Quick Guide to RFID-Security
Permanent
visual control over bank cards and passport protect against pickpockets. But
what about the thieves, who do not need to be chosen so close? Many cards and
passports using RFID technology and an attacker can "steal" these
things, not even touching him physically, leaving them in humans. So what is
RFID and how to protect your RFID-values? You will find in this this short tutorial
on RFID security...
What is
RFID?
RFID
stands for Radio Frequency Identification. This is based on the chip technology
used in many industries, as well as credit cards or passports to store personal
information that can be transmitted to the RFID scanner.
What is
RFID-theft?
The
RFID-theft, theft call using the scanner for reading and duplication of
personal information from the RFID, the subject of someone else without the
owner's knowledge. Despite the fact that as long as the street it happens very
rarely, security researchers have demonstrated successful "attack"
(ways to steal information from some devices c RFID-enabled) and the illegal
use of such attacks can lead to credit card fraud or identity theft.
How does
the wallet with RFID-protection?
Material
intended for blocking RFID-signals included in a lining pocket. While your card
or passport wrapped into this material, the scanner can not read the
information inside. As the RFID
card holder could keep your card safe.
whether
card is protected when the wallet is opened?
It depends
on the design of the wallet and you should clarify this point, the retailer
purse instead of men’s leather
wallets. The blocking material is effective only if your cards or
passport wrapped in it. Some purses material is not included in the internal
panel (this might be the design feature that allows you to scan the map,
opening the purse, but without taking the card).
