PS1 president Derek Bever and other members are collaborating on this GitHub repo:

Client-side RFID authentication (and general access control)

This system is built on a BeagleBone Black and Sparkfun’s USB board for RFID readers for hardware, and PS1Auth’s server-side RFID authentication on the backend.

Client-side software is written in Go.
