And they are introducing "flash" pay by swipe bank cards!!!

Ok diff tech, but not so diff.

Bring back finger print............oops got me there, cut off the didgit needed!

Scare mongering, nothing more. All old hat now.

Yes, technically it is feasible - but not without the right kit - and serious knowledge.

Changes have been put in place to eliminate the problem.

Funny how people pick up on things like this, even though it was ostensibly, an academic exercise, yet are happy to entrust their security to a 4 digit pin or just as bad, prox technology based on 26 bit weigand, strange how everyone seems happy with that.

There's hundreds, if not thousands of duplicates in open issue.

God bless site codes or as mentioned b4 closed protocol.

on a UK campus the james bond nerd team is much more likely to get mugged for the lappy before they mange to clone any cards ?

Site codes ain't always that much use.

For example.

26 bit weigand only has 255 variants. Not a lot is it? especially considering how many cards HID have produced.

C&D is actually safer, only one number produced, no risk of duplicates (under normal conditions).
