RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION

In short, RFID refers to the identification of data via electromagnetic waves. Do you sometimes go shopping? If so, you are probably familiar with the RFID chips that protect products in department stores from theft. When you make a purchase at the checkout, the RFID protection is removed.

But this is not the only place where we encounter RFID in everyday life: Electronic keys, for example in hotels, access and employee cards and probably also your car key work using RFID technology.

To invisibly protect your data, a type of aluminum foil is incorporated between the outer layer and the inner lining of your wallet, which shields all frequencies that attempt to establish a connection with the RFID chips on your cards.

The incorporation of the film can cause a slight rustling sound in RFID wallets. The film can easily slip or wrinkle. This is why some leather manufacturers, including BRAUN BÜFFEL, work to the highest standards and opt to use a special, self-adhesive film. The high-quality protective layers are constantly tested and are TÜV-certified.

Prevent application errors: Tips from the manufacturer

The many years of experience of some German leather manufacturers indicate that a large proportion of security gaps are due to application errors . It is important to ensure that bank cards in particular are kept in an RFID-protected card compartment inside the wallet. This is because the foils are not built into all compartments in every wallet model. So if you store a card in a bill compartment or coin compartment, it may not be possible to prevent the data from being read.
