Dat sprongen valt wel mee hoor; gebruik RFID tagging nogal veel op mijn

Enkele meters is al door hackers gedemonstreerd. Dat met apparatuur van
gewone huis, tuin en keuken spulletjes samengesteld.
Daarom worden de Amerikaanse passen van een beschermende metaal
folie voorzien .... bij de Europese dus niet.
De man heet Paget. Google er maar eens op z'n naam met RFID en hacking
erbij.

Hier een quote:
n its October 2005 Federal Register notice, the State Department reassured
Americans that the e-passport's chip -- the ISO 14443 tag -- would emit
radio waves only within a 4-inch radius, making it tougher to hack.
Technologists in Israel and England, however, soon found otherwise. In May
2006, at the University of Tel Aviv, researchers cobbled together $110
worth of parts from hobbyists kits and directly skimmed an encrypted tag
from several feet away. At the University of Cambridge, a student showed
that a transmission between an e-passport and a legitimate reader could be
intercepted from 160 feet.
The State Department, according to its own records obtained under FOIA,
was aware of the problem months before its Federal Register notice and
more than a year before the e-passport was rolled out in August 2006.
"Do not claim that these chips can only be read at a distance of 10 cm (4
inches)," Moss wrote in an April 22, 2005, e-mail to Randy Vanderhoof,
executive director of the Smart Card Alliance. "That really has been
proven to be wrong."
