| How safe is RFID tag? |

Yes, it is possible. Just check out this report by a group of students at Johns Hopkins University and RSA Laboratories. They used TI’s RFID tag as an example as it is used in vehicle immobilizers and ExxonMobil SpeedPass payment system. According to their research report, although the encryption algorithm used in TI RFID tag is not public published and uses a 40-bit key, they used a black-box reverse-engineering method to recover the secret key from the tag. They said it took them 10 hours to crack a key. The detail report can be found at http://www.rfid-analysis.org/.
There is another report about Dutch RFID passport(http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=600.) Unfortunately, it can be cracked within two hours.
Security seems having an issue in RFID tag. Look at the research report from here.

I feel some concern over the security of RFID tag? My ChaseCard just issued me so called, blink card, with RFID tag. Can someone hack into my card even without touching my purse?
