Homeland Security technology to protect data in credit cards

14/08/2006

California-based lifestyle company Kena Kai has launched its new line of DataSafe Wallets for men and women which utilise radio-frequency (RF) shielding material to protect credit cards that feature the new Contactless Smart Card Technology.

Reports indicate that more than 20 million contactless chip cards will be in the market by the end of the year.

The new DataSafe Wallet line is made from full-grain Italian leather and includes bi-folds, tri-folds, credit card wallets, women's wallets, and passport holders in full-grain Italian leather. Each style will incorporate a patent-pending design of RF shielding material that will block any attempt to access the credit card's Smart Card chips. This lightweight, metal infused fabric material was originally developed for NASA to protect satellites from harmful radio-waves.
