This project aims to find the most suitable RFID technology for your use case, or alternatives, in addition to explain why your current solution may not be appropriate.
Moreover, a documentation is also available.

$ docker-compose up --buildRFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology designate, as the name suggest, a protocol that permits to identify someone or something.
We use RFID technologies very often in our daily life, without us realizing it.
- Building or corporate pass
- Contactless payment
- Public transports
- ...
RFID is actually on many frequency bands.
| Band | Regulations | Range | Cas d’utilisation |
|---|---|---|---|
| LF: 120–150 kHz | Unregulated | 10 cm | Animal identification, and some identification cards |
| HF: 13.56 MHz | ISM band worldwide | 0.1 – 1 m | Most frequently used. Include Smartcards and NFC |
| UHF: 433 MHz | Short range devices | 1 – 100 m | Military area |
| UHF: 865–868 MHz (EU) 902–928 MHz (NA) | ISM band | 1 – 12 m | Used by railroads |
| UHF-SHF: 2450–5800 MHz | ISM band | 1 – 2 m | 802.11 WLAN, Bluetooth standards |
NFC is rooted in RFID, and Contactless Smartcard in NFC.

NFC is designed to be more secure. In addition to provide identification :
- Data storage (up to 4kib) RFID data is on a few bytes
- Request treatments
NFC is made safer by its scheme, supporting anticollisions, and various features by manufacturers (although it's not very "secure").
Contactless Smartcard, in addition to the features above, provides authentication integrating a firmware on its chip ; That is, not only saying who you are, but prove that you really are you.
