I'm fairly impressed that the guy's voice did not fluctuate one bit during the whole process. Seemed slightly painful, at least.

Why? If the chip is only programmed for the safe you have no potential abuse by hackers. Also, it would be incredibly convenient in a SHTF scenario. Didn't seem like he experienced any serious pain either. |

Thw problem is that he choose a poor insertion point which has a high chance of rejection. |

Ah, had no idea about that. I know very little about the efficiency of RFID chips. What made his insertion point a poor choice? Skin too thick? |

The only issue I see is what happens when you are having technical issues with the RFID chip/home built electronics. It would really suck if you really needed to get into your safe and then come to find out that , something needs a reboot, or I forgot to iron out that bug. Pretty cool though. |

RFID chips are about as reliable as a credit card (assuming they are installed properly). Have you ever had a credit card fail on you? I haven't. |

overall,.. not really. I had one CC that wouldn't work 100% of the time.. but that was a couple years ago and I haven't had any problems since (most retailers have upgraded their equipment over the old POS they used to use. I DO have problems with hotel room 'keys'.. if I keep on in my pocket near my cellphone, they are sure not to work later on. |

Yes, cellphones kill hotel room keys. I've had lots of credit card strips go bad over the years. RFID I don't think would be affected. |

at blackhat this year, they showed just how simple it is to steal an RFID... it is not as "secure" as people think... |

In order to 'steal' the RFID in this case, they would have to want to.... Meaning they would have to know it opens his safe, Unless he has it linked to CC accounts and uses it for more than his safe, security through secrecy works well enough for this purpose.... |

Mucho stupido. Did he even show it working?? too many things can go wrong with an RFID.
Was it an active or passive RFID? He didn't say. If it is active he'll HAVE to replace it sooner or later. If it is passive he better hope that A. his skin does not block the signal B. that is does not interfere with the RFIDs ability to get power from the radio source. C. that it does not malfunction. If it is Passive he will have to be EXTREMELY close to the source for it to work. It would be so much easier to just put one on a watch or any item you HAVE to wear 90% of the time. (except sleeping perhaps) |

Neat concept. I would be hesitant to have an RFID chip implanted... but, now, if I could have one in my phone, or something that I almost always have on my person, I'd love to be able to walk up to my car, have it unlock for me, then turn a knob or press a button to have it start. Then have it shut off and lock itself when I walk away from it.

Welcome to the end of days, they'll be implanting those things in our foreheads soon to use as credit cards.

I'm not sure ya'll understand how RFID works. It's a passive system that is activated by a field on the entry device. Think of the proximity cards you use for work. Your badge does not send out any signals, but when it is brought near a magnetic field it has a reciever in it which uses the field to then generate a signal back to the reciever, identifying you. There is very little chance that these passive devices will "go bad". Even if they do, a quick incision with an scalpel and the tag will come right out.
I do not think these implants will experience rejection issues - these have long been used in livestock and pets with great success. All that being said, the ability to "clone" a RFID device is easily available. Yes, there are easier ways to break into houses/cars/etc, but having a "master key" to everything in your life I do not believe is a wise idea. RFID is the way of the future, however it is just a digital replacement for keys. Normal keys do not authenticate themselves to the lock - there is no way to tell if it is an original or a duplicate. RFID suffers from the safe problem. Doc |

RFID chips are supposed to be implanted at the base of your brain on the back of your neck. When they are implanted on the hand, all someone has to do is chop the hand off and then they have access to your stuff. |

The same idea has been used to unlock car doors. Big_Scrun posted a video about his business partner at the time showing it.

A year or two ago in one of the IEEE publications there was an article on a guy who also had an RFID chip emplanted. He used it to open his house, start his Motorcycle, and log on to his home computers. I'm not surprised by this, in a way it makes sense. More secure than a combination or key, and easier to use especially at o'dark thirty. |

Assuming they know you have a chip installed.... As long as they knew where the chip was installed in you, regardless of location, it would be extremely easy to remove the chip. |
