Hacking a RFID Tag 101
A group gathered in Las Vegas says that RFID tags are being developed without security in mind. It may be only a matter of time, without public intervention, before these tags replace the bar code on most commercial items. The problem is that the 128 bytes of data can be visible to anyone with a reader, and with too few tags having write protection. However, consumers should have the ability to rewrite or destroy the RFID tag information to preserve privacy.
