The security concerns lie in what is actually contained within the RFID and not necessarily the signal being transmitted. If you were to overwrite the data on an RFID with malicious code, that code would then execute on the underlying DB (SQL, Oracle, etc.). Typically, DB programmers working with RFID inventory systems do not spend a great deal of time (if any) on security measures. So by simply adding a malicious SQL query or insert ont= o the RFID, that code would execute against the DB with the same permissions as inventory items being processed. Demonstrating the risk to your clients may be difficult unless you actually test it against their inventory DB. Also, an open-source software package for editing and abusing rfid tags has been released: http://www.rf-dump.org/ Also check out http://www.line56.com/articles/default.asp?ArticleID=3D7439. --Jason Kratzer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
