Abstract

We study the Mifare Ultralight cards in detail, and we present a new secure method for the recharge of these RFID disposable tickets that also extends to the case of multiple resources on a single device. We specify a formal but yet realistic semantics of these cards, and we also define a simple imperative language suitable to program secure APIs. In fact, the language is provided with a type-system enforcing security properties on resources stored in the card.

Work partially supported by the RAS Project “TESLA: Techniques for Enforcing Security in Languages and Applications”.
