Short description: Gadget that is a replacement for a traditional paper-based badge or pass issued at public events
Several electronic badges from conferences such as CCCamp and SHA2017

An electronic badge (or electronic conference badge) is a gadget that is a replacement for a traditional paper-based badge or pass issued at public events.[1] It is mainly handed out at computer (security) conferences and hacker events.[2] Their main feature is to display the name of the attendee, but due to their electronic nature they can include a variety of software. The badges were originally a tradition at DEF CON, but spread across different events.[3]

Examples

Hardware

  • SHA2017 badge, which included an e-ink screen and an ESP32[4]
  • Card10 for CCCamp2019[5][6]
  • Electromagnetic Field Camp badge[7][8]

Software

The organization badge.team has developed a platform called "Hatchery"[9] to publish and develop software for several badges.[10]
