With that said it should be accepted and put into any design. How to detect and resolve. This does not have to be something that is online/realtime as Mifare has ID build in so clones can be ferretted out.

Right now, there is a pilot at the UofA where staff will have their OneCards replaced with Mifare cards. Given that ETS has been planning the rollout of Mifare for such a long time, the implication is that the pilot is a formality and that staff and students will be required to carry RFID Mifare cards in a year.

Mifare is of course the imfamous manufacture of RFID ID cards whose security was cracked by MIT students. ETS basically says that the hack doesn’t apply to them (probably not using Mifare Classic) but that doesn’t address the added risk to users in the event that their cards are cloned due to a future hack.

The LRT expansion is great and I’ve already taken advantage of it quite a few times, but it did create a startlingly bad gridlock on a road that will be used by many people visiting Edmonton. Creating a massive grid lock on a street that any one visiting the University Hospital will be going down is a very poor idea for marketing your city to people visiting.
Otherwise, keep the expansions coming! I want to read a book instead of deal with rush hour traffic on my way to work!
