I recently built a custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline to move past the limitations of keyword matching. By processing a regulatory document, chunking the text strategically, and embedding it into ChromaDB, I wanted to test how semantic search handles complex, domain-specific text like Banking and Compliance. The results pointed to

Mifare DESFire keycards are some of the most difficult keycards to clone. As such, they are used in access control, transit, closed loop payments, and many other sectors. Acquiring keys for DESFire cards has been borderline impossible thanks to its robust physical and digital security architecture. However, in recent years,
