ABSTRACT:
This invention includes the system and method for the manufacture and use of a hermetically sealed Faraday cage in the retail/consumer goods environment. It is called the “Secure Self Scan” and is constructed using meshed glass, sheet metal and edge level elastomers as agents of containment and reflection. The invention prevents unauthorized access to communication protocols between RFID tagged consumer items and an RFID interrogator. It also prevents unauthorized access to communication protocols between an RFID interrogator and contact less smart card. This invention takes the mal ware writer and hacker plus the skimmer and eavesdropper out of the RFID equation in relationship to consumer goods, contact less smart cards and consumer privacy. Furthermore, this invention magnifies RFID interrogation signals within the Secure Self Scan unit thereby increasing read rates while concurrently obviating external electromagnetic interference, thereby increasing RFID tag read rates.
