RFID Guardian Protects Your Privacy

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the don't-look-at-me dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new device devised by Amsterdam graduate student Melanie Rieback is designed to serve as a portable firewall for RFID tags. The portable battery-powered RFID Guardian uses an access control list to filter RFID queries, blocking queries that aren't approved. Rieback, who is also known for being the first researcher to develop a proof of concept RFID virus, hopes to offer version 3.0 of the RFID Guardian to the public at cost."

    The genius part was proving their was a threat, then inventing the solution to that threat.
