[Q] Use Gnex as ID card - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I want to know if its possible to read my contactless work ID card with my phone and then use the phone as my ID by tapping it to the reader.
I don't know if this is even possible and my question isnt about the Nexus as much as it is about My ID card, but if anyone can help me figure out what kind of ID card I have and how that would or wouldnt work with the hardware in the Nexus, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

There is some sort of chip in your ID or is just a bar code you're trying to scan?

Some sort of chip. I tap the card to the reader in the elevator and at the front door to the office.
I don't even need to tap the card directly, I keep the card in my wallet and tap my wallet to the reader and it picks it up fine.
Let me know if I can provide any more info.
Thanks

I can't think of anyway to extract the information from the chip, but you could always cut the chip out and tape it inside the battery door. I wouldn't think anything would interfere with the chip, but I guess would might need to have an undamaged ID card.

Yeah, that wouldn't work, it doubles as a picture ID as well so I would need to keep it undamaged.
I've seen apps that read and store data when tapped with a credit card, so I was hoping someone would be able to provide similar info for how to do it with an ID card. I don't know enough about the different NFC and RFID technologies and what the nexus is capable of. Was hoping someone on here might be able to help.

Check out this thread from a few months ago. People came to the conclusion that it isn't possible.

From what I understand, data that's on most RFID cards is encrypted and the NFC antenna on the Galaxy Nexus (and Nexus S) is not currently capable of interpreting the data. It certainly seems that the possibility is there though seeing as how they usually operate on the 13.56 MHz frequency.

I posted this on another thread, but I think it is worth it here also. HID is beta testing using NFC technology for card access with Blackberry devices. Youtube HID Global Pilot Arizona State. NFC uses 13.56Mhz frequency. The HID iClass readers should work ONCE HID gives the customer the ability to get the software used to tether the phone to your computer and connect to the "secure" part of the Android OS and create a credential. It is coming. Just waiting on HID Global to make it happen.

So would this nfc really work?

In theory, sure. It's along the same lines as SDHC cards that give Wi-Fi ability. The real issue is whether or not it's worth it to forgo the extra storage space of a memory card in favor of a NFC capability.
The concept of NFC is really cool, but isn't there yet in terms of practicality. I only use 1 credit card so, for me, having to use my phone to do transactions will more than likely take more time than just using my credit card. There are security benefits to NFC as thieves won't be able to steal information from the magnetic strip.

I actually am worried this would make things less secure than currently using your credit card.
Here is what I found on there site
Will I lose data on my original microSD?
No. The great thing about moneto is the fact that the microSD doubles as a storage source on non-iPhone smartphones. If you have any data or media, such as application folders, music, videos, or pictures on your microSD that you’d like to keep you can easily transfer that content to the moneto microSD.
* * Transferring data from my microSD to my moneto microSD
Load your microSD onto your computer. You can do this by using a microSD to USB converter, a microSD to SD card converter with an onboard SD slot, or by leaving your microSD in your phone and connecting your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Copy all desired files from your microSD card to the new folder. Simply drag and drop the files or folders you wish to transfer
Right click your microSD card and select “Eject” to safely remove it
Insert the second microSD card as you did in step 1
Copy the files you moved in step two and paste them in the moneto microSD, eject the drive to safely remove the card. Removing the microSD without ejecting on your computer or unmounting on your phone can damage any data stored on the card.

My thoughts on it being less secure would be if someone has a receiver for NFC, they could access your chip. There was a news story here in Denver, I don't remember the station, where they went yo the airport with said receiver and started pulling up information from people with the NFC credit cards. I have no idea if that would be an issue on phones, as I have not done any research on it, so it may not be an issue...

You have to actually load an app and do an authorization in order to make a payment with a wallet through NFC.

I am trying to think about the hacking possibilities. Also when you think about credit card theft, cell phone theft is also pretty high. For example, if you have an NFC sd card, and your phone gets stolen, how easy would it be to hack in and get the pin and have access to everything?
I haven't learned enough about it though, I could possibly be mistaken/misunderstanding/paranoid.
How would you get the Google wallet app on your phone if u get this? I love Google wallet and use it all the time withmy nexus.

That's more likely with RFID chips (the kind new passports have), not NFC. NFC has a very short range (literally, a few cm's) and as another person mentioned, you need to initiate a transaction for it to even show up. The only way they'd be able to do that would be to try and hijack the payment terminal itself since the range is so short. And even then, I'd imagine someone would notice if the card didn't seem like it was going through, but the customer was showing that they paid or it looked like two charges were trying to be made.
Security wise, NFC shows a lot more promise than RFID. It's really going to come down to how fast it expands (currently only uses MasterCard PayPass system and not all stores have those) and whether or not it's more convenient to use compared to traditional payment methods.

OV-Chipkaart

Hello people,
So I recently was playing around with some NFC apps, and I found out my OV-Chipkaart (Dutch public transit card) was read by my phone. Unfortunately I got a lot of numbers and stuff I didn't understand. Does anybody know more about this?
The card is encrypted. If you get the key (there are a couple of articles on the internet which tell you how to get it), you should be able to read the entire card. Without the key you can only see the expiration date.
I saw it was possible to add your own MIFARE key in the TagInfo app. The only thing you need to get this key is an RFID-reader for your PC and some processing power (and the appropriate software).
cool
Thats so cool
My acces card for school does the same. Found this out because everytime i put my phone kn my wallet it made a sound.

