Miana Ella Windall: RFID Implants — When Your Middle Finger Opens Doors
A DEF CON 31 talk about building implantable RFID chips. The speaker explains how she developed a custom implant for workplace access control when no existing solution fit her needs.
The talk covers RFID basics, how transponders work, and the full development process — from reverse engineering an access card and designing the antenna to creating a PCB and a biocompatible implant casing.
It also explores practical aspects of biohacking implants, including installation, benefits, limitations, and future possibilities such as payment chips and sensors.
