License Plate Cloning
June 11th, 2007
From Schneier on Security:
A BBC story notes how people are modifying license plates to evade congestion charges and speed cameras:
More than 40,000 sets of number plates were stolen in 2006, a rise of almost 25%, according to police estimates.
Acpo wants a central issuing body for the registration numbers, and all cars to have tamper-proof plates fitted.
The success of cloning has implications for the use of ANPR and other technologies that identify cars by their license plate.
