Re: [Texascavers] RFID Credit Cards

2013-02-17 Thread Brian Vauter
Just as an FYI (and I can't believe this thread is still going)

Within the business of taking credit cards at NBC, I have been told by two
software vendors and one processor that chip-and-pin will be coming to the
US around 2015. If you are a merchant, this will likely mean you'll need to
purchase a new credit card swipe as many of the current ones are not set up
to deal with chip/pin.

This is going to the two-point security model: "something you have" and
"something you know." By moving to this level of security, it becomes more
difficult for a miscreant to use a credit card. Your PIN is not stored on
the card (hopefully you won't store it in your wallet/purse).

There's also "something you are" but I've yet to figure out what that might
entail (biometric maybe?).

Bob is getting through his treatment Bob Style. He's in good spirits, positive, 
nearly done with chemo and only a few more weeks of radiation. He's lost a 
"bit" of weight, but we can fatten him up some when he gets through all this. 
MaryAnn is hanging tough with him as is are their Girls. Keep up the positive

Re: [Texascavers] Re: [SWR] RFID Credit Cards

2013-02-17 Thread Don Cooper
The basic RFID system is a simple transponder.
All it does is enables the chip to transmit a number when scanned.
That number is essentially an indexing string of data which contains
no personal information.
Out of the context of the process of the read - the number has no
significance.  Plus - that context has deeply embedded encryption
algorithms based on time, location and date - which are called "one
way ciphers".
Credit cards can store other information on the magnetic strip -
including your name but never a PIN - some contain only a number.

Don't Panic.
