Nothing is safe if left unattended. It’s trivial to make a ‘proxy’ RF device that sends your PIN to the attacker and receives whatever data you would expect from your original hardware token.
- jopsen 9y agoat the end of the day no encryption is perfect... security is all about making it harder for an attacker. A physical device certainly raises the bar.. that said the RF proxy attack is interesting, I'm sure it's non-trivial to do, as the device has to look legitimate. Nonetheless I better wrap my laptop in tinfoil from now on :)
