All I Want for Christmas…

August 7th, 2009

I’ve been telling my family I want a new bike (since I’ve been riding the one I bought from Jeff Balogh regularly since  May, and I’m still not dead), but maybe I want a Faradayed wallet:

To help prevent surreptitious readers from siphoning RFID data, a company named DIFRWear was doing brisk business at DefCon selling leather Faraday-shielded wallets and passport holders lined with material that prevents readers from sniffing RFID chips in proximity cards.

    But not for same reason (and from another firm). I’ve bought one to protect my credit card from waves in my lab.
