my phone for credentials. I tried searching for it, and all I could find is ways for me to use the phone in order to copy the info from one card to another.
So is it somehow possible?
I’ll reply here also to @ratumoko@kbin.social - the building security is a joke. The company rents some offices in these share-space buildings. And there is no real security beyond that (OK, fine, also some cameras). I suspect that they use this system just to keep costumers happy, feeling like there is some security system in place. I’ll try the RFID ring and see if it works.
But my “real” question here is how come I didn’t find any app/instruction for making my phone itself an RFID keycard. As I type this I realize that this might be due to needing a specific frequency that the phone cannot produce(?)
That’s the technology they use: https://nfc-tools.github.io/resources/standards/iso14443A/
My company sells systems like this. It depends on the system manufacturer and reader type. Bluetooth/mobile credentials might be available. I’ve never seen a system use a phone as RFID, but they do operate on the same frequency
