RF Shields From Prying Readers
Of late, the advantages of RFID have been clouded by issues of privacy. One company decided to grab the bull by the horn and do its bit to help the average citizen safeguard his/her privacy.
DIFRWEAR has come out with a line of wallets and passport holders that the company claims will repel and block unwanted RFID readers from gathering information. Quite a handy piece of leather to hold your RFID enabled credit cards, identity tags and passports!
The cases are built to shield radio frequency readers from accessing your personal data stored on passive RFID tags in various accessories in your wallet or passport. To allow legitimate readers access, all you have to do is flip open the flap provided for such an occasion.
With drivers’ licenses to hold RFID chips by the year 2007 according to the REALID act, these wallets are sure to sell like hotcakes. The company website states that all products have patent pending status from the US Patent and Trademark Office.
