This project was built at HackWestern2 (hackwestern.com), where everyone gets 5 hours of sleep :D
This project was awarded the Best End to End Implementation Prize in HackWestern 2
AuthFID is a hardware implementation of 2 factor authencation activated using a RFID card. It provides fast and secure access to your codes, and you only need to carry a RFID card that is registered in the system.
An overview of the unit
The unit shows the current 2-factor-authentication code when activated by a RFID card

When using 2 factor authentication, it is inconvenient to use a phone when the TOTP code is needed. This device is secured by RFID, and provides fast code access at your desk.
We used the Raspberry Pi for majority of this project, so everything is linux based. Further implementation information can be found below under 'Technology Used'.
The code generation algorithm is using standard TOTP algorithm.
