Le tecnologie di governo riducono la sicurezza nazionale

 Un consulente in materia tedesco di sicurezza e del hacker, Lukas Grunwald, ha dimostrato ancora come i governi stanno facendo rispettare la tecnologia insicura che mette la nostre sicurezza, identità e segretezza al rischio, mentre sostenendo fornire l'esatto di fronte a.

I passaporti biometrici che contengono i circuiti integrati altamente discutibili di RFID sono stati indicati per essere ancor più vulnerabili che in primo luogo hanno pensato come Grunwald riuscito per arrestare due lettori del passaporto e lo dichiara hanno potuto essere possibili per reprogram i lettori per approvare i passaporti forgiati o estinti. The exploit will also allow someone to access, hijack and clone a passport holder’s fingerprint, a truly shocking revelation.

It is also possible to create false fingerprints to fool the system but officials bury their head in the sand and remain silent on the issue.

RFID enabled biometric passports were specifically introduced, or so we are told, to prevent passport forgery and increase national security but as Grunwald has discovered, they actually reduce security and provide hackers and identity thieves with a new set of tools to compromise our welfar and allow hackers to override the computer system.

Grunwald stated: “The whole passport design is totally brain damaged, from my point of view all of these RFID passports are a huge waste of money. They’re not increasing security at all.”

Last year he demonstrated how easy it is to clone passports.

“If you’re able to crash something you are most likely able to exploit it, I predict that most of the vendors are using off-the-shelf (software) libraries for decoding the JPEG2000 images,” says Grunwald, meaning all airports are susceptible to the hack.

The U.S. State Department had no comment, a telling sign.
