ComputerWorld is reporting
that 3 scientists from the Netherlands demonstrated a proof-of-concept virus that could take over mock-up middle-ware on
a Radio Frequency ID (RFID) system, something few people thought was possible. "Pervasive computing utopia has its dark side," they say. The consequences here could
be huge, but thank goodness some one came public with this information before we all got implants. I know I was
totally excited to get an implant before this news burst my bubble ;)
RFID is likely one key part of the
future of digital identity. Glad the conversation is complexifying beyond surveillance/civil liberties concerns
and people without those concerns. I know I don't want to be wrongfully accused of hording an illicit number of
unregistered Gillette razors in my bathroom.
