Black Hat RFID talk goes forward after all

After much back and forth, Chris Paget of IOActive decided to take the stage at the Black Hat Federal conference in Washington D.C. to give an abridged form of his "RFID for Beginners."

Paget, who is flanked by ACLU attorney Nicole Ozer, is talking about RFID vulnerabilities and being very careful not to picture technology nor mention products from "a certain vendor" or "a certain three letter acronym." A discussion of disclosure of RFID vulnerabilities will follow.

As advertised, this is a bare bones discussion of how RFID technology works, different types of RFID implementations (proximity cards, implantable chips a la VeriChip, and so on) and the security implications thereof.
