  1. RFID Passports the dangers of the e-passport Stephanie Henrichs

  2. The Problem • RFID chips in the e-passport can be used to track an individual passport • Possible to create a device (i.e. bomb) to trigger when a specific passport passes with a range of the device • Found by computer scientists at the University of Birmingham

  3. My Solution • Complete overhaul of the system • Use a contact-based smart chip • Would need an intermediate solution • Inclusion of an RFID-blocking passport protector with purchase of passport

  4. Opposition • Such an overhaul would be time-consuming and expensive • Especially after so much was spent to develop the current system

  5. Why It’s Necessary • The current system is simply not safe • Should not have been released in the first place • Over 30 million e-passports have been issued • The RFID readers are cheap and easy to find
