Solution to prevent "skimming" of RFID contactless cards

Hilversum, The Netherlands

CIPI Europe BV in Hilversum, The Netherlands has launched its Secure Badgeholder, a special card holder designed to protect information on contactless RFID cards from being "skimmed" (copied) and used to produce duplicate cards.

Unauthorized theft of information stored on cards can seriously compromise security in areas such as access control, cashless transactions and transport passes. As ID-theft is a growing problem, it is increasingly necessary for companies to be able to protect themselves from this threat.

The shielded, patent pending Secure Badgeholder is a barrier to the radio frequency signals that are necessary to communicate with contactless cards. This offers protection against unauthorized access to valuable information, yet allows the card to be read without being removed from the holder.

The Secure Badgeholder is designed to be safe, easy in use, and to be part of the corporate identity, since it offers the possibility to be customized. It's an ideal solution that combines visual identification and the protection of an RFID card.
