Abstract: This work concerns inverse boundary value problems for the time-harmonic Maxwell's equations on differential $1-$forms. We formulate the boundary value problem on a $3-$dimensional compact and simply connected Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary $partialM$ endowed with a Riemannian metric $g$. Assuming that the electric permittivity $varepsilon$ and magnetic permeability $mu$ are real-valued anisotropic (i.e $(1,1)-$ tensors), we aim to determine certain metrics induced by these parameters, denoted by $hatvarepsilon$ and $hatmu$ at $partialM$. We show that the knowledge of the impedance and admittance maps determines the tangential entries of $hatvarepsilon$ and $hatmu$ at $partialM$ in their boundary normal coordinates, although the background volume form cannot be determined in such coordinates due to a non-uniqueness occuring from diffeomorphisms that fix the boundary. Then, we prove that in some cases, we can also recover the normal components of $hatmu$ up to a conformal multiple at $partialM$ in boundary normal coordinates for $hatvarepsilon$. Last, we build an inductive proof to show that if $hatvarepsilon$ and $hatmu$ are determined at $partialM$ in boundary normal coordinates for $hatvarepsilon$, then the same follows for their normal derivatives of all orders at $partialM$.
