The Kat's Meow
I love reading, writing, and taking mediocre
photographs. I work in Silicon Valley and
live in SF. I <3 nerds, geeks, and
smart people of all flavors.

RSA Security Chief Scientist on RFID 12:37 PM

QA with Burt Kaliski. He makes good, rational points. He doesn't say much that's new in the RFID conversation, however he makes mention of something that I haven't heard any discussion about yet -- that deactivating the RFID tag also disables benefits of the tag. Currently privacy advocates believe that having the ability to disable the tag at will is a good thing. And while it may be a good thing now for privacy, I agree with Kaliski that there has to be another way to safeguard privacy and still be able to take advantage of the technology. If killing the tags is the only way to ensure my privacy, then my dreams of a smart fridge are never going to be realized.
