RFID Shields
Friday, 23rd December, 2011 - Merle
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identity. Embedded RFID chip technology is being increasingly used in Credit Cards and even newly issued Australian Passports. An embedded antenna, along with the embedded RFID chip in the Credit Card, allows the credit card to be automatically read by "tap and go" RFID scanners. These RFID chips contain sensitive information – your account number and expiry date on your credit card and your personal information on your passport.
RFID scanners/readers are able to send a signal which is intercepted by the embedded antennae and the information on the card/passport is transferred to the RFID scanner. This technology allows for quicker processing times for credit card transactions and facilitates quicker and more accurate passport control. The problem arises when the RFID scanners (which are freely available for purchase) are used by criminals for nefarious purposes. The information from your credit cards can be acquired by a RFID scanner without your knowledge, simply by the RFID scanner being activated in close proximity to your handbag or wallet.
RFID technology is set to become the standard format for credit cards in the near future. Our RFID blocking products block the transmission of the radio waves and if used correctly, render RFID scanners powerless to acquire our information without our knowledge or consent.
