Cellphone could crack RFID tags, says cryptographer Rick Merritt EE Times (02/14/2006 4:26 PM EST) http://www.eetimes.com/news/semi/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=180201688 >From that article: "I haven’t tested all RFID tags, but we did test the biggest brand and it is totally unprotected," Shamir said.
