Lewis N. Clark RFD Safe Hidden Neck Wallet, Taupe

From the Manufacturer: The Basics of RFID

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips are used in passports and credit cards to allow their owners to bypass the normal requirements of scanning or checking in. However, electronic identity thieves have undermined the security of RFID products by devising scanners that read your personal information without you even realizing it. All US passports issued after 2006 contain RFID chips, and 98% of credit cards will be converted to microchip by 2017.

Lewis N. Clark RFID products shield the following types of items:

• All new contactless credit cards
• US passports
• Enhanced driver's licenses (Washington, Michigan, New York, and Vermont)
• HID iClass, HID MIFARE, HID FlexSmart

The Details

Lewis N. Clark RFID-blocking fabrics are made of hand washable copper- and nickel-based Polyethylene Terephthalate. They conform to FIPS 201 testing, which mandates that the material blocks up to 13.56MHz, the standard frequency required in credit cards and passports according to the Financial Services Technology Consortium (FSTC). These fabrics also comply with ISO15693, the standard at which cards can be read from a distance. However, they do not shield older 'prox' cards (HID 125 khz. Includes: ProxCard II, ISOProx II, DuoProx II, Smart ISOProx II, Smart DuoProxII, ProxCard Plus) or Indala FlexISO, FLexCard, FLex Tag.