UID
Each contactless chip (incuding the Mifare you have) has a unique id which is accessible to any contactless reader, in this case you phone. Unique id enables the reader to overcome collision for reading one chip at a time. This is is probably used as the id of your card by the system it is being used.

http://www.ov-chipkaart.me/forum/vi...sid=601115f083127a3a86069b25feebdb43&start=30
i tested it on my personal ov chipkaart but it didn' t work because i haven' t made a dump off the card. i haven' t got a reader for it so maybe if a xda that lives in Rotterdam/Cappele a/d Ijssel is kind enough to make a dump for me
I also recently checked my bus-card and the phone could read some of the info in the card, so i was wondering if it is possible to clone the info in the card to some other nfc tag, which would be cool, and also if i use the phone as rifid reader, mentioned above, connected to pc with usb then theoretically it would be possible to reprogram the card...?
And also another question, is it possible for the phone to send out same info which is on the card so i could use phone instead of bus-card at the bus?
EDIT: I read previous topics and realized that this is impossible.
The ov-chipkaart part is now available and working in the source of github/wandcode/farebot. I have tried and confirmed that this is working. You will need to crack the MiFare classic keys first, this is only possible on a ov-chipkaart by NXP-semiconductors (so not the Infineon version)
I don't have a RFID card reader... Is it possible to dump the chipkaart keys with the Samsung Nexus and then crack the keys with the PC?

No that's where the power of chip-cards come in play. There are no keys on it who a external device will receive and decipher. A Mifare Classic card has a built-in authentication system which you will have to pass to read/write onto the card.
The only possible way i could think of is to take the known key from the card, generate a dictionary on a computer and then bruteforce with a phone. But i think that would be more time/hassle then buying a 20 dollar NFC reader.

Isnt it kinda obvious that you have a huge sticker on your OV. Like Checkers can just take of the sticker and they can see its fake.

No Mifare classic stickers can be very small, and then again you can also attach it to the card holder it's in and when you get asked to take it out you just have bad luck. Though i am more interested in the Tech and Security rather then abusing it.

The sourcecode of Farebot is avalible on github if you didn't already find it.
Since it can already read the data it must not be hard to be able to write it back to a new tag..

Nfc key fob

Is it possible to use my phone as a key fob for my apartment complex? Or say my workplace?
I saw the big confirmed NFC list elsewhere, but was curious of anyone has tried or knows about this.
Thanks
Sent on the run. Band on the run.
This has been talked about before, no you cant, its not using the same technology. The easiest way to check this is to get the NFC reader for your phone and try to read whatever your trying to use, like a security card for the building, it will not read it and this will tell you its not the same. I had the same idea as at work I have a Prox II card to get in and around the building, tried to read it and it would not work, I checked the web and sure enough its not the same frequency or something along those lines. At this time its only good for paying at places that have the ability and messing with your own tags.
Where is the actual NFC device? Is it in the Battery?
Im curious if it's upgradable (aftermarket, of course) to add on more frequencies

For the S3 it is in the battery as you say. So an aftermarket battery will likely not have the NFC functionality in there that you would like.

NFC Implant GT-I9505

Hey everyone, So I want to get an NFC chip implanted into my hand, don't ask why, ill think of a reason later.
For now I just want somebody more knowledgeable than I to tell me if this tag I am looking at [xM1 [Mifare S50 2x12mm Glass Tag]] Would be compatible with the broadcom NFC chip in my Galaxy S4 I9505?
It says on the page, " 13.56MHz ISO/IEC 14443-A Mifare S50 1K RFID chipset "
I believe there is a rule I cannot post links to pages with products for sale ?
Its from a site called dangerous things, as that's the first I found selling implantable chips..
Share with me your information please And thank you in advance!
And while im at it, Im trying to think of some cool uses for it, Is it possible to write to it something that lets me use it to pay for things ?
I have heard of people that do this..
As far as i know the broadcom nfc chip does not support the mifare protocol. You may be able to write NDEF data to it but i don't think you will be able to use the original mifare protocol.
Also i suggest you look into chips who can run you custom code like javacard

So, first off, ignore the "implications" guy. I cant tell you how many times ive heard its the mark of the beast, or that its a tracking device, or that its a dna harvester, etc etc. Cant beat crazy.
Anyways, I am an app developer, look up my name on the market. I LOVE NFC, most of my newer apps use NFC in some way. I have an app called NFCSecure that locks your device unless you have the nfc tag you setup as a key. thats a pretty big one.
Also tag a hue. turns tags into light switches for hue lights. i can lay in bed, scan my tag and if my light is off, it goes on and vice versa.
My ltest app is nfcvault. uses the tag as an encryption key for passwords, pins, etc.

Beamed from my Maguro.
most of the time, you don't hafta rewrite them to be useful...depending on what you use them for.
if you want to use them to share specific info, you might be out of luck.
If you want to use them to initiate things (like with tasker), you can simply have it trigger when it reads those specific cards, no writing required!

most of the time, you don't hafta rewrite them to be useful...depending on what you use them for.
if you want to use them to share specific info, you might be out of luck.

yeah, thats what happens but it still isn't what i want as i want to program the card on one device and be able to use it on another device as well... instead of having every device memorize the tag id... i want them to recognize the code...
unfortunately, I don't think you can unlock tags once they have been locked.
I don't think there is a way either

I want to russia for a two week vacation last month... and i discovered something ultra cool about their train cards...
So now i have this huge pack of russian metro passes and they all have nfc chips in them...
unfortunately, these passes are all write protected...
is there any way to completely wipe these cards and get write permissions....

god damnit s4 stop accepting only nfc forum tags >>
This makes me wonder why more company's don't implement this into things. Would'nt it be awsome to scan your phone to get in a building or on a bus, or an ID/Drivers Lisnce that can just be scanned to ID you in a traffic stop or to get in a bar or whatever?
