Passports and drivers licenses contain much more information than that; is that information not broadcast?
With all the new low-powered, local wireless networking technologies, I haven't thought about RFID for awhile. Is it not suitable for IoT? I assume that by default it only broadcasts one, static set of data; and probably only in response to a request; but even if I'm right, couldn't those features be changed easily?
- snake117 11y agoWith regards to your first question I was thinking the same thing so I did a quick search and found this post: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1626175 https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1626175 Here he says: > Six pieces of information can be stolen from the RFID chip on a U.S. passport: your name, nationality, gender, date of birth, place of birth, and a digitized photograph.
