Re: Enclosed, but not encrypted 19 February 2008 16:31

As the report says, in this case we didn't examine the security of
the RFID system because it wasn't the weakest link in the chain.

It should be possible to build a secure RFID system using a
Challenge-Response protocol, but whether this would be used in
low-cost equipment like these enclosures remains to be seen.
