RFID Chip Security and Elevator Interface Complexity
The increasing complexity of modern elevator systems, which require RFID fobs and digital floor selection before entering, is criticized as "theater security." A demonstration is described where a $13 ID reader-writer was used to easily clone building access fobs. The discussion suggests that as human chipping becomes more common, "Faraday gloves" will become a necessary privacy product to prevent unauthorized scanning.
