Another RFID post, this time in regards to the company "Verayo" claiming to have build the world's first unclonable RFID chip. This is done by imprinting each chip with it's own unique "DNA" while retaining the core function of the chip. If this is true, then in a few years, the tech that powers this would be cheap enough to mass produce on an affordable scale.
A diagram of how the chip is supposed to work:
I'm extremely excited by this because of all the arcade RFID CCG games (Sangokushi Taisen, Quest of D, etc.) that could be brought to the home market because of this. In the arcades, authentication is done by the extremely expensive and bulky cabinet, but if each card had the ability to self-regulate copyright, then it would take out the work of the arcade tech and the home version (digital playmat/board perhaps?) would be much cheaper to make sans expensive counterfeit reader. This will definitely be an avenue to watch in the coming years.
