Get hands-on with the science behind ID cards, where you will have the opportunity to try out equipment used by security professionals!

Try your hand at hacking some of the UK's most commonly-used ID cards, where the Southampton University Cyber Security Society team show you how these cards are used, and what makes them vulnerable - with a chance for you to hack your way through a locked door.
