QUOTE In May, researchers at the University of Tel Aviv created a skimmer from electronics hobbyist kits costing less than $110. The equipment was small enough to fit into a briefcase or be disguised in any manner of luggage or clothes that could hide the 15-inch copper tube antenna. A link from the last Eff Newsletter I posted: How to Build a Low-Cost, Extended-Range RFID Skimmer -------------------- I love being married.
It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy, for the rest of your life. |

Security flawed in electronic passports
QUOTE LAS VEGAS -- Electronic passports being introduced in the United States and other countries have a major vulnerability that allows criminals to clone embedded secret codes and enter countries illegally, a researcher warned.
A demonstration by German computer-security specialist Lukas Grunwald showed how personal information stored on the documents could be copied and transferred to another device. It appeared to contradict assurances by officials in government and private industry that the electronic information stored in passports could not be duplicated. Page two --------------------  |
