This workshop will show you how to read your digital identification documents you're carrying with you. Think of your bankcard, credit card, Belgian Electronic ID card, SIS, Proton, hotel room keycard, RFID passport, RFID access badge,SIM card, train ticket... You'll learn the basic principles of magnetic stripe cards, smartcards and RFID tags. Bring your laptop with a Windows XP install (virtualized is OK too, provided USB is supported) and a smart card reader if you have one. Didier will provide you with several Python and C programs to read your IDs on your machine (you don't want somebody else to read your credit card on their machine, right?). The workshop will also show you how to program a simple smart card for your own digital ID applications.
