No, hackers can actually pull RFID codes from the chip without accessing the computer. It really is a stupid idea.

But that gives them nothing. Now they have the RFID, without the reader on the other side all they’ve got is a big long number. It’s not like the credit cards where there are readers all over the place. For this the reader controls access to your computer, go to some other computer with something spoofing as your RFID and nothing happens.

In India there is a project to photograph everyone’s pupils in the near IR for ID purposes. That’s 1.8 billion people!

“Uh, huh. And when that ring gets stolen, or “borrowed” by your kids ... ???”
Well, that wouldn’t be a problem in “the hood”, since no one would be able to figure out which ring is the hot one.

At the RSA security conference in San Francisco last month, Mayank Upadhyay, ... said that using personal hardware to log in would remove the dangers of people reusing passwords or writing them down. He also thought people would feel some familiarity with the approach. “Everyone is familiar with an ATM. What if you could use the same experience with a computer?” You mean I would have to type a code sequence into the keypad to get it to operate? Great Idea!
