RFID/NFC

[Liquid]

How many people have started utilising this tech in your phones or credit/debit cards?

I have a friend who has developed a case for NFC equipped phone that can distort the signal unless its being actively used by the user.

He also has developed a credit card sized deflecter for use in wallet applications (saves buying a new wallet/you can keep the wallet/purse of your choice)

I'm just trying to gather info into the useage of the tech before I drop some money into his designs to further the concepts:)

Look forward to your replies:)

EDIT:I think I've posted in the wrong section and it won't let me delete:( rather than spam if a mod could move it:)

Isn't that how the fingerprint dust sticks anyway ?

That I didn't know:)

Brilliant our patent application has been accepted were sufficiently different enough:)

Thank you mi5:) almost lost hope haha.

Right next question does anyone know the legality of purchasing blank rfid credit cards in the uk?

I can find rfid cards that run on the same frequency but they don't contain the normal credit card chip(legal?)

does anyone know a uk vendor? eBay and Hong Kong don't sound awefully appealing:(

Apparently the wait for patent acceptance can be months:(

You can try Alibaba but most will be far east purchases.

Are you after just the blank cards with the RFID tag in them? What frequency do they need to be?

[Liquid]

Yup just blank cards with the chip(passive ones) I believe this should circumvent the laws around blank credit cards. (I only have interest in the rfid chips)

The standard smart card ones run at 13.56mhz so I should probably stick with those.

I only ask cause I know that keyless entry on cars use different frequencies and that is my only guideline.

[Liquid]

Good point I hadn't considered keyless entry on cars. If I'm honest I haven't even seen one in person. My Audi lets me start as long as the key is in the car but I still have manual entry.

Must admit I hate it.
