"The Texas Instruments DST tag is a cryptographically enabled RFID
transponder used in several wide-scale systems including vehicle
immobilizers and the ExxonMobil SpeedPass system. This page serves as
an overview of our successful attacks on DST enabled systems. A
preliminary version of the full academic paper describing our attacks
in detail is also available below."

"... Wallace, IT director at AAA Reading-Berks in Wyomissing, Penn.
has been bringing a card reader with him on business trips to see
what's on the magnetic strips of his hotel room access cards. To his
dismay, a surprising number have contained his name and credit card
information - and in unencrypted form."
