The Florida Senate is set to approve several amendments to the driver's license law, mandating the microchipping of every card. This means that each driver's license will be equipped with an RFID chip containing the owner's personal information. The Florida State Senate (USA) is going to approve some amendments to the driver's license law and introduce mandatory microchipping of each card. That is, each driver's license will be equipped with RFID chips, which contain the owner's personal data. This information can be read by a special device. Currently, such cards are equipped with a magnetic strip on the back, but in order to obtain driver data, this card must be swiped through a card reader, while an RFID chip can be read from a distance. Security technology experts say that this is simply a precautionary measure against the unauthorized use of driver's licenses, such as copying. The RFID chipping system is already being used in several American cities (Washington, New York, Vermont, and Michigan). The main disadvantage of this innovation is that the chip information can be easily stolen if it is within range of an RFID reader. After all, there will always be an intruder who will not miss the opportunity to obtain a person's personal data and use it for selfish purposes. For this case, a case made of a special material that blocks radio frequency waves was developed.
This trend will soon reach the borders of the CIS countries, so it is worth adopting the experience of Western colleagues, so as not to learn from your own mistakes in the future.
