California Planning Encryption of RFID Data
The state legislature in California passed the Identity Information Act of 2006 last month with the intent of protecting residents from abuse of data collected via RFID. This applies a variety of government-issued documents, especially smart id cards. [via B-Eye] Last year, California tabled Senate Bill 682 (Joe Simitian D-Palo Alto), which would prohibit RFID from being implemented in personal identity cards and documents, and then postponed the bill. Senate did, however, pass a 30-7 vote in August to impose regulations on RFID use.
