Description

Specialties

Identity Stronghold is the leading provider of RFID shielding products, including secure wallets, sleeves and badgeholders.

History

Established in 2005.

Identity Stronghold was founded in 2005 with two thoughts in mind: Inform consumers about RFID embedded chips, and then protect those consumers. In the process, we started the whole industry for RFID protection.

Founder Walt Augustinowicz has a technology background, and when discussions started to surface about having a national ID card for all residents with an embedded RFID chip, he started to study.

To his dismay, he found that the interaction with an RFID chip embedded in a card was ‘wireless’. That is, the transaction passed through the air, and no contact with the card was necessary.

He then knew that anyone armed with one of those readers could mimic that transaction and take the data on the card, transmitted by the chip, without the card owner knowing. We have named this unlawful transaction ‘electronic pickpocketing’.

His effort to protect himself led to the development of the protective Secure Sleeve®, and Secure Wallet™.
