rfc716828077y"Now you can use the same technology as your beloved pets to get your food! :D"
On the other hand, I'd possibly get one to tinker with for private projects, just not for some stupid job. -
shiv3797997yI've always wondered with these... You know those sparking gas hob lighters? Would the rfid device short out if you put that up to your skin and jolted yourself?
-
zshh38537yFuck that. I'll never get one of those implants unless I can control the hardware and software by myself. I'm too paranoid.

rfc716828077y@shiv379 Should be possible as you basically need a strong EM-field to short the device. You might want to a add some capacitance depending on the pulse width.
(That would make an interesting experiment. Now I want to try it. :D) -
ddephor45117y@shiv379 RFID devices are hardened against the common electromagnetic interference, I don't think that such a piezo lighter would kill that thing.
But I can assure you that less than a second in a microwave oven will fix it. I work with smartcards and surely had to try it 😈
So, how do you get one's hand in the microwave then? -
@simeg Joint the club! Also this is not about paranoia but about the basic human right called privacy imo
-
rfc716828077y@shiv379 @ddephor I would rather suggest something less illegal like a barbecue. ;)
Pork meat could sustitute human flesh in terms of electrical conductivity for this experiment. -
rfc716828077y@SoulSkrix There are some NFC rings in the market. I used one to unlock my phone for some time.
-
rfc716828077y@SoulSkrix I can recommend http://nfcring.com/ but there are also some cheaper alternatives.

curlz1627yIt's a nice idea, but IMO it's too big of an security issue to walk around with a RFID chip that anybody could read ...
Someone bumped into you on the subway ? Now they got your credit card number 👌 -
shiv3797997yThere was a proof of concept of that a while back with rfid security cards. You swipe over someone's wallet (disguise it as bumping into them or otherwise conceal it), take the Sara and crack it, then you had to bump again and you were able to clone the card.

tmux20197yIt's awesome how we are perfectly ok with security cameras all over the workplace but we dislike RFID chips.
I guess it's the implant part that bothers people and not the privacy, since a good face recognition software can already track us at the same level.
Personally I'm opposed to both. -
ddephor45117y@shiv379 That does not apply to all RFID devices, there are several technologies, and just a few of them are really cracked (like Mifare classic, Mifare Desfire 1K (but only one special hardware type), and many proprietary RFID techs).
Most of the time the problems come from the application using RFID by not using the security provided or using it wrong.
Most RFID technologies are still safe in terms of accessing secured data and cloning the whole card, which is only possible for memory devices anyway. Devices with real applications usually handle crypto stuff internal and provide an interface to the outside world for access and manipulating data, so they cannot be cloned just like that.
The UID itself can't be secured, there are programmable devices which can forge the UID. That has to be taken into account when designing RFID-applications.
And many RFID technologies lack a solution against man-in-the-middle attacks either, but that's a big problem for other technologies as well. -
Xpenz3407yCode in Microchips = hackable
Microchips + Human = very "good" idea
(My paranoid perspective.)

Notice :
All the beloved citizens are hereby informed that such RFID chips will be available for everyone soon and it is an honest request to everyone to get these implants as soon as possible.
Thank you for Co-operating, Have a nice day :)
