摘要

I've never really thought of myself as much of a seer, prognosticator or predictor of the future, but based on a column I wrote back in 2005,I just may have a future in the prediction field. In that column, "Security Getting Trampled in the Rush to RFID," I put forth a hypothetical situation where I could sit in a city square with nothing but a laptop and a small wireless device and-because of the ubiquity of unsecure, RFID-enabled gadgets-be able to do everything from read passports, identify employees and students, and even access credit card numbers and information. When I wrote that column, I was roundly jeered by RFID proponents. They said what I envisioned was impossible, that to read those RFID tags I would need to be within inches of the person carrying them and would have to use a very large and expensive device. It wasn't long before security researchers were able to successfully read RFID tags from 20 yards to 30yards away, but still the RFID ostriches discarded these results as too expensive, too large and too complicated to take seriously as a threat. And whaf s happened in the last year? Researchers have been able to crack and clone a variety of RFID tags to gain access to buildings or get free rides on public transportation, and when the popular TV show "Mythbusters" planned an episode on the ease of cracking RFID-enabled credit cards, the credit card companies threw a phalanx of lawyers at the program before it could show the insecurity of these credit cards.
