Despite the numerous warnings from cryptographers, the new electronic passports continue to use easily clonable microchips thus providing no additional security or counterfeight-resistance whatsoever but coming at a very high additional cost to the consumer.

Demand for the RFID and smartcard solutions is growing. Due to their small size and power limitations, it is often impossible to fit cryptographic standards into those microchips. Secure proprietary algorithms are required, but microchip manufacturers are not cryptographers... Thus more and more RFID and smartcard products with weak proprietary cryptography of chip manufacturers are reverse engineered, hacked and cloned.

Easily clonable RFID and smartcard microchips have already become a national security threat. Over a billion of insecure RFID chips are putting their owners at risk today.

VEST Corporation is here to solve the problem of microchip cloning once and for all.
