 德国黑客和保安顾问，卢克斯Grunwald，再展示了怎么政府强制执行投入我们的安全、身分和保密性在危险中，当声称提供确切在对面时的不安全的技术。

因为设法的Grunwald碰撞二个护照读者和状态它可能是可能重编程序读者批准伪造的或到期的护照，包含高度有争议的RFID芯片的生物统计的护照证明是更加脆弱的比首先认为。 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.
