NAME

       nfc-anticol - Demonstration of NFC anti-collision command line tool based on libnfc

SYNOPSIS

       nfc-anticol

DESCRIPTION

       nfc-anticol  is  an  anti-collision  demonstration  tool  for  ISO/IEC  14443-A tags, performed by custom
       constructed frames. The first frame must be a short frame which is only 7  bits  long.  Commercial  SDK's
       often don't support a feature to send frames that are not a multiple of 8 bits (1 byte) long.  This makes
       it impossible to do the anti-collision yourself.   The  developer  has  to  rely  on  closed  proprietary
       software and should hope it does not contain vulnerabilities during the anti-collision phase.  Performing
       the anti-collision using custom frames could protect against a malicious tag that, for example,  violates
       the  standard  by  sending frames with unsupported lengths.  Note that this is only a demonstration tool,
       which can not handle multiple tags as real life anti-collisions with multiple tags generate "messy"  bits
       which are neither 0 nor 1.
