Did anyone read the source material? The only evidence comes from a press release of SpyChips.com, an anti-RFID group. Their source? A network administrator at CityWatcher.com. Not exactly stellar reporting, i.e. confirmation of sources. Pay close attention to the list of recommended books at the en...

The guy who did the test seems reasonably real. In any case, six-sigma should have some sort of answer to the question of cloning their chips. If they don't have an answer, then I'd bet that they haven't dealt with the problem....

There are readers that can "scan" your chip from several hundred meters away....

A little googling would show there are other sources for the story, including press releases from the company doing it. (I guess that one of the more alarming aspects of this, to me, is that the company is actually bragging about it instead of trying to keep it quiet. Either their own internal cultu...

This is a pathetic attempt at security, every one knows it will be impossible to create a secure

While it's possible, it doesn't seem likely. The fundamental problem with trying to use these types of devices for security applications is that they don't have enough power to do real computation, so every command to control them is just matched against a fixed string, and everything they output is...

That is more talk of "end of the world" that is not realism. Heck if you wanted to work at a job now that didn't require ID card swipes you could easily do so. If you wanted to work at a job with a ton of tattoos you could still do so. No one complains about that status quo. The end of the world sce...
