RFID Blocking Card Sleeves for Contactless Credit Cards

The PaperTyger Defender® RFID Blocking Material Has Arrived!

Protect Your Personal Identity.

Businesses may ask for a “free” trial of 3 card sleeves today!

Individuals can buy “3 for $9.99” with Visa/MC/Paypal.

The PaperTyger Defender® RFID Blocking Material may just be the savior for identity protection with contactless credit cards, gift cards, debit cards, key FOBS, etc! Sheppard Envelope Company is proud to be an official converter of this material for credit card sleeves, inserts, and other packaging related opportunities that operate at the 13.56 MHz frequency established by ISO standard 14443.

Not only will the PaperTyger Defender® RFID Blocking Material successfully block transmission of the 13.56 MHz frequency used by contactless credit, gift, and debit cards per the ISO 14443 standard, but it also includes proprietary adhesives and boundary layers (like plastic) for a very tough to tear product!

In other words, you get the security of knowing that your contactless card data cannot be inadvertently read by prying scanners (see any scary episodes recently of 20-20 or CSI New York?? – we have!!) and you get the durability to protect your card similar to DuPont’s spun-bonded polyolefin (a.k.a. TyvekÒ). What more could one want???

Ahh, yes, unlike other products, the PaperTyger Defender® RFID Blocking Material can be readily printed using conventional inks and can be converted using conventional adhesives – so you don’t have to sacrifice image quality or convertability – which means a fantastic price!!!

RFID technology is very big in Europe – with the advancement of the PaperTyger Defender® RFID Blocking Material in the US, now personal privacy can be assured at a reasonable cost to take the technology even further in the United States.

Unsure if your card uses RFID? No problem, our sleeves will protect a common magnetic stripe card as well! Again, the material is almost as durable as DuPont’s Tyvek® and costs significantly less!

U.Va. student, hackers crack credit card security code
By the Associated Press
March 1, 2008
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.

An encryption code used to protect billions of credit cards, subway passes and security badges is safe no more.

A University of Virginia graduate student and two fellow
hackers say they have cracked the code used for tiny
chips found inside many "smartcards" with readily
available equipment that cost less than $1,000.

Twenty-six-year-old Karsten Nohl and his two German
partners dismantled the chip and mapped out its secret
security algorithm. They ran the formula through a
computer program and broke the encryption after a few
hours.

"I don't want to help attackers, but I want to inform people about the vulnerabilities of these cards," said
Nohl, a Ph.D. candidate in computer engineering at U.Va. who is originally from Germany.

The wireless chips found inside credit cards, car keys, security keycards and subway passes use
technology known as radio-frequency identification. Cracking the code would allow a criminal to clone
credit cards, get free subway rides, gain access to buildings or steal cars.

Nohl and his colleagues announced their findings at the Chaos Communications Congress in Berlin, an
annual worldwide convention of hackers.

While they are not releasing the details of how they beat the chip's security code, Nohl said if they could
defeat the code, it is possible that criminals might also have done so.

The chip Nohl breached is manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, a Netherlands company formerly
affiliated with the electronics firm Philips.

Manuel Albers, director of regional marketing for North and South America for NXP, disputed the
claim, saying Nohl and his partners obtained only a portion of the cryptographic algorithm.

The company has been in contact with Nohl and his team and is reviewing their findings.

"We constantly improve and review our products to make sure it's up to snuff with the latest security threats," Albers said.

Projects such as hacking the security code is the "evil twin" of Nohl's regular research, he said, which
focuses on the development of cryptographic algorithms for computer security.

Exposing security flaws through hacking helps ensure that future products are more secure, said Nohl's
faculty adviser, David Evans, an associate professor in U.Va.'s School of Engineering and Applied
Science.
