Understanding RFID Technology
Learn how RFID technology works, the risks it poses, and how Scanner Guard Card protects your personal information from unauthorized scanning.
What is RFID Technology?
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data wirelessly between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking.
How RFID Technology Works
- The RFID Reader: Emits radio waves that activate the RFID chip
- The RFID Chip: Receives the signal and powers up using the energy from the radio waves
- Data Transmission: The chip transmits its stored information back to the reader
- Processing: The reader receives and processes the information
Where RFID is Used Today
RFID technology has become prevalent in many everyday items you carry:
Credit & Debit Cards
Most modern payment cards have RFID chips that enable contactless payments.
ID & Access Cards
Building access cards, employee IDs, and student cards often use RFID for quick scanning.
Passports & IDs
Many government-issued documents contain RFID chips storing personal information.
The Risks of RFID Technology
Electronic Pickpocketing
Criminals can use concealed RFID readers to wirelessly steal your card information without physically touching your wallet or purse. This can happen in crowded places like public transit, shopping centers, or airports.
What Information is at Risk?
- •Credit card numbers and expiration dates
- •Cardholder names
- •Transaction histories
- •Personal identification information
- •Passport data and travel information
How Does RFID Theft Happen?
- •Thieves use portable readers that can capture data from up to 3 feet away
- •The theft is completely invisible and undetectable
- •Victims are unaware their information has been compromised
- •Stolen data can be used for fraudulent purchases or identity theft
How Scanner Guard Card Works
The Scanner Guard Card uses patented technology to create an electromagnetic shield that blocks RFID signals from reaching your cards, thus preventing unauthorized scanning and protecting your personal information.
The Science Behind Our Protection
Our patented technology incorporates a specialized material arrangement that creates an electromagnetic field, effectively blocking the 13.56 MHz frequency range used by RFID readers to communicate with payment cards and identification documents.
When an RFID reader sends out radio waves, the Scanner Guard Card interrupts the signal, preventing the activation of RFID chips in your cards and blocking any data transmission.
Key Benefits of Scanner Guard Card
